WILL TORRES FIND HIS MARK WITH CHELSEA?

His £40 million transfer last January 27 was the biggest transaction in the English Premier League this past season. Too much hype clouded the transfer of Spanish striker Fernando Torres from his original EPL club Liverpool to the Roman Abramovich-owned Chelsea FC. But not a few were disappointed on Torres initial campaign with the Blues as he finished the season with only a goal to show in 14 games with the Stamford Bridge outfit. His lone goal was scored during Chelsea’s 3-0 annihilation of West Ham United last April 23. He ended the season with a total of ten goals as the other nine were scored during his stint with Liverpool for the first 23 outings. Torres has career club total of 173 goals in 409 appearances with Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea. In international play, Torres accounted for 26 goals in 29 total appearances with the powerful Spanish national team. Torres, 27, needs to assert himself in the Chelsea rotation and his teammates and coaching staff can help him or else, he will go down in Chelsea’s history as the biggest bust ever, according to Chelsea Daft.

“Chelsea need to wake up to Torres, Carlo Ancelotti needs to wake up to him and the players need to start playing to Torres's strengths because if we don't it the biggest waste of a player and of a talent at our club ever.”
