Torres, but the Chelsea regime may not be good for him - more games at Liverpool on less of a rotation. A player like Torres needs games, then we have N'Gog - flop at Liverpool why would he be any different at Bolton?
Biggest flop signings in the past couple of years?
My vote goes to pretty much every Liverpool signing with the exceptions of Suarez and Bellamy.
I think he can get back in form, but this requires motivation from hit, and very hard training.LOL yes I agree to an extent - Torres is not a rotation player, no player has a right to score goals, we assume because they get paid highly they should be scoring for fun... how about the opposition defense just crowds him out, stops him playing the game he wants to play? Teams now single out players like Torres, give the defenders some credit in this - crowds turn against players such as Torres and confidence drops.
The fact that he still scores goals in training and brings a lot to the team as a whole seems to be being missed in this thread. He would not even be on the bench warming a seat if Chelsea did not have confidence in Torres to find his form.

But we all saw that he got amazing balls and still didn't score sometimes 1 on 1, sometimes even without a goalie.
But you are right that the defense sometimes stops him and everyone flames him.
It is very hard for a player of such a caliber and high standard to meet the hype surrounding them when such a massive transfer happens - some player just do not gel in a team, move on and are great again.
I still do not feel the rotation system suits Torres - he would have been better suited to Fulham or Sunderland than Chelsea in regards to the EPL. But Chelsea had a vision and the money - I just wish the lad a lot of luck, I feel sorry for him and the way he does take a lot of stick - he will come good, if not at Chelsea, lol at Bolton Wanderers next season - get your check book out Mr. Gartside!

Yes, it was.I would have to agree, Torres to Chelsea was a pretty flop signing. When Liverpool got him, he did amazingly well. But when he went to Chelsea, he stopped scoring and started missing those tap-ins. Wasn't it Abramovich who brought him over to Chelsea?
Suarez- Agreed.Biggest flop signings in the past couple of years?

He did quite good in Newcastle, and was a big prospect.Suarez- Agreed.
Bellamy - he had some good matches in CHL, I wouldn't say he is a flop.
The one that seems the biggest flop in EPL in the last 5 years is Andy Carroll. He is the most weak striker I have seen in a while. But I don't feel sorry for Liverpool, never
He did quite good in Newcastle, and was a big prospect.
I don't think he is a flop as he can still get up on his legs, unlike Torres which already died for me.
If he goes to Atletico Madrid he probably won't come back, he is a pretty old guy.Don't know, I would see Carroll as a defender rather than striker when he tries to hold the ball or make a receiving, the ball deflects from him like from a tree the only skill he has is headers.
Torres indeed needs to go back to Spain, maybe at Atletico Madrid in order to revive himself.
A place to debate everything and anything!
