Gordon was a shocking one that didnt make sense from the start, unless Newcastle were thinking of home grown points. Even so, apart from his footballing ability, his poor character and attitude at Everton was clear for all to see from his behaviour. Perez is a great example too, and it shows how much poor business Leicester have done alongside the good (they were seen as the best run club in England at one point). As a Wolves fan, that Cutrone deal still haunts us mentally to this day, at least Fabio Silva is now looking worth it though.

Never thought I'd see Sturaro in an HITC 7s video

Some West Ham players come to mind like Jonathan Calleri,Jordan Hugill, Gotham tore and regouli

Sturaro never even played for Sporting, he was injured and then his loaned got terminated in January. So not even a season on loan

Piątek is harsh. He was actually good at Genoa, and the half season in Milan after he joined in January. But then he fell out of favor because Ibrahimović, and then left to join the basket case of a club that is Hertha Berlin, who are basically the German Everton on steroids, and have 0 clue what they're doing. Sure, he was poor at Milan besides that half season, but so was the entire team. Hope he can revive his career elsewhere

Given Gordon’s stats and his general attitude you would have to say Newcastle paid way over the odds.

Surely this should just be a list Chelsea's 2022-23 transfer signings

I love how even if this video is not worst transfers ever, it feels even worse than that, this feels like there was no reason to sign this guys and unsurprisingly they failed, which makes for a dreadful signing.

Jordon Ibe - what can I say? I thought it was a ridiculous fee at the time, and despite a handful of performances that showed glimpses of his potential at Bournemouth, he was mostly a passenger. His fitness was an issue, but noises coming from Dean Court suggested that his attitude was a greater problem. It's worth saying that while Eddie Howe may seem like the loveliest guy in football, he can be very ruthless when it comes to players that don't fit with his method (see also Tyrone Mings and Jack Wilshere at Bournemouth - Matt Ritchie and Ryan Fraser (ironically) at Newcastle).

That pic of Drinkwater drinking water is brilliant 😂😊

1:18 This joke writes itself

My thoughts instantly go to Taiwo Awoinyi, Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Abdul-Rahman Baba. All 3 have the same story: They played one good season for mid-tier to low-tier Bundesliga teams and then the Premier League was like "We need them and will play 20 Million Euros for him." Chelsea paid 26 Million for Baba in 2015, just to loan him out 7 times. He will return to Chelsea this summer... He played 23 games for Chelsea...

​@@olanrewajumartins759 He actually scored twice this weekend... that makes a massive difference. It really does, since that 2 goals might keep Nottingham from relegation. But that also points out the massive inflation in the Premier League: If you pay 20 Million for a striker, that doesn't even score 10 goals, in any other league, it is considered a massive flop. Then again, bottom half teams can never spend that kind of fee...

Too early to speak on Gordon. £40m is actually cheap for any above average English footballer these days. I get what people say about his behaviour, but he has that arrogance of a player who wants to be one of the best. I think with his personality he will work hard to improve himself as a player.

At least so far this season - you've been absolutely spot on

Title unfair I’d say. There are no average footballers in the Prem, or the championship ……. I used to share a 5 a side pitch with a middle aged guy who ruled every game. He had stuff the rest of us simply didn’t possess - immaculate 1st touch and control, awareness, vision, passing ……. turned out in his younger years he was attached to Tranmere Rovers making a few first team appearances but generally playing for the reserves. Honestly this guy knew how to play football and my mind boggled at the level top flight players must perform. So I’ll repeat there are NO average players in the premier league. If you require further qualification pick up a copy of Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby and read the chapter titled Gus Caesar. Says it better than I can.

Seth Johnson is a Derby legend. Helping bankrupt Leeds and then coming back to Derby. Leeds couldn't afford to pay Derby the extra (appearance based) transfer fee so gave him back for nothing.

Anthony Gordon is a Jabroni. ⚽️

Contribution of Peter Walton in a BT studio had me in tears

wow. never thought i’d hear seth johnson’s name again. i started watching football around the time of his move to leeds and was under the impression that he was a big star. 🤣

7 lower tier teams that played international. Just came across CA Patronato from Argentina, they were relegated to the second division last season but won the cup so they are playing in the Copa Libertadores right now. Also there was FC Vaduz from Liechtenstein that qualified for the Conference League this season despite playing in the second division in Switzerland. In Germany till a couple years ago you wouldn't even need to win the DFB-Pokal to qualify for europe, the runner-up got into the euro league if the winner already qualified for CL/EL, so we had a couple of relegated teams that reached the cup final and played international the following season. These are just some examples that came to mind, I'm sure there are some other interesting storys espacially outside europe.

I was there when Jordon Ibe scored his debut professional goal as a 15 year old, shame things never worked out for him.
