Tottenham flop Roberto Soldado clearly hasn't lost his touch since he completed his move to Villarreal.

Spurs fans could be excused for fearing that the 30-year-old would leave White Hart Lane and find his shooting boots to make shipping the Spaniard out look like a bad piece of business.

Well, it doesn't look like there's any danger of that happening any time soon.

The striker, who scored just 16 goals in 76 appearances during a two-year spell in north London, was unveiled to Villarreal's fanbase earlier today.

Soldado vowed to get back to his best in La Liga and recapture the lethal form that he showed at Valencia, prior to his ill-fated move to England's top tier.

With the talking over, all that was left for Soldado to do was wave to the crowd in his brand new kit and hit a customary couple of balls into the stands.

But that's where things went wrong. The hapless striker managed to miss the entire lower tier where the fans fans were located. Not once, but twice.

Dear, oh dear. What have Villarreal let themselves in for?
