Torres. Where does he fit?

I could spend the next 200 or so words talking about how Chelsea triumphed over Sunderland.  But that would be boring.  Torres is far more interesting.  The Spanish striker transferred to  Chelsea from Liverpool for a transfer fee of 50 million pounds and commands a salary of 170,000 pounds a week. 

Now where will he play.  A striker naturally.  But where.  We have Drogba, Anelka and Kalou, all of whom a solid in front of goal.  So who will Torres replace.  Anelka most likely after all Kalou spends most of his time on the bench only coming on towards the end of most games.  I suppose a 4-3-3 with Drogba leading and Torres and Anelka behind him with Lampard, Malouda and Essien bringing up the midfield would make sense.  Or Ancellotti could use the age old Chlesea diamond. With Anelka in the fron and Lampard towards the rear, or with Lampard in the front with Anelka on the bench.

Well whatever formation Ancellotti decides to use, it better work.

  1. Everyone I know in Iceland is referring back to an article in I think 07, where he stated he would never play for any English team other than Liverpool. I actually don't understand why Chelsea signed Torres since Chelsea already has their star players. Just look at Barcelona when they signed Ibrahimovic, they already had Messi as their star and Ibrahimovic clashed with that.
    But I guess we'll just have to wait and see
