Fernando Torres has cast serious doubt over whether his long-term future lies at Chelsea after calling for clear-the-air talks with the club's hierarchy over what his role will be next season.
In a surprisingly candid interview with Guillem Balague a disgruntled Torres has wasted little time in expressing his disappointment at missing out on a starting place in the Chelsea side that claimed the UEFA Champions League on Saturday evening in Munich, going on to claim for much of his time in West London he has felt 'lost' and may even have 'given up' were it not for the support he has received from those close to him.
Can also see his disappointment in this vid:

Yeah he one two medals and got what he wanted but clearly he doesn't look like he's achieved much as he was always on the bench this season. RDM couldn't even trust him to be one of the 5 penalty takers, sums it up really
Yeah and he looks really happy here:

So your point is??
I do agree he needs to be the main striker to be happy. This whole set up of Torres being the striker in regular games but Drogba being a striker for big games is unfair for Torres. Even if he gets some sort of form he'll know that he won't play in any big games.
It's time to let Drogba go out on a high and let Torres know he's the future. If Chelsea do keep Drogba though I think Torres will leave.
well, torres has hit some form in his last few games
im hoping for a drogba & torres duo up front, assuming drogba stays
i agree he needs to start games but he also needs to be consistent
I think his time at Chelsea has shown that he is a very specific type of player that likes to be a lone striker off the shoulder of the last man, he thrived on that kind of play at Liverpool (we didn't have much choice to play any other way with no wingers and one credible striker). He is talented granted a bit delusional (needs to take responsibility on himself) and needs to either adapt or for Chelsea to play around him. It's quite obvious which one needs/will ever happen.
I think torres will come good once drogba goes, his confidence has suffered as drogba has been the main eventer so to speak. He's said it himself http://www1.skysports.com/f...
