Worst premiership transfer?

Oranage2 · 2015-06-04 02:36:46

With this season over I think we have another 2 to challenge the other 2 big failed transfers of all time. 1. Andy Carroll - 35m, at the time he was something like the 8th highest transfer of all time to but it into context. Anyone in world football could see he was a donkey with fitness problems and less than professional…

United spending 60m on a player is equivalent to another PL club spending far far less, such is the difference in finances.

It's less, as a proportion of United's income, than Liverpool's 35m for Carroll for example. So to include him in this discussion when the Carroll transfer is a thing that happened is laughable.

Nonsense, money spent is money spent.
