    If you pass to your strikers, you would win games. The big Chelsea players (you know yourselves), they should be ashamed of themselves, trying to force out a top striker in their own team, just because of greed and selfishness plus wanting a long contract to stay on. Remember he who laugh last, laugh the best. Good stuff Torres, we are all behind you, good workrate. Excellent player !!!
