    I meant big money flop, sorry for not making that clear.

    I disagree with the Torres suggestion, he has still scored important goals for Chelsea.

    for £50M I expect lots more goals, he is a flop for the value Chav FC paid for him

    Pound for pound I'd go with Shevchenko. Then again maybe that wasn't really the question.

    Bit harsh including a player whose career was ended by injury.

    Samba was good for Blackburn and we're not allowed to go for players who were good for one club and flopped elsewhere. We did get the money back though which detracts from his flop status. A similar story for Sutton I guess.

    Mutu looked good at times, his drug using was the reason he was ****ed off, not ability!

    Torres, Carroll, SWP, Shev, Bentley, Veron, Downing and Keane are the biggest that come to mind. Bebe also, I don't care if £7m isn't a great deal of money, whole transfer was a complete farce.

    <laugh> Forgot about Keane. The 6 month loan for £7mill, they could've bought Bebe for that!

    In terms of money I'd say Torres.
    In terms of expectation and potential I think Macheda. After that goal against Villa he became one of the most over hyped players in the history of the Premier League and has done **** all since.

    It would have to be Torres, despite having one very good season for Liverpool, along with Carroll, for me.

    All those years we were conned in to thinking he was doing great things at Everton and it turns out he was holding them back.

    80+ goals in 180+ games. If that's failure then there are a hell of a lot ahead of Torres.
