In a season in which a number of transfers have not had the desired impact who would you consider to be the 5 worst signings?
Shortlist :
Alexandre Lacazette 46.5m
Alvaro Morata 60m
Tiemoue Bakayoko 40m
Danny Drinkwater 35m
Michael Keane 30m
Davy Klaassen 24m
Tom Ince 11m
Victor Lindelhof 31m
Alexis Sanchez - Obscene wages
Kevin Wimmer 18m
Wilfried Bony 12m
Fernando Llorente 12m
Javier Hernandez 16m
Jordan Hugil 10m
I will go for.
1. Tiemoue Bakayoko 40m - There's better players to be found in the local park on a Sunday morning. Whoever sanctioned this should be in some serious bother at Chelsea. They will struggle to recoup even half of the fee.
2. Alexandre Lacazette 46.5m - Had nothing like the desired impact, struggled for game time and only 6 months later Wenger decided to go for an even bigger named forward meaning his game time will continue to suffer. I expect him to be around next season and maybe (fingers crossed Arsenal/Football fans) under another manager he will show us what he's made of.
3. Davy Klaassen 24m - Why oh why? Part of Ronald Koemans attempts to create a team of number 10s. A catastrophic waste of money and to make matters worse a refusal to leave on loan when an offer came in from Napoli. The most blatant waste of money Everton has ever seen.
4. Tom Ince 11m - A huge signing for a team of Huddersfield's stature who has been woeful infront of goal with the worst chances to goal ratio in the league. His costly misses throughout the season will condemn Huddersfield in my opinion. Any watchers of BT Sport Score will be fully aware of the pain Paul Ince suffers consistently watching Tom fluff his lines.
5. Alexis Sanchez - Mammoth wages - First off he's a hugely talented player as we are all aware but he struggled for form at Arsenal for 6 months then joined United and got much worse. Add to that his introduction seems to have ruined any cohesion in the team and marginalised the two biggest prospects at the club in Rashford and Martial.
Who is in your 5? Feel free to add whoever you want, the shortlist just a list of flop signings I could come up with.

Alexis Sanchez - Obscene wages
————————————————
Decide to include wages on this one? But not the others? Seems fair.
Only one who was free, you decide to include wages.

Lindeloff at no.1. Reminds me of Djimi Traore.
Then pick 4 of Koeman signings at Everton at any order from Keane, Klaasen, Martina, Schneiderlin and Sigurdsson.

If any Liverpool fan had the choice of a front 3 who would they choose...
Sane Firmino Salah
or
Sturridge(fit) Suarez Sterling

Mane Firmino and Salah every day.

Clucas 16 million
Ruben Neves 15 million

Once you get in the prem watch your transfer fees skyrocket. Prem teams charge a lot for their players and foreign clubs charge a bomb to prem teams as they know they have the cash.
It’s very rare you find a Mahrez or Kante.

Sturridge Suarez and Sterling for me.
Watched a video on Sturridge 2013 season last night. All those idiots saying we only did well because of Suarez are jokers. Sturridge was amazing that season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Depends if we had coutinho behind both? we know how ones handled the loss of him but Coutinho pulled the strings that year for Sterling and Sturridge and Suarez. And Hendo was probably in the best form of his career.
Id go with Mane Firm and Salah because the way they handled the loss of Coutinho and with overall porbably a weaker mf behind them. That said theyve probably had better fullbacks supplying more.

Schneiderlin wasn't signed this season you dope, and Martina was a free. The Ox was a worse signing than Sigurdsson, Sig will come good, the Ox has always been bang average.

I’m hearing lots of good things about Neves. I think he would be a decent signing for us.

An enormous difference between playing for Wolves in the championship and Liverpool at the top end of the premier league.

Surprised not to see Pogba in the list.

Another under the radar flop is Southampton signing Guido Carrillo for ~£20m. Needed goals so spunked it on some random Monaco squad player
