He's sunk £1bil odd into a football club that is worth £500 according to Forbes http://www.forbes.com/soccer-valuations/ .....so you could say his vanity has cost him £500mil so far. Not sure he's that bothered!
Not sure if I'm misreading, but your link says we're worth nearly £900 million? So it's cost him about the same as Man U's summer spending so far 
So it's cost Roman close to £500mil so far.

Actually feel a bit sorry for him, he's done as a top level striker.
Chelsea are better off without him, he brings nothing to your team.
Shame as he was red hot for us.
He's not actually gone yet. He still has to pass a medical and agree terms. No chickens being counted till the window closes and he's gone.Chelsea are better off without him, he brings nothing to your team.

So Torres has gone on a 2 year loan deal! That's him leaving for free. What a waste of f
king money. 47 goals 172 apps that's £1.1 million per goal.
More like £2.2 M with his wages.king money. 47 goals 172 apps that's £1.1 million per goal. Remy ? Really ?
Unless Jose pulls a surprise out of the bag, this is going to leave you light up top.

Glimmers of brilliance but even that great goal against barca came from his own mistake. I have had a lot of faith in him but I do feel we will be much better without him. Remy I don't get. Patrick Bramford could comfortably be our number 3.

The Costa injury/non injury has shown how light we are up front - if he was to spend 4mnths out I doubt DD good lead the line alone. We really need a decent backup, Falcao has just gone for 20m, that could have been us. Wonder FFP is stopping a move, or means we can only get someone cheap or on loan? But then Milan have shown you can pickup a good striker on loan. Yeah, Righto.

AFAIK we're still one short on the home grown front, so signing someone like Falcao doesn't help, unless we lose another foreigner. Like Cech, perhaps?Anyway. There ain't a lot of time to do something in this window. Last minute signings nearly always come back and bite you in the arse.

Anyone know who's picking up the wage bill?
Ermmmmm 
Chelsea of course.
The loan deal is, essentially, just a free transfer ( in that he will become a free agent at the end of the deal anyway ). Rather than get, say , £10m for him and still pay to the end of his contract ( which was mooted in the initial discussions ) , we have just waived that money and let AC pay his wages ( and that £10m will just cover what we might have paid).
Anyway - what a waste of money he was . £50m and £30m in wages with nothing back at all. Serves Roman right and I only hope he will let others decide who to buy in future.
We are now in a situation where we just have to get a replacement. I would rather we got someone on loan rather than pay over the odds in the last 2 days.
