You know what, just like Smalls, I think he will eventually get back to scoring form. Some people would call me crazy for saying this but I'd take a punt. 20m could do it right now. I think he needs change of scenery and when he hits the form again, he could be as deadly as ever.

The phantom ' work rate ' with which everbody of the Ray Wilkins ilk was crediting him, only happened when he felt like it. Sure, when the ball happened to coincide with his position, he showed some nice touches (and pathetic dives). His overall performance had the same half arsed nature as the worst of Dzeko on a bad day.
I was watching him closely off the ball, & there were many occasions when it was obvious that the Chelsea defence were going to attempt a clearence, & to which area the ball would be going. Two City defenders would jog into that area & collect the ball unchallenged whilst Torres stood scratching his arse. I was discussing with a mate how, if he was wearing a City shirt, we would feel like going on the pitch & kicking his head in. For someone supposedly trying to prove a point, it was appalling.
I do think he may get back his scoring touch at another club, but please not at ours.
