Blackpool manager Ian Holloway believes Chelsea striker Fernando Torres is not worth his £50m transfer fee.
The reigning Premier League champions splashed out a British-record fee to snare the Spaniard from Liverpool in January, but Holloway believes no player could justify such a huge fee.
Speaking ahead of tonight’s clash with Chelsea at Bloomfield Road, the Seasiders boss said: “He's a great player. Is he worth that money? I don't think anyone is.
“Roman Abramovich has given it the old flex, 'Look at me!' Do I agree with it? No. Can I do anything about it? No.
“But if people are going to pay it, then he is. If someone wants to pay me £50m for my house I'll bloody sell it to him!
“I think they've bought a brilliant player. It just goes to show the gulf between what we're doing and what Chelsea are doing.
“We've already seen him here (playing for Liverpool) and he scored a brilliant goal against us so we've got to be on our game.
“Have a look at world football and tell me a better striker, whether he's in form or out of form. He's allowed to go out of form because he's still very young.
“I think he's still one of the best players in the world and Chelsea have done a fantastic bit of business.”
