Torres not for sale!
Though it has been suggested that Fernando Torres was for sale during the January transfer window, manager Andre Villas Boas has said that the striker is not for sale at any price. That he plays a role in Chelsea future.

Torres for sale!
Chelsea are expected to sell Torres for around £20 million. A huge loss on what they bought him for last year.

ESPN STAR: Chelsea ready to sell Torres
Chelsea's patience with misfiring £50million forward Fernando Torres appears to have snapped with the club willing to listen to offers for him in the January transfer window.
The former Liverpool darling, who moved to Stamford Bridge in acrimonious circumstances just eleven months ago, has registered a paltry three league goals for the Blues thus far.
According to a report from The Daily Mail, Chelsea were prepared to allow Torres to depart on loan to rebuild his confidence but it is believed that the club is now ready to offload the striker altogether.
The Stamford Bridge outfit however will have to swallow a gigantic financial loss on a player whom they splashed a whopping £50million for, making him the most expensive footballer in Britain.
Chelsea are prepared to do business with any side that offers around £20m for Torres and match his whopping £150,000-a-week salary.
New Chelsea tactician Andre Villas-Boas arrived in London in the summer determined to cajole the Torres of old that made the forward one of the most scintillating and potent attacking threats in the world.
The signing of Juan Mata from Valencia was even designed to coax the best out of Torres but the former Kop idol has failed to forge any sort of understanding with his compatriot.
Having been patient with the forward as he struggled to come to terms with the backlash and stigma from Liverpool fans following his defection from Merseyside, Chelsea are now sounding out continental sides in the hope of getting Torres of their books.
In fact, the bungling Spaniard has now been firmly displaced from the starting eleven and is struggling behind veteran Didier Drogba and Daniel Sturridge in the pecking order.
Torres was unsurprisingly an unused substitute in Chelsea's 2-1 triumph against Manchester City on Monday night and did not partake in the celebrations that ensued between the Blues' substitutes and coaching staff following Frank Lampard's winner against the Citizens.
While Torres enjoys a good rapport with the Chelsea faithful, he has miserably failed to live up to his hefty price tag and reputation.
However, it seemed as though the Spaniard turned the corner when he struck a beautiful effort against United at Old Trafford in September, but the former Liverpool front man needlessly got himself sent off against new boys Swansea in Chelsea's next encounter.
Torres initially went through a 13 match goal drought when he jumped ship to the Blues, before finally opening his Chelsea account in their 3-0 win over West Ham on April 23.
He then went underwent another nine match goalless streak before hitting the target against the Red Devils on September 18.
Torres has fared no better this season, having only found the back of the net a disappointing four times, despite having started 11 games.

Chelsea win at home vs Man City
By Michael Wade
Manchester City’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season came crashing to a halt as Chelsea came from behind to beat them 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.
Frank Lampard’s penalty ten minutes from time claimed all three points for the Blues and wrestled them back into contention at the top of the league table, while underlining his own importance to the club.
Veteran midfielder Lampard has been unable to hold down a regular starting spot under new Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas, and started the game on the bench, but after keeping his cool to snatch three points from the league leaders he will surely improve his chances of a run in the side.
Chelsea got off to the worst possible start when they fell behind to a Mario Balotelli goal after less than two minutes.
And it could have been even worse as City went for the kill with Sergio Aguero shooting narrowly wide and the visitors unlucky not to earn a penalty when David Silva was tripped in the box by Jose Bosingwa.
But a close-range effort from Raul Meireles dragged Chelsea back into the game when he hammered Daniel Sturridge’s cross past Joe Hart in the 33rd minute.
The pendulum swung in the second-half and things took a turn for the worse for Roberto Mancini’s men when Gael Clichy received a second yellow card after bringing down Ramires just before the hour mark.
And although Chelsea relentlessly piled forward in search of the winner they could not find it, with Mancini introducing defenders Kolo Toure and Nigel De Jong at the expense of Aguero and Silva.
As they gambled for a victory Villas-Boas’ decision to introduce Lampard paid off as Joleon Lescott handballed Sturridge’s shot giving Chelsea a penalty in the 82nd minute.
The England midfielder coolly dispatched his spot-kick beyond international teammate Hart to move Chelsea up to third and leave City with a slender two-point advantage over Manchester United in second.

Anelka agrees to terms with Chinese team
Shanghai, China: Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua have agreed terms with Chelsea’s French striker Nicolas Anelka, the club said Sunday.
“We have agreed on all the contract details and we are only waiting for him to sign it,” club official Ma Yue told Reuters by telephone, adding that there was only one loose end that both sides were “working vigorously” to tie up.
Ma would not reveal details of the contract for the 32-year-old but said Shanghai would issue a statement Monday.
Local media have reported that Anelka’s lucrative contract would be for three years and would involve both soccer and commercial co-operation.
English Premier League side Chelsea have already said they have accepted transfer requests from Anelka and Brazilian defender Alex.

Media reports have said second tier English team West Ham United are also interested in Anelka with manager Sam Allardyce keen to link up again with the player he worked with while in charge of Bolton Wanderers.
Shanghai assistant spokesman Ma also said several Chinese teams were interested in signing Anelka’s team mate Didier Drogba and had been in contact with the Ivory Coast forward.
Last month Drogba refused a one-year extension to his contract at Chelsea and the 33-year-old’s deal at the London club expires next year.
“So far, on Drogba to move to Shenhua, our club has no clear confirmation,” added Ma.
Shanghai, who finished 11th in the league last season, are also looking to bring in former Fulham boss Jean Tigana as coach next term. Tigana stepped down as manager of Ligue 1 side Bordeaux earlier this year.

Didier Drogba opens contract talks !!
Chelsea star Didier Drogba has revealed he has opened contract talks with the club about a new deal.
The Ivorian's current deal is set to expire next summer and he is yet to commit his future to the club past that point.
Drogba, who is currently recovering from arm surgery, is thought to be holding out for a two-year deal while the club would prefer a 12-month extension.
The 33-year-old's future at Chelsea was the subject of speculation in the summer with Fernando Torres
seen as first-choice striker and the arrival of Romelu Lukaku from Anderlecht, along with Daniel Sturridge returning to Stamford Bridge from his loan spell at Bolton, increasing competition for places.

However, Drogba is not worried about the competition for places in Andre Villas-Boas' side and is ready to prove he deserves a new contract.
"Talks have started," Drogba told L'Equipe. "Everyone knows what I want.
"I am not afraid of the competition. I always had to face it here with Gudjohnsen and then Shevchenko."

Be Nice to Fernando Torres!
Fernando Torres. When I here that I think of the 50 million pounds that Chelsea spent to lure him away from Liverpool, and of course the miss of the wide open net against Manchester United.
If you are a Chelsea fan and would like to see your £ 50 million at work you need to stop criticizing him. With all the misses he's had recently he has lost a lot of his confidence. Criticizing him doesn't help.
Thank you,
Please respect Torres

Chelsea vs Manchester United recap
Fernando Torres finally scored on a beautiful shot past De Gea seconds after the start of the second half, but it wasn't enough as Smalling, Nani and Rooney scored for the strong Manchester side that took on Chelsea yesterday.
Smalling scored in the 8th minute off a controversial header on a free kick taken by Young.
Many Chelsea supporters thought he was offside but the ref ruled it a goal.
Nani followed up the scoring in the 37th minute as Mata allowed him too much space he then put a screamer into the upper corner past Cech.
Rooney finished of the scoring for Manchester by tucking in a rebound past Cech making it 3 nil in the 45th minute. It was a hard-fought first half as Chelsea had many opportunities to convert but failed to finish.
Chelsea started the second half with the ball. Anelka made a nice pass into the box for Torres who converted in the 46th minute to make it 3-1, it was his first in 23 matches nearly 11 hours.
There were then many chances for both teams until Ramires fouled Hernandez in the box to give Manchester a penalty. Terry a argued with the ref that the ball was dead at the time of the challenge and therefore should not be given a penalty. Terry and Ramires were shown yellow. Rooney stepped up to take the penalty but slipped and missed the net!
During the 84th minute Torres again received the ball in the box, he dribbled the keeper and shot from 4 yards out ...
Unluckily he missed. It was described as the miss of all misses. Better luck next time Torres. 5 minutes of injury time ensued and neither team scored.
3-1 full time.
