Chelsea acquires Torres from Liverpool

[overmaars]

WOW. Pay $79MM for a pouty primadonna with glass knees? A desperation move for a club operating at an annual loss of $100 Million if you ask me.

 

[Squall]

as a huge Chelsea fan ......

I got nothin'

no idea what this was about.

 

[Denmark]

And they promptly lost to Liverpool!

 

[Denmark]

I don't think he has scored for them yet???

I love that we got Suarez

 

[Denmark]

3 weeks later,... since last post...and he still hasn't scored a goal for Chelsea

 

[Squall]

Would he rather not score a goal this year and play in the champions league next year or score 10 goals for the 'pool and play in UEFA next year???

 

[TexinID]

For $79MM, he'd probably be ok with playing in the Sunday beer league

 

[Denmark]

Both tournaments are run by UEFA. I believe the lower one is called the Euro League.

 

[Squall]

the title Europa League was started in 2009

but yes, they are both run by UEFA.

one is champions league and the other is just uefa

even torres might hit that one! well, maybe not

this will go down as one of the worst purchases in history. only good thing to come out is that drogba may actually play in mls next year. i can see the mls developing into the place that the old european stars go to die and maybe get second lease in life which would be great for mls. a lot of the older players still have great skills.

Torres has gone 14 hours of gametime without scoring.

Chicharito, who cost 1/7 as much, has scored 15 prem goals on 22 shots.

I don't think anyone can argue it was a head scratcher, I said it myself in my original post.

I fear Chelsea are becoming the Yankees...
over pay for the name even though they're past their prime.
