    After seeing this.

    Atletico Madrid and Spain striker Fernando Torres, 33, is keen to return to the Premier League, with Southampton and Newcastle interested.

    Who are some off the biggest flops your clubs have had?

    Overhyped ****e.

    Dani Osvaldo. Bloke was clearly talented but an absolute ****. Probably doesn't count as a proper flop though?
    Oh and no way will we sign Torres, doesn't fit in with our usual type of signing.

    He was wicked at Dortmund...I wanted him at Spurs.

    I'd have to put Soldado as a flop..massive flip flop.

    Been out for over a year now... but he's supposed to be back in training. He's pivotal to the way Poch plays, one of our hardest workers when it comes to closing players down got an eye for goal too. He's not a flop...he took a while to settle down but then he was great, then he got injured.

    Wasn't his absence explained in different ways? Dog had died etc? I had heard rumours he was removed to deal with addiction rather than injury.

    Ha. I was thinking off some Egyptian striker or something. Wires crossed

    Borini was a **** up, chased the **** for yonk. But he did ike to score against the mag and had a hot bird

    I had read that his brother had an accident then his dog died etc. Then the official line was hip injury x2. So off to Roma to help with the blues that long term injured players get

    But then it was the mail iirc said tgry had found out that poch had sent medical staff to assess him and there was no injury. Never denied or confirmed by the club.

    All a bit strange tbh

    You not doing so bad without him tbf

    Poch got the best out of him but I thought he was a flop under Sherwood and avb tbh

    All that time out if the game though will make a comeback difficult, potential Hargreaves situation

    Yeah I think he needed to settle down...he was running alot but he wasn't ready for the intensity of the PL. He adapted with the physical side and I think Poch being an Argie helped the process along.

    I agree it's always hard to find past form after a long lay off.

    The internet would run out of space if we started listing biggest flops or disappointments at our club Comm.

    Comm - a quick question. Do they still count as flops if you can sell them to Spurs for 30million?
