FJB Torres for ever {ed's note - top four, it is too late to get the title now I think, but the lowest I can see Chelsea finishing is 4th. Though I would think 3rd is the most likely.}

Torres is always in the treatment room these days, it's a far cry from 2007 when his pace and finishing was too much for defenders across Europe. The 2008-09 season saw Torres pick up a number of niggling injuries mainly groin strains and quite frequent hamstring injuries which resulted in surgery. The latter half of last season saw Torres troubled by hernia and knee problems, which affected his performance during the World Cup as well. Two attempts at knee surgery to fix this one in January and then again in April couldn’t have helped. Following that it was another groin injury, thigh strain and ankle problems. I remember Ancelotti telling Chelsea's official website: "I don't think we need other strikers like Torres- nothing has changed because in the next days come back Drogba, Anelka and Kalou and we have Daniel Sturridge."
I think we have taken a huge risk buying this injury prone striker, its a shame that his strength lies in bursts of speed and hamstring heavy activity. I don't think it will get any better for him, as his body is constantly rocked by serious muscle injuries, mentally he will hold back more and more.
