You seriously believe they have a likely chance of making it out of that group?
To be fair, they stand a better chance than you lot

He's inconsistent, he's not really Mourinho's guy and there's too much striker depth thus making him the odd man out. Eto'o was just signed, Lukaku is the future and I don't think the club wants to part with Torres because of the large amount of money they've invested in him.
Personally, I just don't think Ba is the type of striker that is going to show up for us in big games. Domestically, he'd be fine but in European competitions, I'm not sure we could count on him. He doesn't exactly scream world class to me. But again, he's very talented and one of the better strikers in the EPL (not top tier but maybe one or two tiers below?). He will 100% be loaned out or sold before the transfer window closes.

Also Kaka has told the media and Real Madrid he wants a transfer and to be gone before the deadline Monday.
Wonder what clubs will be interested. Looks like he's really pushing hard for a spot on Brazil next year.
What a waste of money he was in Real tho :x

Chelsea ready to listen to Fernando Torres transfer offers after Samuel Eto'o signs
Chelsea ready to listen to Fernando Torres transfer offers after Samuel Eto'o signs
Chelsea striker Fernando Torres is up for sale following the arrival of Samuel Eto’o.
Cameroon marksman Eto'o, 32, has signed a stunning one-year deal worth £7million to move from Anzhi Makhachkala to Stamford Bridge.
Now, despite Demba Ba being linked with a return to Newcastle, Chelsea are ready to listen to offers for Torres, who was signed from Liverpool for a British record £50million two years ago.
Spanish sides are aware of his availability, with the 29-year-old having fallen down the pecking order following Eto’o’s arrival.
Clubs enquiring after rising-star forward Romelu Lukaku following Eto’o arrival have been told that the Belgian still remains very much in Mourinho’s plans.
Torres has lifted the European Cup, FA Cup and the Europa League trophy during his time with the west Londoners.
In his three games under new boss Jose Mourinho this season, however, the Spaniard has been substituted against Hull, unused against Aston Villa and sent on from the bench for the game at Manchester United.
Torres knows that his chances of being selected for the World Cup next summer could be in jeopardy if he is not playing regular first-team football this season.
International team-mate David Villa quit Barcelona for Atletico Madrid this summer in order to get more opportunities to impress Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque.
Mourinho turned to Eto’o, with whom he lifted a Treble of Italian title and Cup and the Champions League at Inter Milan, after failing to land Wayne Rooney from United earlier this week.
Eto’o is understood to be a player on whom Mourinho believes he can rely on.
Torres, in contrast, faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge.
Eto, who rejected a counter-offer from Inter to move to London, said: “I am very happy to be here, but also anxious because I want to play as soon as possible.
“It was a difficult decision. Was very happy with Jose Mourinho before so when the opportunity came, I was very happy to take it."

Mourinho is not Levy.
Emanalo is not Levy.
Just because some clubs are run that way, doesn't mean every club is. Chelsea isn't one of them.
And when has Mourinho ever been known to play coy? If anything he is too blunt. So if he says something about a player, he's one of the few managers you can truly believe. Jose has always been known to be blunt and honest, almost to a fault
@ being ready to listen to Torres offers.We'd basically have to let him go on a free transfer in order for anybody to take him

Levy has got to be the best footie chairman right now. Son operates with zero dambs in his pocket. He fully understood the intrinsic and market value of his asset, and ensured that his team would reap the most out of the deal. I respect the fact that he's not just shrewd, he clearly cares about Spurs' success. Ed Woodard could learn a lot from Levy.
