Torres

Will he perform next season? I hope so, but we have to retain drogba in case he does't and since Sturridge imo is still too young to carry that heavy burden on his own, or isn't he? Kalou, if he has a great pre season, is capable of keeping young Sturridge on the bench. Your thoughts...

I agree. Torres probably won't magically resume his best form next season, he certainly hasn't shown enough evidence he will. He's going to need time. Drogba would provide him that, ease the pressure off him

His legs have gone, I'm not wumming but the thing that set him apart was pace. That has gone !!

I have faith in Torres. But disappointed with manager being 'safe' Gus. I think we need a bright new manager with fresh ideas about a re-invigorated forward line. So in my thinking I would say thanks very much Drogs but now we're moving on. If Torres doesn't work we can, with a bit of imagination and courage dare to think about other options.

I fear Gus will continue to try getting more out of the same old stagers - unless we have a courageous assistant manager to push him. There are several candidates - Gullitt is now free, there's Zola, Di Matteo, Guardiola, VBoas, and I was a great fan of Vialli.

And on Kalou - great if he still wants to be valued as supersub, but definitely not ahead of Sturridge now. Sturridge has proved he is now the man.

well, imo if Torres doesn't perform then we should sell him about the same time we bought him, probably back to his old club, depends on how bad he is we could get as much as 10m fot him plus we'll save reduced wages

RCD Mallorca will take him off your hands for €1 million. Just think of the wages you'd save, eh?

Kalou has to be sold.

I seriously doubt whether Torres will justify the huge financial gamble Roman took on him

But I won't lose sleep over it - we'll just get someone else
