Expensive Flops XI

[Parm]

Mutu, Reyes, Kezman, Nugent, Jeffers

Darrent Bent's on his way.

Chris Sutton, Winston Bogarde..

God, there's **** loads.

factor in Duff, Crespo, Ferrira, Boularouhz, Del Horno as well.

Winston Bogarde - I can't remember if Chelsea got him on a free but still paid him massive wages and he hardly played. Also Manchester City's Matias Vuoso who was Forlans strike parner before he joined Manure coste them £6 or £7 million and I don't think he ever played. Helder Postiga also cost spurs about £6 million and didn't do anything apart from score against England in Euro 2004.

Postiga also scored against us!
think Guivarch could be added to that list along with carisaraghi/

alos Bosnich flopped badly despite being a free (twice) and picking up massive wages.

[Parm]

oh yes van der meyde and jeffers, kevin davies.

[Reaper]

Are we counting Collymore as a flop?

[simey85]

Darren Bent

[The Erectile Banana]

He was a big flop at Villa so I guess you could.

Frannie Jeffers, Stefan Guiv'arch and Kevin Davies (Blackburn) all spring to mind.

[tommyg]

Veron definately came to mind when i saw this thread title, also Rio Ferdinand

[tomasjj]

Didn't Grabbi score against us? I'm sure he did. He went on the already long list of really wank strikers who never ever scored against anybody but us...

Grabbi
Facundo Sava (hat-trick!)
Kevin Lisbie (hat-trick!)
Helder Postiga
Forlan
Szilard Nemeth
Casiraghi (only goal for Chelsea)
Michael Proctor

There are tons more. Happens all the time.

Nemeth was a decent enough player though.

[Shaggy]

Nemeth was a decent enough player though.

Hmmmmmmm.

Well I thought he was ****, and he never scored (m)any goals.

Duff and Crespo weren't flops.

Duff did very well in his first two seasons at Chelsea. He was their best player in Ranieri's last season and he and Robben were excellent when Maureen won his first title.

Crespo didn't get much of a chance at Chelsea but when he did play he had a very good scoring ratio. He didn't get much of a chance to shine but he is no flop.

Yep i rated Crespo too.

[Kenneth]

£8m Dean Richards

This one shows how ridiculous transfer fees can be.


James Beattie another.

[Parm]

10 mill for Richard Wright?

Ok may have been a bit harsh about Duff being a complete flop but when Chelski saw the chance to get rid of him they bit Newcastles hands off.
As for Cerespo, I dont think he really set Chelski or the league on fire.

Bit harsh on Casiraghi. His leg fell off after somthing like 5 games for the Chavs and he was forced to retire;

[kev776]

Arsenal winger striker who buggered off to Lyon on a free, cost them 14m

[kev776]

Chris Kirkland (Liverpool)
