The previous seasons form isn't the sole factor clubs take into account when dealing with transfers you know. Remember this is Fernando Torres. 30M+ makes perfect sense hopefully we can use Giovinco.

30m+ million makes perfect sense for a player who been outscored by defenders for the last two years? Which clubs are going to line up in bidding war for him? Thats only reason a 30m+ tag would be reasonable, but how he has been performing, he should be lucky if a top team wants to loan him.

This!

Add to that, that he earns more than ten million euros a year.

So far this rumour seems as unlikely as Van Persie, Cavani, Higuain and Dzeko.

If it's a Marotta style, loan with an option to buy, I won't mind him being our star player. I doubt Chelsea will let him go though.

30m is too much, 25m at the absolute most, he's been shit for two years, but he could regain some of his past form, with could being the important word.

One of the best strikers in the world for a number of years now looking as though he might recapture that form. I don't agree with the price, I'm not sure I even want him at Juve but I'm not surprised by it considering the player and the circumstances.

How about two years of his form being poor then (6 league goals in ~50 appearances for Chelsea)? Including the fact he's been playing through injuries part of the time. And his huge salary among the top few in the world.

I see this is the player that Romeo was talking about then, as expected with Nick frantically posting about him.

Will Juventus give him the space to run into, which made him so effective for Liverpool? Suppose that could work with Pirlo teeing him up, but often we've had opposition sitting deep against us.

Edit: Just seen your other post, 30m for a player in great form I would accept. 30m for a gamble on someone looking so distant from his former self, I would not.

Maybe his high transfer fee has something to do with the golden handshake he will surely get from Chelsea?
He isn't coming here on more than 6.5m/y euros without taxes and there he has 10.4m GBP(12.89m Euros) yearly.
If he has 3 years on his contract thats (3x(12.89-6.5)) more 20m euros without taxes from salaries alone.

IMO he's way too risky to buy and I hope the deal falls through. I don't think he will have the space. We're not a counter-attacking team, and clubs will sit back against us more often than not. We need someone more clinical in the air. But like I said, he's Fernando Torres and freak, inexplicable losses of form are usually over-looked considering how good he has been previously. 30M isn't a surprising estimation.

One of his major attributes is his pace and getting in behind defenders, if he cant use that, when teams are sitting deep against us, what good is he to us?

You guys are overthinking it. Spain don't play counter-attacking football yet Torres got no problem finding space in opposition box. If anything that should be a concern for Cavani looking at napoli's style of play but truth of matter is playersof this caliber will adapt as they're not limited,unless you play them completely out of position.
