You guys should watch his documentary if you haven't already, eye opening although predictable what his mentality is.

 
Have you got a link for that?

I was looking at the poll thinking who are all these dickheads still voting much after....

Damn. I can remember the day we signed Torres very clearly, it was the most excited I’ve ever been about a signing and well, he turned out to be sh*t. I really think he was one of the greatest strikers to exist, we just never saw that version of Torres here.

Link for the doc? It's on Amazon Prime:

Feel like everyone will like him much less after watching it, for the most part he's a whiner and doesn't take any personal responsibility.

I got to that point while he was here, i don't need a documentary to know that guy's a brat, it was clear in his body language and interviews (reading between the lines) from day dot. There was even one where he unbelievably used the infamous lack of service excuse himself!

He wasn't as good as made out in his prime either, his Spanish colleague David Villa was head and shoulders above him.

Cheers for that, watched it during the night. A couple of things I took from it, one of which, is that most managers in his later career, other than Rafa, lost a lot of faith in him. I didn’t see anything on it referring to Carlo at all though.

Maybe he respected Carlo enough not to 'name and shame' him, but pretty much blamed his whole career post Liverpool on either the club or manager. It was strange watching Simeone having agreed to take part in the doc, be diplomatic and then Torres being pretty scathing on him in the next scene.

All in all I think Torres was pretty honest for the most part, he just can't being himself to acknowledge that post injury he wasn't the same player anymore.

 
There is a thing on Skysports called ‘premier league legends’ or something featuring yes Legends, on it Torres 90% at liverpool

You watch it and remember why Roman became obsessed, he was f**king awesome, lost his pace and power, and looked like he never trusted himself again, odd sparks, but it’s a great watch if you just love football

Can't recall many Premier league moments when Torres could be described as awesome in a Chelsea shirt. Certainly didn't display much pace or power. He did look phenomenal for a couple of years with the Dippers, but it is clear that he was past his relatively brief peak when RA splurged out on him (and not on Aguero Grrrrrrrrr).

I never said he was awesome for us, his time at Liverpool was though, check my punctuation.

Never said you did. I was just pointing out that a highlight reel of Torres's Premiership years would be unlikely to include much footage of his Chelsea years, as they were mostly a massive let-down.

He had one against a lower table side where he toe poked the ball to the top corner.
