Ohh, I see. Somebody's feeling left out.

Well don't worry fitster. I'll say a few more of my spells and maybe you'll be a doctor someday, too Smile

Will start at the weekend against Parma for his Milan debut, Di Marzio says.

Pippo promised it to him a little during the phone call where he convinced him to join: “Come to Milan, I will make you return the player you were, one of the best in the world. In the national team too.” Torres said yes, he just needed to hear those words to feel desired...He isn’t even bothered by signing autograph after autograph, when other teammates were annoyed after few minutes.

He gave up a lot of money to join: he was making €7M per year at Chelsea, Milan will give him €4M.

Implies that Chelsea aren't paying any of his wages, or at the very least, are paying a significantly smaller amount

by Kick Sat Sep 13, 2014 12:13 am

I am not sure if it does. I always figured we'd be paying a bit of it.

by Shed Sat Sep 13, 2014 12:40 am

Most have been saying from the outset that we weren't.

Fernando Torres impresses AC Milan manager Filippo Inzaghi with both pen and boot:
Fernando-Torres has already impressed his new boss with his autograph-signing abilities

“Torres had a difficult year, but he has great desire to do well. I like to see a player who stops to sign autographs for two and a half hours, it’s a sign of respect towards the fans."
