He is a figure of pity and mockery

It is not only the fans.

It is the media, managers and even Paddy Power who mocked Torres up on a billboard outside Stamford Bridge, suggesting the forward could do more good for Blues fans serving them burgers outside the ground than wearing a shirt in it.

Now it is at the stage where Torres can do something good (see ignored yet sublime flick on for Diego Costa for further proof of this) only to see it over looked because of a glaring miss later that game (that two yard sitter every football fan in the world is sharing virals of). Time to go.
