Fernando Torres Scores For Chelsea (Finally) – Video

www.hastorresscoredforchelsea.com

Phew, what a relief after two months of waiting , the most expensive player in English football has finally scored for Chelsea.

Since signing opposition fans, the media and anyone who does not fit the description of a Chelsea fan has been revelling in the misfortunes of the striker as he desperately tried to break his duck.

Despite this and the obvious frustration of him misfiring Chelsea fans have continously showed their support to the striker urging him on at every opportunity which was helped by the determination and general level of commitment shown by the striker.

Earlier this week Carlo Ancelotti said that a goal would be the best medicine for Torres and I have to agree and hope that we will now see a goal scoring run.

Theres not really much more to say below is a video, but you may want to turn the sound off!

Chelsea 2011 Transfer Coup – Torres and Luiz Sign

There are two new player in blue

Well it has been a nervous 24 hours or so as the liklihood of both deals were both off and back on again but it is official.

Chelsea have signed Fernando Torres and David Luiz in the January 2011 transfer window, in what has been the most exciting transfer window for Chelsea fans since the 2004 close season when Abramovich first opened his wallet.

So what do you think of our transfer activity in this window? Have we overpaid and does it matter?

Transfer Window Summary

In

Fernando Torres (Liverpool) – £50m

David Luiz (Benfica) - £21m + Nemanja Matic

Both players will be available for this weekend’s fixture which in poetic justice is against Liverpool no less should be some good territory to wind up the Scousers at the Bridge on Sunday!

Out

Jacob Mellis (Barnsley) – Loan

Daniel Sturridge (Bolton) – Loan

A note on Daniel Sturridge’s loan a good move for all I think do you agree?

A Striking Dilemma

Is Fabio Borini the Future of Chelsea's frontline?

As the media keeps reporting Chelsea are tracking various high profile strikers, we can only hope that one of these rumours might be true. Torres, Suarez and Aguero have already proved themselves on the international stage and would be great strikepartners to Didier Drogba.

Sergio Aguero has made it known that he would like to play at Chelsea along side the likes of John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba. Furthermore, he mentioned that he would like to link up with Fernando Torres at Chelsea. The Argentinian who is married to Diego Maradona’s daughter has great goal scoring ability.

Torres is well known to Chelsea fans, the fastest man to reach to 50 Premier League goals, he also holds the record for scoring the most goals scored by an overseas player during their debut Premier League season. With Torres hungry for Champions League Football, I hope that he will make the easy choice and choose Chelsea over Liverpool.

Luis Suarez scored 49 goals last season for Ajax and contributed to Uruguay’s dream run to the semi-finals in the 2010 World Cup. Suarez has played a supporting striker throughout his career for the likes of Diego Forlan, Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Marko Pantelic. A potential partnership with Didier Drogba could gift Chelsea Football Club another record breaking goal tally next season.

Looking at less established strikers Romelu Lukaku is probably Europe’s most sought after youngster. A Chelsea fan, he was recently pictured wearing the new Chelsea home kit at Stamford Bridge. The Belgian 17-year old already has 2 caps for Belgium and will give anything to join Didier Drogba at Chelsea.

The real question to ask ourselves is that is it necessary to sign another striker? Especially when we have Daniel Sturridge and Fabio Borini already at the club, there are also others such as young Jacopo Sala desperate for a chance to shine?

Therefore do we need to spend money to make more of a crowd in the striking department? Daniel Sturridge who could be England’s future, should be given a chance in the first team after managing 5 goals in his first season at the club from limited appearances.

The question I put to you and the club is, who should be preffered, should we favour Torres or Suarez over Sturridge and Borini?
