Off Topic Worst players bought after world cup or any International competition

They say you can't judge a book by its cover, performance during international competition does not mean that a player is going to fit in well into the premiership.
To me, the worst player Liverpool bought after international competition is,
El Hadji Diouf

Why don't you just say the crap houlier brought lol

 

Related question; worst manager to go from international to club after a tournament?

Anyone worse than the Van Gaal #tacticalgenius hype #fail ? Until Roy's next appointment that is?

 

antonio conte

 

FA have to sack him first.

 

To be fair to Diouf he wasn't that bad a player. However he went for relatively big money and was an absolute scumbag so he could be one of the worst.

How about James Rodriguez who although undoubtedly talents is not worth 63m quid.

 

Just beat me to the James comment, overrated for sure, £63m for him was absolutely crazy

 

diouf was a one hit wonder. he never hit any level really. he had what 4/5 clubs after lfc and never did much and kept going down in level for each move. at bolton he got 5/6 goals a season max for a forward??

james i agree not worth the vast fee but he has talent. he was just hugely over paid for and then not given a central role for real. I'm sure he could be better than where he's at now for another club some place

 

Salif Diao anyone?

 

prob better example

Diouf was bought BEFORE the world cup on the basis of performances in ANC and lens

Was diao bought before or after world cup...

we need to remember zidane went for 46.5million so diouf cost 11mil or 1/4 today's record is 86mil for bale (mad btw) it could be 150mil this summer i dunno.. but I guess for LFC doiuf at the time was probably the equivalent of carroll

 

Wiki says before?

 

That's only 20 million then. When the likes of ross mcormark at +10m, Bentekers at 36.5m, Balotelli last chance saloon at 16m its all relative chump change.

 

Scolari.

 

He scored 17 goals and got 18 assists in his first season. That is a terrible shout by you, Bobby.

 

Coates was a waste of money as well.

Wasn't Kleberson another one?

 

**** you I know where this is headed

 

Anyway folks there is one that stands out a mile.. Roque Junior to Leeds

He was sent off on his debut and they conceded 24 times in his seven appearances lol

 

Where ??..

 

Obviously.... Gazza's move to Spurs. He should've come to United instead

 

Perhaps he is not going to be Alcoholic or worse.
