TORRES SPEAKS OUT ABOUT NOT PLAYING!

Fernando Torres doesn't often speak to the media but when he does we sit up and take notice. If you are a Chelsea fan reading this blog post, you will know that Torres hasn't started a game for Chelsea in weeks now and it must be frustrating.

Torres's future at our club was called into question last week with reports that he would be sold for £20m in January which was denied by AVB stating that he is not for sale!.

This morning, there are reports that Malaga in Spain are looking to put a bid of £30m together for him and AC Milan are looking at him as a potential loan deal after seemingly missing out on Carlos Tevez. Let me state on record, Torres will not be leaving.

Looking at the player himself, you'd imagine it must be hard being on the bench week in, week out but looking at the way Drogba played against Newcastle, Valencia and Manchester City, he could have no argument. However, when Drogba was awful against Wigan last Saturday and Torres was asked to go out and warm up, he was ignored and sat back on the bench as others were brought on instead. A mistake by AVB in my opinion.

It would be easy for Torres to come out and criticise the manager and to state how unhappy he his but I tell you something, credit to the man for what he has said to Spanish TV station Canal+ Liga. He said:

"I am going to try to be very humble and get back into the Chelsea starting line-up, My form has not been good but I am world and European champion and I deserve more respect.

It’s hard being on the bench but I respect the players who are playing. I’m going to support the team and get back in.

It’s true that [Spain head coach] Vicente del Bosque is worried about me and my form for Chelsea, It’s up to me to go back to being the striker I was before.

If I go back to how I was a few years ago, I will again play an important role in the Spanish national team."

Fernando Torres is pure class and WILL get his form back. As soon as he feels as though the team will play him in when he is in space, he will get back on the shoulder of the last defender and will score goals for fun again.

It's nice to hear a World and European Champion speaking of a determination to get back in the side and if it were me, I would start him tonight.

What better way to kick start his Chelsea career (again) by scoring the winner tonight!
