So I'm not asking about teams signing bad players here, I'm asking which players have made poor career moves. I'll set the ball rolling with Jordan Veretout in 2015 https://www.dreamteamfc.com/c/news-gossip/259784/aston-villa-leicester-jordan-veretout/
Ibrahimovic from Milan to Barca. Sahin to Real Madrid Torres to Chelsea Turan to Barca Mendietta to Lazio
It was a bad, bad move. Completely demolished his confidence and ended his career, wasn't he personal buddies with Abramovic?
Yeah apparently Abramovic didn’t even ask the manager. Just went out and bought him. Wasn’t sure on him because I think he signed when he was about 30 and had already had a very good career. Did sort of ruin his legacy though.
Was Inter but yeah, badly timed. Misused at Barca to the point I actually thought he was crap. Incorrectly.
Not sure. Pep signed him, why would he then waste him? Zlatan didn't fit into that Barca ideal, he's a big number nine. They never really played that way. Although David Villa did well for a bit, more or less as a number 9.
It was ridiculous that Barca paid something like Etoo + £30m (when 30 mill was a lot) and Etoo was still in his prime at the time. It was definitely one of those where the board bought the player not the manager.
And Eto'o went the other way and won the treble with Inter! Zlatan was the wrong man in the wrong team.
