Torres signing – 2011
In January 2011 Abramovich decided he needed another marquee signing after the Shevchenko experiment had gone so well and coughed up £50m for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres – still a record transfer fee paid by a British club.
That season Chelsea won no trophies and despite having been a double-winner 12 months earlier, Ancelotti was sacked. Torres managed one goal in 18 appearances.
