    Add Dele Alli into that as well, I don't know how many contracts he's signed at Tottenham but I think he's one of their higher earners.

    He didn't cost a world-record fee though.

    I bet you're thinking that Everton got a lucky escape.

    Indeed Matt, I'd have wept if we'd have shelled out £30m for that half arsed donkey

    I remember he turned up at the euro 2016 final but since then, he's done nothing to warrant the fee that Tottenham paid for him.

    Not seen any evidence yet of Pogba displaying Carlton Palmer's work rate. Does look a bit like him though.

    Sissoko easily, shocking buy.

    Pogba second.

    To be fair I think RDBD got to Mi and then thought **** it and just hit the keyboard. I'd have to copy it from somewhere.

    Sissoko's been very poor and deserves all the stick he's getting, but I might go for someone else.
    Bravo to City for £17.1m? Lots of money, quite old and he's been absolutely awful, while they loaned out a better keeper.
    John Stones for £47.5m's pretty poor value so far too, but he's got potential, at least.

    Non-Premier League, I'd have to highlight Ross McCormack for £12m from Fulham to Villa.
    He's 30, he flopped horribly, fell out with the manager and he's been loaned out to Forest already.

    Ignoring transfer fees, it has to be Bravo.
    Sheer incompetence, a goal keeper who cannot make saves.

    He is comically inept.

    I started watching the Leicester v City game with a mate of mine and was slagging him off as it kicked off.
    I hadn't finished taking the piss out of him before they went 2 goals down! <laugh>
    Literally didn't make a save all game.

    As I have said many times, everytime he gets the ball in a game, this music starts playing in my head

    Terrible call for worst signing. He's been a good player for us this season just has a tendency to try and kill someone every now and then! He's a strong player with a better passing range than a lot of DM types, just needs to work on what he is and isn't allowed to do on a football field.

    Sissoko and Bravo are definitely right up at the top of the list, both have been a waste of money.

    Pogba has been ok but at £90m could be argued is a bad signing despite not being a bad player. I think he will come good over time though.
