Yup.
Torres was already way out of form before we bought him where as cavani and Falcao have been on the form of their lives the past few seasons. Mario Gomez could also have been a good shout before he ended up at fiorentina.
Well the money you spend on Schurrle+Willian would most likely be enough for either Falcao and Cavani, so...
All Chelsea really had to do was a) buy a world class forward and b) recall the loanies. Maybe c) get good pivot player if feeling wild.
I can't even begin to comprehend how people in the club managed to **** it up and now you have 6 great attacking mids fighting for a spot behind 3 mediocre, overpaid, aging and injury prone strikers. Lol.
Edit:
Also, yeah. Torres wasn't a flop, he was just a dumb transfer.

He wasn't banging 2-3 goals every game but he certainly wasn't 'way out of form'.
Nowhere near his best form though which was the reason we bought him in the first place.
That certain Spanish man was not liked before he got the job. Imagine "King Kenny" taking over at Utd. The supporters are not too fond of him are they, hence why he was not backed by the majority, sometimes football is more than just results its about morals.

The Everton win under Rafa came before the really busy schedule for starters and if we beat Fulham tomorrow does that mean Jose has one up on Rafa as he drew that game 0-0 last season? No it doesn't crazy to compare results against the same sides in different seasons.
I don't really agree with that, we didn't need Willian/Schurrle and we were willing to pay what 30 million for Rooney so take that into count and we could have afforded one of Falcao or Cavani.
I believe he had just scored a hattrick against Wolves before he joined us but he certainly was already half of the player he used to be. Just have to face up to the fact that we signed a glued back together ornament and without having time to do a proper medical Liverpool were laughing at us.
Quoting a fictional story book..........
It wasn't a serious comment.
So Jose has come out and said Oscar is his number one choice to play in the "number 10 role" this season. Seeing alot of Chelsea fans giving stick about this and moaning it should be Mata but tbh I think it is the right choice as when both Oscar and mata are on the pitch I believe mata can do a better job on the wing than Oscar who was pretty ineffective last season on the wing whilst Juan was in the middle. Mata can still put in great performances out wide if I remember rightly didn't he play outside for us his first season and he was our best player just as he was playing in the middle last season.
The problem i have with Mata "wide" is that it isn't actually wide is it. We have very little natural width as it is so to put Mata wide would make us even more narrow. I personally think if and this is a big if Jose is here more than 2 seasons then Mata will be sold.
And both fullbacks Jose likes in Cole and Brana offer next to no width. Its made me think at times we would be better off with Bertrand and Azpi playing.
I really think we need someone challenging Cole for the left back position. In my opinion he has been pretty average for at least a year and a half now seems to get skinned so easily. Would like to see Bertrand given more of a chance.
