Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas says he has total belief in striker Fernando Torres.

Torres is in danger of becoming a record-breaker for the wrong reasons - as the game's biggest flop.

But loyal Blues boss Villas-Boas, who inherited Torres in the summer, said: "Is he still worth that money? Would I pay £50m for him? Of course I would.

"At the moment Fernando's best moments in terms of scoring were the Liverpool days.

"That does not mean those days won't arrive at this club and that does not mean he is not performing for the team because he is."
