Alternative to Drogba,yes.
The thing is it's easy to just say he is mentaly week, when no one blames chelsea staff in their failure of utilizing both drogba and him, and now a 50 mil striker is getting a bench role or has to play wide with drogba in eventhough they both like to roam in center and have all the space for themselves.
we don't even consider what kinda pressure a player go through in different circumstances. just look at the stats.
or all of sudden he's lost his sense of positioning as if we're talking about Caceres who's been always like that all his career and just started to learn.
A lot of people haven't hesitated in banding around the "world class" tag with Torres, so he's got to be blamed? I've already point out he's starting as the Chelsea centre forward which is his preferred role, so I don't know how he's being coached incorrectly. Ancelotti and Villas Boas should know what he's all about and what he is able to do, and the same goes for Drogba. They can't be telling him to play without making his Liverpool movement, or asking him to go into wider positions. You'd obviously want to play to suit someone that has proved he's a great goal scorer in the division.
Regarding him mentally, it's not even an issue since he joined Chelsea. It's been an issue for nearly 2 years since he picked up the injury before the World Cup, and played through that with some poor performances for Spain. But some of these big misses he's had are quite shocking, confidence has to be a big part of it. I mean, 24 hours since his last goal is stupid.
It's not a case of disliking Torres, it's a case of disliking all these factors that go into the magnitude of the risk Juventus would take with purchasing him. I haven't even mentioned the ridiculous money he's on, which is something Juve simply cannot afford at the moment. It's more than double what Amauri was receiving, and we all know people didn't hesitate to complain at that every year, seeing a significant pay cut would be unlikely (and idealistic). I don't know why it seems ridiculous to some (not blaming you for this) to have major doubts of someone playing as such a shadow of his former self, who will be still remain pricey.
Anyway, the future of these three players interests me the most this summer: Van Persie, HiguaÃn, Džeko
