Silly to put Ilori there. One of the brightest young defensive prospects in Europe. 21, clearly bought for the future.
Aspas should be up there.

judging transfers within just a year is very premature. if you spend 20m+ on a player in their 20s, you're not buying one year of service, you're buying their prime playing years. if you spend that kind of money on a younger player, you're buying potential. either way, at least give them a season to bed-in before writing them off.

any worst transfers list made after just a year should really only be made up of players who have absolutely zero future at the club. Fellaini's been poor, but I'm more keen to trust the very large sample size that says he has talent than the small sample size where literally everything that could go wrong for Utd did go wrong where he played poorly. something like Soldado was far worse, because Spurs bought him relying solely upon his goals to win games and his inability do so completely derailed their season—and even then, I'm not ready to say he's definitively never going to be a productive player in the future.

I genuinely have no idea who Ilori is.

Portuguese CB, signed for £7m. Fast as an airborne virus, as tall as a very tall thing, Very good on the ball too. On loan at Granada, and by all accounts he's impressed in the Caribbean. Though from what I've seen his positional play isn't brilliant but his pace makes up for it. He's raw.

Eligible to play for England too.

Ricky Van Wolftingy gotta be up there on those lists

And that Villa bloke, Tonev or something like that. Diabolically bad.

Ilori and Ozil up there is a bit harsh imo.

I have to say, the NBA salary cap is one of the stupidest things ever. Gotta keep Kobe and sign either LeBron or Melo, can't have them both. That would be unfair, right.
But those guys down in Miami can have whatever they please. All this does is make players conspire and crap.

I can't really complain though:

Lukaku
Bony
Fernandinho

I disagree with this. James McCarthy needs to be somewhere on the list.

Puncheon was being slated by Palace fans until a month ago lol

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much

Negredo really shouldn't be on that list. Eto'o has the same goals of him with a third fewer appearances. Ade has more goals and he only played half a season!

How does the NBA salary cap work. I always wondered how Miasanmiami got such a good team. I thought they all just took pay cuts.

That's what happened. They all took pay cuts. I don't now how it all works though. I know some basic principles at best.

Imagine Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema having to take a pay cut to play together. What a dumb concept.

The big three took pay cuts when they came to miami and the others have little or minimum salary.

The only thing big about Bosh is his height, bby.

Forgive my ignorance but what's dumb about that? They put potential success ahead of money. Sounds fair enough.

Kobe needs to GTFO or take a paycut surely. He's basically preventing Lakers from being competitive again isn't he?
