Wouldn't be suprised if the Chav's tried to offload him this winter...
Always rated the lad...

Hes a bit shit now but still better than what we have
Oh yeah, I can see Wenger spending 20+million on Torres in January, definitely.
Hell yes, he must still have the ability so if he's available for a decent price we should take a chance.
On his day he is one of the very best.
But he hasn't had his day for like 2 years now.
In his defence at least, Liverpool's decline and his injury problems contributed to his career tailing off there. As for his current stint at Chelsea, he was nothing more than a vanity signing from Uncle Roman. He wasn't needed but Ancelotti had to find a way of fitting him in because of the price tag, and he couldn't do that because they already had a settled system with Drogba up top.
The fact AVB is playing Sturridge and signed Lukaku as well means he's probably not at the top of his priority list either.
I don't believe a player can just lose class and ability at the flick of the switch. It's all about being in the right environment for him personally and obviously Chelsea is not it.
It's a nice thought that we could swoop in and rescue him, so he could rekindle his form with us, but Chelsea wouldn't sell him to us and they'd want to recoup a lot of that 50m which we wouldn't pay anyway.
He's most likely to go home to Atletico if he does leave Chelsea IMO.

how much would we get him for?
would be less than the 50mil he went to the Chavs for as he is damaged goods and would be worth a punt to answer your question, would also force us to play two up front
but we would have to spend more than what we have left over from Cesc/Nas deals and would have to say goodbye to any Hazard/M'Vila dreams
got a few brass buttons I could offer
No less than 30m imo, maybe 35 if we threw in Squillaci as well, that's if Chelsea would be willing to sell to us as there'd be a few other teams happy to take him for that money, PSG spring to mind.
yeah Chavs would make sure we coughed up everything they thought we had left and TBH cant see Torres coming to us, I dont think we are a step up interms of creativity than were he is now but it could work, with Jack back and two decent wingers and you never know Stan may cough up some money in Jan.......however we just run the risk of having to go through one player again and that one day he will go knocking on the manager's door looking for move back home.
What? with his coke habit? not bloody likely...
*may not be true.
