Fernando Torres, Chelsea
When a club pays £50 million for your services, you’d better make sure that you’re up to delivering the goods.
Many expected Torres’ move to Chelsea in 2011 to be the making of him, and taking the step up to being hailed as one of the best strikers the game has ever seen.
He had it all, the pace, vision, strength, movement and finishing ability, but he looks like a shell of the player that lit up Merseyside for four years.
Sadly, it’s become quite clear that he’s not going to recapture that form in West London. He’s now played 118 games for Chelsea in all competitions and has managed to find the net just 28 times. He is currently enjoying his most successful season in goalscoring terms for Chelsea, bagging seven in 29 matches.
It’s been suggested for a while that a return to Spain could see him retain a shred of the credibility that his career had been built on up until his move, and with Radamel Falcao reportedly heading to the Blues in the summer then a return home may not be out of the question.
