‘Blast from the past’ Ruud Gullit has made his thoughts about Fernando Torres known.
Torres doesn’t half know how to keep himself the topic of our conversations.. Although admittedly for all the wrong reasons.
The former Blues manager Ruud Gullit has been talking to Andre Villa-Boas about his dainty Spanish forward, Fernando Torres. The Daily Star reveals that Gullit ‘urged’ the current Chelsea boss to ‘axe Torres’ upon the return next week of Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou from the African Nations Cup.
When purchased for a record breaking £50million from Liverpool, the hopes of both Abramovich and Villa-Boas was that Torres would increase the influx of goals bagged already by Drogba and Anelka. Unfortunately for any Chelsea fan however, what followed was disappointment after disappointment whenever the ‘El Nino’ played.
The angst was visible from Boas on the sidelines, and I’m sure Abramovich was livid, admittedly most probably getting pampered on his enormous yacht..
Gullit makes the point,
“It’s a difficult situation also for the rest of the players because I think that they all like Torres, they all want him to score”
“But if he doesn’t, what does it do to the result? What does it do to the morale of the rest of the players?”
This thought must be on the mind of all Chelsea fans, but the thought that is on everyone’s mind, is maybe a move from the club and to Europe would end Torres’ nightmare at English football.
