Torres didn’t become bad overnight he had injuries and lost a yard of pace at Liverpool and they sold him at the right time. He lost all his confidence at Chelsea and he looked worse than he was. But he was in decline and then the confidence went plus injuries and that was him done. It’s Sanchez all over I knew he wouldn’t be great here but even he was worse than I thought
Torres announces his retirement
- Thread starter FootyGirl88
- Start date
So he is going to be a target man with his back to goal ? Surely he will be in MLS or China no way he will be good enough for Europe
It's almost certainly going to be another shit promo thing about an e-sports team or some video game link up.
All the other tweets on his account are sponsorship and branding related. They pulled a similar trick a few months ago when 'announcing' that he was the going to be the 'global ambassdor' for some trash freemium football game that has literally 382 followers on Twitter and less than 1,000 worldwide downloads.

I think Torres is a smart man. He knows that he will never be as fast as he was in his twenties. He has the height to be a target man, and heading, in his prime, was one of the best parts of his game.
I could absolutely see him doing that. Although typically, his game has never been that of a target man, as he used to move alot.
Wonder how he would do in a MLS team. I'm assuming if he really comes back, it wouldn't be to one of europe top leagues and he has already played in Japan.
Possible. Sucks to get excited haha.
Aye. That’ll be it.
Has to be MLS or China doesn’t it ? Yeah he is smart and he has bulked up so much so he is obviously training everyday so hopefully he is match fit quick
He always struck me as someone who was so outrageously physically talented that the game always came easy for him. People focus on his pace but his strength, ability to leap, and ability to kick the absolute piss out of a football were also ridiculous during his prime - once he lost the physical edge he had on just about everyone and had to compete on the basis of technical quality, he fell off a cliff.
Can't fault him too much for giving his all for his country but surely in retrospect he'd have gone about his career choices differently.
I thought he was going to WWE, that is not a joke I am sure I read that somewhere.
hahaha qualityMadlads FC 5 a side I've heard.
I wonder why he didn't bulk up like that while he was still actively playing
Great player at Liverpool, thought he is going to be best center forward in the world for a while, but his peak doesn’t last long. Also, he is probably the first high profile player I’ve ever seen who actually freaks out and refuse to take penalty in big shootout as he is too scared.

Who did he refuse to take a pen for in a big shootout? Was it for Spain?
I remember him refusing to take a pen against someone in the league because he didn't want to break his goalscoring duck with a pen.
I can’t remember exactly whether is in CL or FA cup. He refuse to take it due to his confidence issue.
Part of that annoying myth that he "always" destroyed Vidic, when in reality it was 3 games out of about 15 or so, and Vidic was comfortable for the rest.
Bellamy was the one that had vidic on toast every time. Didn't nutmeg him in a 1-4 victory though.
Reckon he goes to Inter Miami or maybe Slippy G talks him into playing in Scotland
