    Boro fan here Alfie, I don't think Mendieta was a huge disappointment for us when he joined in all fairness. Of course he wasn't playing like he'd cost 48mil just a few seasons before, but he was pretty vital to our qualifications for Europe and winning the league cup in 2004, and chipped in with a reasonable amount of goals and assists. He did have a big bust up with Southgate when he became boss which soured things admittedly

Bebe bad purchase end of story but not a world shattering or stand out fee, Eric Djemba-Djemba didn't cost a huge amount to begin with, Gabriel Obertan can't be considered bad business when purchased for the same fee as he was later sold on for 2 seasons on, Kleberson was a poor signing and a very ill-advised signing but again recouped decent money.

    You need to check out the transfer of Assan Ceesay to my club FC Zürich. After they had sold all their strikers in summer, they panic bought a walking stick for a whopping 2 million Euros, which for a small club is a huge amount of money, especially considering his market value was only around 700k. This was also the clubs second highest transfer fee paid ever! He came in after having spent the last season on loan in the second tier of Swiss football, scoring just 5 goals there. Since his arrival he has scored just 8 goals in 53 appearances for the club, half of which were against lower league teams in the cup. He has also been loaned out. As a fan it is extremly frustrating, since we have had problems in attack since his arrival, and this man can't even walk properly, like seriously, he trips at least 5 times per game.

    It wasn't Messi's positioning that made Zlatan surplus to requirements, it's that Zlatan didn't understand that he couldn't just goal-hang in a Guardiola side, that all the pieces have to move constantly, dummy runs, making space and creating options for the player with the ball. Even Thierry Henry, consistently one of the world's best players during his time at Arsenal, said he had to relearn what he thought he knew about football when he moved to Barca. But, whilst Zlatan wanted to continue playing his own way, Henry kept his ego in check and evolved, doing particularly well in his second season. Zlatan openly questioned and criticised Pep in front of the team and to the media. His arrogance is why he didn't do as well as he should have, and why he was gone for cheap that following summer.

    I don't usually pick holes in these lists too much because I can imagine it's a bit of a ball-ache to compile them but you have made a massive error with not including Keiron Dyer for 2007. He cost £6million, earned £60k per week and made 30 league appearances in 4 years without scoring a goal and never completed a full match. This from this Wiki entry:
    "In May 2010, figures in The Daily Telegraph stated that Dyer, who had made only 22 appearances and had never played a full 90 minutes for West Ham, was the club's top earner on £83,000-a-week. His deal included £424,000-a-season for image rights and £100,000 in loyalty fees.[39] Dyer was released by West Ham at the end of the 2010-11 season, after costing the club around £450,000 for every match he played in.[40]"
    In fairness to Dyer, he had his leg broken in two places following a bad tackle in a League Cup game on his second appearance, which he never really recovered from. I was at his debut v Birmingham and he and Bellamy played well in that match but that was as good as it got! West Ham have made some pretty awful signings over the years, and you could probably do a video on just those and still have content left over, but the Dyer transfer takes some beating. Arguably worse than the Savio deal that you mentioned and I'm sure a lot of my fellow Hammers would probably it's a toss-up between those two as to which was worse.
    He later signed for QPR where he was stretchered off after 3 minutes on his debut...

    As a Sunderland fan, I'd just like to point out that you've totally oversimplified the Ricky Alvarez deal. It wasn't that Sunderland simply didn't want him permanently. The club argued that his automatic purchase clause should become null and void after he suffered an injury during our match against Swansea City, and on further examination, it turned out that he'd had an existing injury that, for which he had already had had surgery on, which Inter had failed to disclose to Sunderland when he signed for us on loan.
    Sunderland had actually requested permission from Inter, who were still his parent club, to send Alvarez to a specialist and have him operate on this reoccurrence of the knee injury, but Inter refused, citing that this would void the automatic purchase clause of the deal should the operation go wrong. This was deemed to be too much of a risk by Sunderland, and the club attempted to cancel the deal, citing the likelihood that Inter had concealed vital medical information on the player before the deal had been signed.
    In short, it seems that it was actually Inter who wanted rid of him, rather than Sunderland, and tried to sell us an absolute lemon.
    I'll give you the Jack Rodwell one, though. He was shite.

    The Arthur-Pjanić switch transfer was mainly due to FFP reasons. Because it was basically a 1-1 trade, both Barcelona and Juventus could write any number as a fee that would show as a profit in the books. Another reason is that when a club gets player in, it can divide his transfer fee + wage by no. of contract years (so a 100 mln transfer on a 5 y contract costs 20 mln/year), but the transfer fee for an outgoing player can be booked as a profit right away.

    As an Everton fan, I was dreading the end of the video because of our recent transfer business, but I will gladly take just one dishonorable mention for the cost of Sigurdsson

    Roberto Soldado is one of the nicest players ever to play in the PL, he might not have scored many goals, but some important ones.

      @David Lim Yeah, where did the wretched human being thing come from? Super harsh extra comment to throw in unless there’s some good reason...

    Mark Bosnich was an interesting one. He had played nearly 200 Premiership games. Signed to replace Schmeical . It was months before Fergusson signed the infamous Italian.

    Was Zlatan actually bad for Barca? Sure he cost a lot of money but he scored plenty of goals

    • @Meltrikz

      True. In his first season he scored 21 goals and had 13 assists in 45 games. That's not bad at all.

    Danny Drinkwater’s signing for Chelsea was honestly worse for Drinkwater than it was for Chelsea. He was a decent CM or CDM, a position that Chelsea were not struggling to fill. His career didn’t so much take a nosedive as it did slam into a barrier and just stop. I feel bad for the guy, but points for ambition?
