  • From Chelsea signing Tiémoué Bakayoko, Davide Zappacosta, Álvaro Morata, and Danny Drinkwater all in one window for more than £150 million, to Manchester United throwing a similar amount at Daniel James, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Harry Maguire in the summer of 2019, HITC Sevens takes a look at some of the single worst transfer windows that football clubs have ever had.

    I'd like to nominate my Arsenal team in the summer of 2016 when Arsene Wenger spent £95m on Xhaka, Mustafi and Lucas Perez while selling Serge Gnabry for less than £5m. Absolutely dreadful stuff.

      Monaco did have an enormously positive net spend and had a lot of money in the bank with that window, and the likes of mbappe and silva leaving was almost inevitable. Thats how clubs who are not regularly powerhouses work, be in teams such as monaco, lille etc. They sell their players for massive excesses following amazing seasons where they beat the leaders against all odds. Then the reinvest the money slowly to become better at youth recruitment and training facilities instead of players. That's why monaco is still fiercely competitive in their league and didn't suffer enormously from covid like the other french clubs.
      Moreover, the inclusions in this seven are mostly teams who sold their best players and reinvested the money on absolute scrubs. Monaco simply didnt reinvest the money on players, rather thought long term

      @@mayukhdatta4017 yes, but they sold too many too soon. Can't live too much in the future if you can't even field a proper squad, and losing the entire spine of your team has got to hurt you, because who knows which of the new signings will work out and which won't. That's why teams sell some key players (if they really have to, or get a good price and have a replacement ready), but then they sell extortionate prices for others to not have a rebuild of the entire team and have some continuity, which is what Monaco clearly failed to do.

    You may have missed Tottenham’s 2019 window after the champions league final,
    Ndombele club record fee, 65million and 250k a week! Absolute flop
    Lo Celso another 45-50million, awful player
    Jack Clarke, 10million, never got a game, only just sold to Sunderland for a fraction of the price.
    Finally Ryan Sessegnon, 30million, always injured, had a decent second half of the season last season, some potential but overall not delivered as of yet

    • @zerofox641

      We went 18 months without a signing and then made some of the worst aside from how we spent the Bale cash.
      Sessegnon is the only one who has showed any hope, despite his injury problems. Lo Celso had one decent half season but at least has decent sell on value, and Clarke was never able to develop.
      Ndombele is, imo, our worst transfer. His fitness levels and attitude have stunk and no one will buy him bc Levy gave him stupid wages and is demanding +40M for a guy who has barely played and when he has mostly looks like ass and can’t play more than 60 minutes.

    Got to mention Benfica's 2017 window. We had won 4 leagues in a row and could win a record breaking 5th championship in a row. Proceeded to sell Lindelof, Nelson Semedo, Ederson and Mitroglou (our top scorer) all in the same window. Made more than 100M€ in sales and what did we bring in? To replace Ederson we brought back Bruno Varela that had been out on loan in the previous season and he was so bad we had to play 18 year old Svilar, to replace Semedo we brought Douglas on loan from Barcelona but he barely payed, to replace Lindelof we bought no one...and to replace Mitroglou we brought Seferovic on a free.
    0 points e the Champions league group, lost the league title and the quality of the squad would never recover. To this day Benfica suffers the consequences of that window. Manager was sacked and the president was arrested years later.

    I would definitely add Leeds United’s 2003 summer window. We were on our knees financially and had lost many of our top players the year before, but the signings we made just compounded our dire situation.
    Loaning in the likes of Lamine Sakho, Solomon Olembe, Didier Domi, Zoumana Camara and of course the awful Roque Jr set the tone for our relegation season.
    It was clearly an unbalanced side full of players that had given up and washed their hands of us. Crazily one of the few shining lights that year was Jermaine Pennent on loan from Arsenal!
    Even the appointment of Eddie Grey wasn’t enough to save us and when you look at the business that summer, it’s clear to see why.

We avoided relegation by the skin of our teeth and none of those players were heard from again.

Pickford has made vital saves; £25M for an England No.1 seems OK. Sigurdsson seemed good previously. For bad transfers how about QPR in 2011 and 2012, a team so bad even Mark Hughes and Harry Redknapp couldn't save them. Bad players, bad attitude, toxic dressing room.

    Maybe label the fans who at the time roared approval of some of these recruits or the media circus that surrounds such recruitment - then cry when they face FFP points deductions.
