P45Mustang Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 being pedantic you could say that greaves wasn't "dropped" for the 66 final because that would have meant him being in the semi-final team, which he wasn't. going into the tournament however he was first choice up front and was fit when the final came around but not selected. so if you're going to split hairs he was at least 'left out'. imagine having no substitutes at all though. players today really don't have a scooby how easy they have got it. Being pedantic you can say what you like but Ramsey dropped him. He was the only player in the whole squad that didn't join in the celebrations. But he's philosophical now. I think the drink mellowed him. Chicog prefers the more negative version of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Atletico Madrid want Fernando Torres – but unwilling to meet Chelsea’s valuation of just £13m. http://metro.co.uk/2014/07/21/atletico-madrid-want-fernando-torres-but-unwilling-to-meet-chelseas-valuation-of-just-13m-4804912/ At 13 million you'd think clubs would be lining up to buy 50 mil man. Just shows you how overvalued they must think he is. Maybe in the range of 7 million might see a few nibblers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows you how overvalued they must think he is. Maybe in the range of 7 million might see a few nibblers. still a bit of a mad fee in a market where you can get loic remy for £8.5m. in fact any fee for torres is a bit of a joke really. he's washed up. like shevchenko was after the dudek save. head gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says that we are short of strikers but I think we have enough options till Negredo gets back. Might even see Guidetti get a run out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
