Veron did loads at United. There was that 2nd half demolition of Spurs after being 3-0 down at half time and the way Roy Keane looked at him with utter distain and hatred was priceless.
Yea man stupid comment you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.. Veron was far better at united than Chelsea and actually won the Premier league there.. So your point is pure crap basically👍
No wonder Kepa is an absolutely disasterous signing, but there's no way any signing can ever be worse than Alexis Sanchez's move to Man Utd. Man literally bagged 350k/w and scored a grand total of 5 goals. In 2017, Ousmane Dembele is a much worse signing than Danny Drinkwater imo.
Considering Dembele able bagging few goals and still playing until today and starting to play better, Dembele still better investment rather than Drinkwater

It was one of his worst stints at a club, but he was still decent, but the money they payed and Eto going the other way is absolutely horrible on Barcas part
@@rpg5265 ibra wasnt a flop, he was fantastic considering he was competing with messi in terms of his position. . Barca was the one that made the mistake so take nothing away from zlatan
The problem if you read Zlatan book Messi threatened Pep to leave after Ibra joined because he wanted to be the main man so Pep moved Messi into the central forward position and benched Ibra if you actually watch the games Ibra played he was really good this was literally in Zlatan autobiography in a chapter specifically called Pep Guardiola
As was I. When the image came up I was about to get indignant. Baros was mediocre but he was cheap and scored a few goals at least. I knew Diouf would be here
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 won't hear any Mendieta slander: the dude landed at my Boro, and he brought us the Carling Cup. Him and Zenden were a great pairing in the middle with the rising Downing.
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...
Brolin, Brolin, Brolin, get the sausage rolls in, and a box of donuts, or five. His shorts no longer fit him, because he's always eatin, this signing was the worst of our lives....
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.
Ibrahimovic was definitely not the worst signing of the year. He was just not suited to Barcelona's system. The guy scored 20+ goals including an El Clasico winner in his only Clasico appearance.
Wow Man U got off lightly. Bebe, Kleberson, Djemba Demba, Di Maria, Obertan to name just a few. An honourable mention to Ribena, I mean Robinho for the noisy neighbours.
Falcao wasn't a worst signing as he was only on loan and Man Utd purposefully didn't fulfill the terms in the buy out clause by not playing him 25 times in the season. 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. Di Maria was one of the poorest signings in football at the time and I'm very surprised to have not seen him in this video but then again he recouped decent money upon joining PSG
You’re so weird. Hazard was our best player by a country mile, real look 10x better with him but he’s just been unlucky with injuries. You can’t be a chelsea fan if ur laughing about hazard
@@spazzi5716 don’t miss understand me I love Hazard and btw I had the chance to watch Gianfranco Zola believe me he was twice the player Hazard will ever be but anyway the thing we’re laughing about is Real Madrid paying us 130 million and still hasn’t gotten anything out of the deal
Falcao joining Manchester United was the most cursed signing of the year imo. He scored just four goals at a cost of £3.95m each. To be honest, after Sir Alex retired, 90% of United transfers have been quite bad
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.
Arthur was having lot of problems in Barcelona, so they changed him for Panic plus 20 m. Probably was not a great operation for Barcelona, but I am sure that bthere has been many worst.
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?
As much as I loved him at Liverpool Torres to Chelsea in 2011 should probs be up there for an honourable mention. Also when you said Soldado reminded me of Vincent Janssen... 31 appearances and 2 goals
As much as I'd like to agree with you, he did score the winner for Chelsea in the nou camp in a champions league semi and not too many failures have done that but he was under whelninf at Chelsea Soldado was toilet but then again Spurs are too 😂😂
Gaizka Mendieta in the eyes of the majority of Middlesbrough Fans was a brilliant signing. On the pitch he showed Class and the ability to take control of games we had no right controlling. For example the Boro vs Man Utd game I think we won at home 4-0 or maybee 4-1. He was extraordinary.
Glad to see Andrea silenzi given a mention. As probably an ‘older’ viewer of your vids (34 y/o) I remember the mid 90’s prem having a lot of pony players. Marco boogers, Erik meijer, Sean Dundee and of course the legend that is Ali Dia.
Funny to bring up Boogers and Meijer. Both were good for 2nd rate Dutch clubs and that's it. Never understood why West Ham and Liverpool signed them in the first place. Me being Dutch and 50 now :D
04:09 There was no Euro currency in 98' mate, it was started to be used in big international transactions in 99' and began replacing national currencies in 02'.
Its too early to call Hazard a flop. He was mostly injured and not too bad when he actually played last season. He can still come good if he can get past the injuries and refind his Chelsea form. 2019 should be Luka Jovic to Real.
Biggest flop in real madrid history, jovic is a galactico compared to hazard. No way to compare the two, jovic is a lot more reliable, hazard doesn t know to play football
@@drogba8722 So injuries are his fault then? And he wasn't fat, that was stupid media rumours. And if you watched him play in the few games he did then was actually somewhat decent. As I said, you know what a fully fit on form Hazard can do. If he can find that form again then you know what its gonna be like.
@@NomaHirudo Yes, the same guy who was the Premier league's best player for 7 years "doesn't know how to play football". Also, imagine calling Jovic a galactico. You're a crackpot buddy, I don't need more convincing.
In 2002 when Liverpool signed Djouf there was also another player who Houlier was debating with himself about which of them to choose. He asked the players and they all chose this player over Djouf. The player was Nicolas Anelka.
Diouf was signed before the 2002 world cup had started. I remember it well because in the opening match whenever he touched the ball the commentators were sure to mention that he was a future Liverpool player
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
Don’t think Balotelli was a bad signing for city, he scored 13 goals assisted the premier leagues most memorable goal and helped city win the league, and they sold him for a decent price.
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.
Brian Laudrup was one of the best players iv ever seen play at Rangers. It just didnt work out at Chelsea for some reason. Can say the same for Tore Andre Flo who was good at Chelsea but useless at Rangers?
I mean, Shevchenko’s replacement at AC Milan was even worse: Ricardo Oliveira cost the rossoneri 15 million euros and scored THREE times the whole season.
Why is it that everyone ignores the fact that Pjanic wasn't that expensive at all? It's was a trade between him and Arthur + money to Barcelona. The only reason the amount of money involved was so high was to save Barcelona's budget for the year. The deal should be looked at like this Pjanic + 12 million for Arthur
How is VDB anywhere near this list. 40M for a player of his talent and potential should be seen as nothing more than a bargain. There is still plenty of time to rack up appearances this season.
Coutinho went for 145 million and after a season at Barca was loaned to Bayern. That's crazy.

@@spazzi5716 don’t miss understand me I love Hazard and btw I had the chance to watch Gianfranco Zola believe me he was twice the player Hazard will ever be but anyway the thing we’re laughing about is Real Madrid paying us 130 million and still hasn’t gotten anything out of the deal
@@spazzi5716 I don't understand how you could get the message totally wrong.

Adrian Mutu's case has always had extra humour for me because Mutu in my mother tongue means powder.
2017 was a disastrous summer for Chelsea. Drinkwater, Bakayoko, Zappacosta, and Morata.
Diego Costa fiasco as well.
Glad AC Milan spent the Sheva money wisely... Ricardo Oliveira anyone?
At 07:03, that's an image of Milan Baros with his head shaved, not Bruno Cheyrou! :-D
Falcao joining Manchester United was the most cursed signing of the year imo. He scored just four goals at a cost of £3.95m each.
To be honest, after Sir Alex retired, 90% of United transfers have been quite bad
Woodward is to blame
Lol the way you pronounced Ade Akinbiyi nearly gave me a heart attack from laughing. 😂 😂
Jesus Christ.... 😂
He pronounced a few of them incorrectly.

The last time I was this early, lingard was a promising youngster
So last year
That means..you r late..noob
He is still a promising youngster tho, Dub as the next Ronaldinho to be exact.
he still is a promising youngster. young and has skills of zidane
Ive been hoping n still got my fingers crossed
We know that you were born in 1996
Jonathan Woodgate's debut at Real has to be an all time classic. He trots on as a sub and is all smiles. An own goal and a red card later.....hahahaha
Carroll scored a winning header in a semi final against Everton so he’s worth every penny we paid IMO
Plus his England goal in Euro 2012.
@@archstanton6102 idc about England tbf but still remember his header like it was yesterday limbs all over the living room when he scored it
@@justsomeguy2743 I was there in the stadium, just above and to right of goal. As a Geordie I went mental.
He also had a fantastic Euro 2012 playing in the England team that beat Sweden.
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.

@@FriedrichHerschel yeah yeah yeah tomatoes tamatas
Ibra? Are you insane? The guys was sacrificed, and even managed to score 21 goals.
Apparently Ibra was nowhere near a flop. His output was great despite not being a right fit in the tactic
They lost a lot of $$ when they shipped him off
Pjanic has been pretty decent tbf
Yeah but he's not as good as Artur and much older
Arthur was having lot of problems in Barcelona, so they changed him for Panic plus 20 m. Probably was not a great operation for Barcelona, but I am sure that bthere has been many worst.
Just hurts me to see Hazard being called a flop even though he plays for real Madrid he's still a quality player imo
Man I'm a Chelsea fan and Hazard is a legend at my club, but he has been an unmitigated disaster in Madrid.
Too early to call him a flop
@@mr_boo. hes been there for a season and a couple of months, hes a flop.
@@rpr_fearYT how many matches did he play ?
@@mr_boo. Thats why he is a flop he cant stay FIT, and alo when he is fit he does nothing
Mutu transfered to Chelsea from Parma, not Fiorentina.. Otherwise, great video as always
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?
As much as I loved him at Liverpool Torres to Chelsea in 2011 should probs be up there for an honourable mention. Also when you said Soldado reminded me of Vincent Janssen... 31 appearances and 2 goals
As much as I'd like to agree with you, he did score the winner for Chelsea in the nou camp in a champions league semi and not too many failures have done that but he was under whelninf at Chelsea
Soldado was toilet but then again Spurs are too 😂😂
Gaizka Mendieta in the eyes of the majority of Middlesbrough Fans was a brilliant signing. On the pitch he showed Class and the ability to take control of games we had no right controlling. For example the Boro vs Man Utd game I think we won at home 4-0 or maybee 4-1. He was extraordinary.
Eden hazard looks out the window of his house every night, remembering his time at Chelsea..
The camera pans and shows Greizmann standing there beside him
Glad to see Andrea silenzi given a mention. As probably an ‘older’ viewer of your vids (34 y/o) I remember the mid 90’s prem having a lot of pony players.
Marco boogers, Erik meijer, Sean Dundee and of course the legend that is Ali Dia.
Funny to bring up Boogers and Meijer. Both were good for 2nd rate Dutch clubs and that's it. Never understood why West Ham and Liverpool signed them in the first place. Me being Dutch and 50 now :D
04:09 There was no Euro currency in 98' mate, it was started to be used in big international transactions in 99' and began replacing national currencies in 02'.
Its too early to call Hazard a flop. He was mostly injured and not too bad when he actually played last season. He can still come good if he can get past the injuries and refind his Chelsea form. 2019 should be Luka Jovic to Real.
Bro all the things you said makes him flop, you cannot be injured,fat and bad at pitch all the time for 100 million...
Biggest flop in real madrid history, jovic is a galactico compared to hazard. No way to compare the two, jovic is a lot more reliable, hazard doesn t know to play football
@@drogba8722 So injuries are his fault then?
And he wasn't fat, that was stupid media rumours. And if you watched him play in the few games he did then was actually somewhat decent. As I said, you know what a fully fit on form Hazard can do. If he can find that form again then you know what its gonna be like.
@@NomaHirudo Yes, the same guy who was the Premier league's best player for 7 years "doesn't know how to play football". Also, imagine calling Jovic a galactico. You're a crackpot buddy, I don't need more convincing.
@@areebsiddiqui758 dude you cannot compare la liga to premier league, la liga is the best in the world
Amazed Joelinton didn’t get a mention
I know I don't know how much he cost (I think that it was for something like £40 million) for Newcastle but 3 goals in something like 41 apps

2017 dishonourable mention aged well...
I'm a Liverpool fan and before I watched this video I thought to myself Andy Carroll has to be the 2011 winner 😂
He was my first thought too
That sigurdson deal would be the worse now
In 1996 Ali Dia should have been an honorable mention 😂
George Weah gave him a glowing reference.
Pretty sure your picture of Bruno Cheyrou is actually a picture of Milan Baros
I forgot some of these signings thank you for refreshing my mind
7:06 that’s Milan Baros not Bruno Cheyrou
Imagine losing your position to a 83 year old goalkeeper 🤣🤣🤣
Just a point to be made, Jackson Martinez never played at the Metropolitano, as Atletico didn't move into their new stadium until 2017
You missed the opportunity to say "You don't mess with the Zohar".
In 2002 when Liverpool signed Djouf there was also another player who Houlier was debating with himself about which of them to choose. He asked the players and they all chose this player over Djouf. The player was Nicolas Anelka.
Even braithwaite is a better signing than hazard lol
Because braithwaite was bought only to be put in the bench because dembele was injured hazard was bought to replace Ronaldo lw
Hazard has time to come good for Real, I don’t think anyone has any hope for Birthright
@@punkpoetry well we will see what fatzard will do in his next match braitewaite is inform right now
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.

Day 11: 7 most overrated players ever; 7 most underrated players ever

Liverpool had already signed Diouf before the World Cup, it wasn't done off the back of a good WC
Diouf was signed before the 2002 world cup had started. I remember it well because in the opening match whenever he touched the ball the commentators were sure to mention that he was a future Liverpool player
Really want Hazard to start being world class again. One of my favorite players.
Keep dreaming.

Brother 👍🏼
Several of our sighings could have made this🤣🤣🤣
seen the title, immediately thought of Kezman, thanks for including him :D
Mendietta was outstanding for Middlesbrough , I should know I watched him week in week out as a boro fan
Think outstanding may be a bit of a reach, he was decent but was always injured
You put up a picture of Milan Baros instead of Bruno Cheyrou!
Still a great video!
Don’t think Balotelli was a bad signing for city, he scored 13 goals assisted the premier leagues most memorable goal and helped city win the league, and they sold him for a decent price.
It was the liverpool one mate
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.
Royston Drenthe. when he was at Everton. Notice how i did`nt say, when he Played for Everton.
Like that had any significance in worldwide football. Like would you care of what drenthe did when he played for Hercules?
Reading the title for the video I thought: There is no way Bogarde’s move to Chelsea will not feature in this.
Mendieta had a bad 4 years at Middlesbrough? One of the better players I've seen wear the shirt! Absolutely loved at Boro.
Chelsea made some horrendous signings in the late 90's and early 2000's. Brian Laudrup, Chris Suton, Bogarde, Mutu etc...
Brian Laudrup was one of the best players iv ever seen play at Rangers. It just didnt work out at Chelsea for some reason. Can say the same for Tore Andre Flo who was good at Chelsea but useless at Rangers?
absolutely love these videos, the amount of depth, research, and effort you put in is admirable.
Really? Kepa over Coutinho isn't right! Half the price and the appearances make it a less ugly transfer!
Pjanic and De beek played good so how can they be pathetic signings wtf
First of all van da beek never plays and pjanic hasn’t even done much for bárca
I mean, Shevchenko’s replacement at AC Milan was even worse: Ricardo Oliveira cost the rossoneri 15 million euros and scored THREE times the whole season.
You can also never do any worst transfer list without mentioning Rafael Scheidt.
Him and Flo should have been on this list
@@KACS4 Flo got a tough time. Disappointing yes, but they recouped 7m of 12m and he was a good SPL striker. Michael Ball is a better comparison.
Why is it that everyone ignores the fact that Pjanic wasn't that expensive at all?
It's was a trade between him and Arthur + money to Barcelona.
The only reason the amount of money involved was so high was to save Barcelona's budget for the year.
The deal should be looked at like this Pjanic + 12 million for Arthur
Surely joelinton and Harry Maguire are worse than Pepe and jovic
He has his streaks at Man Utd
As an Egyptian, Mido makes me so embarrassed for how his poor his form was. Thank god for Salah
7:07 Mate, isn't that Milan Baros with a buzz cut?
Tore Andre Flo to Rangers should definitely be on this list. That donut is STILL the SPL record transfer 😂
12 million pounds it still haunts me 🤣
Why did you use a picture of Milan Baros when you talked about Cheyrou at Liverpool? I know they were both bald at the time but still XD
people just can't get it through their heads that van de beek was brought in to be a good back up option and starter when pogba leaves
Thats what I've been saying. They signed his replacement now so clubs didn't hold us to ransom know we've just received x amount of money for Pogba
The inclusion of Van de Beek is laughable.
Indeed not his fault that Solskjear has no clue...
@@d3al3rplays68 nah, he's only been at the club for a short time. Nothing to do with Ole.
How is VDB anywhere near this list. 40M for a player of his talent and potential should be seen as nothing more than a bargain. There is still plenty of time to rack up appearances this season.
