      Love seeing it go so sh*t for him. Serves him right for thinking he could use us a stepping stone to go onto bigger and better things.

      There's absolutely nothing left of El Nino.

      I wonder if there is a footie Space Jam going on, that can be the only sane reason left as to why he has gone so sh*te!

      Kaka was a sensational player in his first stint at AC Milan. Runner up in 2005 and winner of CL in 2007, he was at the heart of the last good Milan side. A really superb player. To say he's a flop just shows you're either a troll or utterly clueless. I suspect it's the latter.

      Wow, have I just read this complete garbage? You even said it yourself - "first stint at Milan". What did you think I was referring to when I labelled him a flop? Did you happen to think I was referring to this "first stint" of his? Or maybe did it occur to you that I may have referred to his Real Madrid days where he failed miserably to live up to his £56m price tag? There is no doubt that he was one of the biggest transfer flops in the history of the sport.

      And then you have the audacity to label me clueless? There is nothing worse than being arrogant and wrong, and this strongly applies to you.

      Mate, I think Kaka was out of favour most of the time he was at Madrid, I might be just be being ignorant and not know stats to back it up, but I thought he never lost his talent just never got to play consistently in his favourite role.

      Unlike Torres who time and time again has played up front with no rewards for it because he is sh*t and a flop.

      Torres plays different at Chelsea to how he did at Liverpool. Our system under Benitez was tailor made for him, in the same way that AC Milan's system under Ancelotti was perfect for Kaka at the time. Both players moved on to seemingly further their careers, were not given the same amount of freedom and as a result looked a shadow of their former selves. If this isn't flopping, then I don't know what is.

      I saw Kaka for Real Madrid numerous of times. He couldn't fit in there; he couldn't excel there. If anything, at times, he was God Damn awful there.

      So now the Chavs will have to pay rent boy £16 million just to f*ck off. If they pay off the last 2 years of his remaining contract at £150k per week all in all he will have cost the Chavs in the region of £94 million  :lmao:

      I'd have him back for the right money (about 10 mill with them paying 2/3 of his wages). Seriously, I would.


      I'd rather bring back Veronin, cos he wouldn't get a game either,

      F**k nando he made his bed and all that, thought the grass was greener down the kings Road, as it turned out only one swallow made his summer, and now, the autumn of his career has arrived he nurses the splinters on his f***in arse,

      Like that other judas kunt Owen I'll remember the goals he scored as a red, everything else has paled into insignificance.

      I don't give a monkey's F**k what he does now !

      One of the players we signed this summer was signed on a two year loan ;D.

      Torres' decline is the biggest decline I've ever seen from a footballer (Kaka comes close)

      Tevez? Manquillo?


      Two year loan for a £50mill striker on 170k a week is an embarrassment for both him and the Chavs. His contract expires in two years doesn't it? So they wont even be able to sell him, they will be loaning him out for the final two years whilst probably still paying a chunk of his wages and then losing him without getting a single penny back for him  :lmao:

      I agree with everyone who despises him but we all remember just how good he was. We   had the best centre forward in the world by a mile for 2 seasons and I like to remember him in  that way. I just cant think of him in a  Chelsea shirt

      Would love to have taken him back on loan, but his personality would of been overpowered by Studge and Mario and he would have been just as sh*t.

      Some of us don't define footballing history merely in terms of transfer fees. Make yourself more clear.

      Couldn't give a sh*t what Torres does these days. As brilliant as he was for us, he's nothing but a footnote in our history. Decided to put us up sh*t creek so late in the day that January a few years ago made all the worse by moving to Chelsea where's he's been a money grabbing joke ever since. Given their poor position these days, I still think AC Milan can do better than that.
