The WORST Signing in World Football EVERY Year (1995-2020)

From Sunderland signing Jack Rodwell for £10 million from Manchester City in 2014 to the recent transfer of Eden Hazard for more than £100 million from Chelsea to Real Madrid, HITC Sevens takes a look at some of the worst signings made in the Premier League, La Liga, and across world football / soccer every year since 1995.

Coutinho went for 145 million and after a season at Barca was loaned to Bayern. That's crazy.

Mendieta was very good while he was with Boro, helped us win the league cup and qualify for Europe, as well as get to a uefa cup final.
He was brilliant in his first 2 seasons for us.

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

[michiadams]

2008 should defenetly have been Breno, man literaly burned his house down and went to jail for it while on the books of Bayern Munich

[cowboy]

Mentions veron in for Chelsea.. ignores that Veron signed for more than double for united and was even worse

[knotwilg]

Given Ibra's career for and aft, it remains a bit of a mystery how Barça managed to not using his extraordinary abilities.

[lankydosser]

The title said “world football” this is 90% premier league

[dylansaccount]

griezmann is starting to turn the ship around, and his perfomances this season are better each game.

[smedleybelkin]

7:06 Says Bruno Cheyrou, shows us Milan Baros.

[Esq]

When Zlatan have a bad season he scores 22 goals.

[asifshahriar]

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.

[matthewmcgregor]

I’m a Sunderland fan and love when we get a mention it’s just a shame it’s always for the wrong reasons 😆

[kagisokekana]

You can't lie we all came to see Kepa

[rishabh]

Van De Beek has started getting regular game time now.. and is already proving his worth in the box to box role..

[yaboiskinnypenis]

Make a video of the most iconic moment in football from every year since 2000

[porassrivastava]

Chelsea got so much history even before the take over that they've historically bad transfers as well

[ineffectualgamer]

Mendieta was a good Boro player and helped up win our first silverware. He loved the Boro so much he still lives close by in Harrogate.

[gogorecords]

Every one says "Ibrahimovic was the worst signing of 2010 ".
The truth is that Ibra was fine at Barcelona (46caps/22goals) and a brilliant player in general, but the DEAL was awfull.. So stop telling that Ibra sucked in Barcelona.

[dumbmutts.]

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.

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.
