Chelsea crisis: Blues player attacks Torres

Bony is considered to be Dutch football's hottest property

Wilfried Bony. (GETTY)

Life at Stamford Bridge can't get any better or worse for the misfiring Fernando Torres who triggered a storm for the wrong reasons last week.

Not for scoring a spectacular but for being sent off after a second bookable offence against Manchester United although referee Mark Clattenburg was widely criticised for judging that he had dived after being tripped by Jonny Evans.

Nine-man Chelsea suffered a 3-2 defeat as a result and when he returned for the League clash against Swansea after missing the return against Manchester United which the Blues won, they were spared the blushes by a Victor Moses strike with Torres being a mere spectator.

One of Chelsea's fringe players has urged the club to dump Torres and move for Wilfried Bony, considered to be Dutch football's hottest property, according to the Daily Mail (http://bit.ly/VNNwGH).

Unlike Torres, Vitesse forward Bony bagged both goals as they beat defending Eredivisie champions Ajax in Amsterdam.

So much so that he has drawn comparisons with former Chelsea star Didier Drogba.

Tomas Kalas, who is on loan at Vitesse Arnhem from Stamford Bridge, claims his parent club should move for the Ivorian if they are looking for a more reliable man to lead the line.

Speaking to Goal.com, the 19-year-old Czech, said: "Chelsea need a player like Wilifried Bony at the moment. Torres is always moving and works hard, but he is not strong enough to lead the line. I'm sorry for Torres, but that's my personal opinion.

"Bony has so much quality. It's incredible how strong he is and he's excellent on the ball, too. I can understand why he has been linked with Chelsea and other clubs.

"It will be impossible for Vitesse to hold on to him if he keeps this up. Perhaps we'll play together at Chelsea in the future. That would be great.

"We haven't spoken about a transfer yet, but it would be nice to play alongside him at Stamford Bridge in a while."

Earlier, Swansea defender Garry Monk branded Chelsea's £50 million man overpriced.

    I believe Torres is a stricker but not right man chelsea.i dont think Rafa's mission in chelsea is to build the club rather to help bury chelsea that the owner itself has killed by sacking Di matheow.

    Torres is not d only striker dat has com 2 Chelsea and failed. Remember Kezman, Crespo, Shevchenko. Drogba is d only successful striker in chelc. Will Falcao b succesful?
  • Ibrahim Damasuno Saidu 7 November 2012 19:59 0 1
    We only need Falcao and Remy to the squad and keep torres he soon shine.

    Chelsea used the highlight of the goals torres score against them when he was in liverpool and paid 50m. And chelsea even forgot to collect its manual from liverpool.

    Torres is not doing his job, for a striker to take 20 shots in 10 full games that's poor, if you don't shoot you can't score.

    Let give Torres more time while Facao comes blue for life.
  • thony 7 November 2012 11:39 4 1
    The best thing for torres to do is either to go back to liverpool or AM,as for chelsea we need a hungry striker like falcao or llorente
  • Wellington Wasosa 7 November 2012 11:27 0 4
    Torres should be kept tuill the end of the season but Chelsea should go ahead and bring Falcao to the brdge
  • oladele dada 7 November 2012 11:19 1 2

    I still want torres to be arund in d team but honestly,we need a gud centre forward lyk falcao,while torres must be benched to allow his self centred mind to be trained by anoda player who realy loves to score and make d tram happy

  • chinedu 6 November 2012 19:28 5 2
    no need of torres to stay at stanford we don't need him chelsea should swap torres for falcao
  • olarmike 6 November 2012 19:23 4 3
    It's not a crime to have more than 1 striker. Let Torres stay and sign another striker, it doesn't mean Falcao. So Torres will have competitor but if he doesn't improve before the season ends then offload him.

    Falcoa is a very good player but he is very expensive, i will be happy if Chelsea will finally get him. but in my own opinion i will prefer Chelsea to go and get Andre Shurrle of Liverckusen the guy has all it takes to destroy Defenders. or we Go for the Bonny who the Dutch people called perfect finisher. as for Torres. He has nothing left with him liverpool people sees that he is gone before selling him over to us. all we have to do is to trade him with Falcoa or with another hot finisher
  • Sadam 6 November 2012 17:47 3 2
    Let torres stay at chelsea and let falcao go
  • okari 6 November 2012 16:58 2 3
    4 in 9 isn't too bad. torres will return to his lethal form. however, chelsea needs someone to compete with him. it was a bad idea to have him as the only striker in the team.
  • Simplino 6 November 2012 16:34 2 3
    Torres is not good for chelsea, we should swap him for falcao. Torres has lost confidence... Torres is minus one in the team..
  • more blessing 6 November 2012 14:58 2 3
    Torres has said it before he doesn't play for the club but he plays for the money, we don't need such players, we need players who can carry club on their shoulders. I think Falcao is the answer.

    you should sign falcao
