Why Torres??? Why 50m???

  • I'm not a Chelsea fan and not Torres either
  • But when Liverpool sold Torres for £50million to Chelsea, I began to wonder, what can he do to change Chelsea's fate?
  • With an amount of £50million i think Chelsea paid too much for Torres and even maybe other club such as Barcelona would 'not even consider' spending £50million on a player in the current financial climate, Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1354975/50m-Fernando-Torres-You-joking-say-Barcelona.html#ixzz1DQN3cy23. From my experience, with £50m (which would an equivalent to RM250m) we could start a factory making Fibre Board in Malaysia with an annual gross profit of 1 million per year. That's how much it would mean to me!
  • It is known that Chelsea made a bid for Torres during the summer but the striker was told that he would not be able to depart with the club undergoing a sales process. The price quoted for his transfer was so high as to be simply a symbolic "not for sale" sign.
  • According to Guardian newspaper, Torres sought assurances that he would be able to depart in the future, should an acceptable bid be made and he consider a move necessary. Torres also wanted assurances over the future of the club when Liverpool were taken over by the new owners. Torres's camp believes that promises have been broken. Liverpool are not the club that Torres joined and the striker is pessimistic over the future and his patience has worn thin with the absence of investment or activity since the takeover.
  • However the biggest question of all is, could Torres bring success to Chelsea? and with the enormous amount of investment, would it justify the success and the success that Torres will bring to the club. Can they win BPL with Torres?
  • It's simply a waste buying players at that amount and probably it also can ruin peoples careers just like Real Madrid did to many of their "stars" which they bought previously.
  • Let's see how Torres could cope with the new challenges.
