Chelsea flop Fernando Torres admits he hasn't justified £50m price tag
CHELSEA flop Fernando Torres has professed he hasn't justified his £50m price tag and that he needs to score more goals.
The Spaniard is currently out for three weeks with a knee injury, but believes he needs time.
Torres helped himself to 23 goals in all competitions though he flourished in the cup competitions.
"The people are looking at me thinking I should do much better and it's true," he told Chelsea TV.
"The reason you pay that money for someone is that he has shown in the past he is worth that.
"Now what you have to show is you can have the same value or even more value for things you have done at Chelsea.
"I know I have many things to do at this club to give the confidence back to the owner.
"The amount of goals I scored last season should be the minimum.
"I want to ask that of myself but I have enough time.
"I signed a five-and-a-half year contract and I'm sure the future can only be better."
Torres has socorred 37 goals in 139 appearances for the Blues.
