Oh and one other thing for Tony and his mighty Chelsea

Torres set for shock Chelsea return:
Fernando Torres could be set for a sensational return to Chelsea, reports the Express.
Torres moved to AC Milan over the summer on a two-year loan deal but the Serie A club look set to terminate the deal in January as they grow increasingly frustrated with the Spaniard’s inconsistent performances.
The former Liverpool man has scored only one goal in 10 league games this season.

Paper Round’s view:
What a fall from grace.
Chelsea can’t even give away the one-time £50 million man. A move to Italy was thought to be the fresh start required for Torres to kick start his career but his struggles have continued.
He is bereft of confidence and does not look like regaining it any time soon. Chelsea already have three strikers on their books in the shape of Diego Costa, Loic Remy and Didier Drogba so Chelsea will in all likelihood try to offload the player again.

Bennys view ..I hear Spurs are looking for a forward
