Welcome To Stamford Bridge

I'd take Torres at Arsenal, he may not be scoring but i certainly don't believe his career is as good as finished. All he needs is someone to put an arm around him and give him a bit of confidence, rather than slate every single thing he does on the pitch.

Given how Arsenal fans are abusing Gervinho and Ramsey, I cannot imagine how that would go for his 'confidence'

He's approaching 30, has a big ego and is on astronomical wages. No thanks.

I don't think he has an ego at all anymore, which is half the problem.

He made a stink about not starting in the Champions League final and not being assigned to take a penalty, and doesn't seem like someone who's a team player and would be happy to sit on the bench. There's just far too much baggage with Torres and given the money we'd have to spend to sign him, it's just not worth the risk.

Frank Lampard signs a one-year extension to his Chelsea contract.

'I'm absolutely delighted," says Lampard. "Everybody knows I always maintained the dream was to stay at Chelsea. We've been talking for ages and even though it went on for quite a period it was always amicable.

'I want to thank Mr Abramovich for everything he's done in making the dream a reality. I love this club, the staff, the players and especially the supporters, who have treated me fantastically since the day I arrived. The thought of helping the club to more success in the forthcoming years is all I ever wanted. I couldn't be happier."

Mike Phelan and Eric Steele have been sacked so it looks like Steve Round and Chris Woods might be on their way to Utd with Moyes.

Extremely relevant that

Drogba's first 100 matches for Chelsea, 41 goals.
Torres' first 100 matches for Chelsea, 39 goals. Why all the criticism?

Drogba had his spells of being pretty shit tbf.

Torres seems to score mostly absolutely pointless goals as well.

"I have a team but no striker," said Mourinho. "The problem at Chelsea is that we are lacking a goalscorer. I have one [Samuel Eto'o] but he is 32, possibly 35, who knows?"
