He will act as a substitute for Messi while he is in jail.
Blasphemy!! Don't desecrate Lord Messi's name.. Still, buying Torres wouldn't be a good for Barcelona in the long term.

Torres isn't a long term choice.

Yeah, Barcelona definitely needs more forwards who can't score.

I'm against signing Torres because we should have other priorities but IF we get him, we all should wait and see what happens.
IMO Torres has still potential to be a great player. Maybe it all depends on the area where he lives, the satisfaction of his family etc... I don't know but I am sure that Torres would help us being on top if everyone treats him well and he can play his style of play without getting injured or boo'd by the fans..

I don't know about Torres, TBH.
He was absolutely superb at Liverpool, then went to Chelsea and wasn't good.
Did he lose pace (he cant have lost the skill/talent); was he played in the wrong position. Benitez said that Chelsea didn't play the way which would bring out the best in him. he did score 20 this season, but with Chelsea's lead-up play, and with Drogba gone and Torres the main man, it should have been more.
We should play hard-ball with Chelsea and take him on loan with a view to buying cheaply at end of next season. Chelsea will have Cavani (?), Lukaku back, and Ba; and they've just bought Schurrle, Torres will be surplus to requirements. They have that much money we might even not have to pay all his salary.
What if he could get back to his Liverpool form for Barca?

Yeah and furthermore, in Chelsea the scoring of goals is more widespread so the amount of 22 goals and 11 assists is decent for a player who is not in-form IMO.

I don't see him ever getting back to his Liverpool form.
He won't,be sure about it.He lost his old self and lost also his speed,one of his main abilities

Torres' finishing is on par with Alexis', now. There's really no need for more of that.

Could be an inspired loan but don't buy

His finishing is probably poorer, and his dribbling definitely is. If he is the CF we are looking for we might as well just keep Bojan.

Age old saying here guys: form is temporary, class is permanent.
All that is missing from his game is his old confidence. He has never been fully embraced at Chelsea, never had the players necessary around him for him to succeed and a lack of confidence can do wonders in hampering a player's game. It wasn't until they had creative midfielders like Mata and Hazard that his numbers started going up, plus the fact that he competed with Drogba, a player who's style of play fit perfectly for Chelsea (which is why they never should have bought Torres in the first place), for a majority of his time at Chelsea didn't make things any easier. Furthermore, he has La Liga experience and has played with half the team already with his time in the Spainish NT.
I think this is a much better fit than your guys realize and I could easily see him having a renaissance as a player here at Barca. He is 29 so we can expect 2-3 seasons of his top form, quite enough time for youngins like Dongou, Deulofeu etc. to develop enough to be ready for the first team. I blame his dip in form on Chelsea never understanding how to get the best out of him and him never being accepted by the fans due to his price. There was A LOT of pressure on his shoulders when he went to Chelsea and in some ways, he was always doomed to fail there.
I could see him and Dani Alves linking up very well next season and that way we have an actual #9 in the squad that can allow us to have more tactical options to play with. Again, his ability in the air is what I like in this move. I think a lot of you underestimate how many goals he scores from crosses coming into the box, exactly what we have been missing for ages. Plus 20 mil for a player who has scored in two consecutive Euro finals is a pretty damn good deal, regardless of his form for Chelsea.
If we keep Thiago, sign Inigo Martinez and get Torres, I think a lot of you will be pleasantly surprised how well we will do next season.
