Well, they know how it goes. Sometimes you buy a product that looks tempting, promising high quality and longevity, only to find out that it’s an entirely overpriced piece of junk. It’s sometimes the same with soccer players.
It is not easy to buy a quality player for good money. Even the best managers sometimes disappoint. They sign a footballer who rocks like a god, but by the time he moves to a new club, he is just a shadow of his former self.
This happens in many football leagues and in the best competition in the world – English Premier League. We have picked out the 13 worst transfers in the history of the English Premier League that managers regretted signing.
The Croatian striker Boško Balaban featured in Aston Villa’s starting lineup in two games and was substituted six times. He did not score a goal and soon returned to Dinamo Zagreb, from which he left for England in 2001. The Times says he is one of the fifty worst players ever to play in the Premier League.
