More Terrible Signings Outside the Premiership

10. Dmytro Chygrynskiy - Barcelona €25 million- Played 14 games and was sold back to Shakhtar  Donetsk at a €10m loss.
  9. Alberto Aquilani - Liverpool - €20m approx – Back at Liverpool after a loan spell at Juventus.   Whether he’ll play or not is anyone’s guess.
  8. Alex Hleb – Barcelona - €17 – Loaned out after one season
  7. Elvir Baljic - Real Madrid from Fenerbache - 2009, €26 million - Loaned back to Fenerbache a year later
  6. Adrian Mutu  -  Chelsea - €22.5 million - Failed a drugs test in his second season, and Chelsea sacked him soon afterwards. They were later awarded 17 million in compensation but it’s under appeal so they are yet to receive anything.
 5. Gianluigi Lentini - Milan £13m, a world record in 1992. A serious car crash didn’t help.
 4. Denilson - Real Betis – £21.5, a lot of money in 1998
 3. Kaka – Real Madrid - €65 – Isn’t playing bad but crazy price
 2. Gaizka Mendieta  - Lazio €48 million. Loaned out after one season
 1. Zlatan ibrahimovic – Barcelona - €46 million plus Samuel Eto'o (who is actually better than the lazy lump). Loaned to AC Milan after one season then sold them at a reported €24m.
