I'd Have to go with
-Diego Forlan - he was never man u quality
-Riquelme - A disappointment who will never play for barcelona again
-Walter Samuel - What a disgrace
-El hadji Diouf - A good player but underacheived at Liverpool
-Gerrard(Barcelona) - Do u believe they payed 14 million euros for him and he's never completed a full season without being injured
-Mendieta - A great player for valencia, but couldn.t make the cut in italy
-David Becham - Honestly, what difference(other than selling a couple more shirts in japan has he made in his 2 years at real madrid)
-Denilson - This dude scores one goal per season

veron, but that should have been expected going to england.
beckham wasnt a flop. with his tshirts sales, real actually earned money by acquiring him.

-Denilson - This dude scores one goal per season
-Diego Forlan - never had a real chance to perform his agility in man u, its not his style, and perhaps he is a better striker than saha.
-Riquelme - never got a real chance in la liga, you are no football expert, because you should now by now, that van gaal never asked for his transfer at barcelona. therefore he never started with riquelme, and when rijarrk came he asked for ronaldinho, so riquelme never got a chance. but so far at villareal he is doing awesome, he humilliated midlesboro in the uefa match, and so far he is top assister in la liga with xavi, and other individuals
-Walter Samuel - I agree I never thought he fit in la liga
-El hadji Diouf - A good player but underacheived at Liverpool (he doesnt fit in the premier league!
-Gerrard(Barcelona) - Do u believe they payed 14 million euros for him and he's never completed a full season without being injured, its called (AIMAR)
good player but bad luck during the season
-Mendieta - A great player for valencia, but couldn.t make the cut in italy
I agree horrible player, I dont like him anymore
-David Becham - Honestly, what difference(other than selling a couple more shirts in japan has he made in his 2 years at real madrid)
I agree, in his position they should of selected a young player, he is not fit at real madrid

He was cheaper than Mendieta, and his performance was about 5 times as good as Gaizka's.
Kezman......
And you're an idiot.

And you're an idiot.He's scored 1 goal which was from a penalty compared to what he did in Holland.It shouldn't be that hard to be the starting striker for Chelsea as both Drogba and Gudjohnsson are not the best strikers around....

You are aware of what the thread title actually says right?
I think the tax people will be after Kez after you supply them with all those big money transfers he got by everybody.
Either that or you're an idiot...oh, wait, Nice already pointed that out ;)

Denilson hands down, at that time he had the highest paying transfer ever, now you hardly ever hear his name mentioned. Probably one of the biggest busts ever.

Biggest big money transfer flop ever was conducted by one Nick Leeson of Barings Bank in February of 1995. After that, I'd say Mendieta :).

Definitely Mendieta to Lazio. Did he do anything during his time in Italy?

He played the first couple of games and didn't show any of the brilliance he showed during Euro 2000 and with Valencia, so he fell out of favor with the coach and didn't play at all after that.
