Baird unfazed by Torres challenge
Chris Baird insists Fulham will have no fear of Chelsea striker Fernando Torres in Monday night's west London derby at Craven Cottage.
The Blues will partner Torres alongside Didier Drogba for the second time in a £74million strike force of which much is expected.
But the versatile Baird, who is currently playing at left-back, insists Fulham are unfazed at the prospect of shackling the £50million Spaniard.
"Torres is a great talent. He did fantastically well for Liverpool and scored a lot of goals for them," he said. "But he has not done as well against us. He has scored just two goals against us in the Premier League.
"He's always a threat and with the talent Chelsea have got he is always going to get chances to score, but hopefully we can keep him quiet again against us.
"I was surprised to see him go to Chelsea, but not for the price. It will be weird seeing him in a blue kit."
