Andrey Arshavin, Sébastien Squillaci, Gervinho, André Santos, Park Chu-young and Marouane Chamakh. To name but some. I know we like to laugh at Torres, but have we made more mistakes than others signing players, and if so, why?

Yep, I reckon we're the only club who sign players that don't work out.
Not the point. I know I am centred on AFC but I would honestly like to know objectively how we measure up...or whether we are bleating over nothing when it comes to our overpaid failures.Originally Posted by Grimandi's Perm

Liverpool /thread
Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
Well..... quite.
We've signed a fair few duffers but that's a natural consequence of going for bargains as the standard option. Other clubs end up with players that contribute just as little eventually though, it happens to all clubs. Look at Malouda, contributed to Chelsea at times (09/10) but now is their Arshavin essentially.
Gervinho £10,600,000
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain £12,000,000
Joel Campbell £950,000
Park Chu-Young £3,000,000
André Santos £6,200,000
Mikel Arteta £10,000,000
Per Mertesacker £10,000,000
Some fairly chunky fees in there?

Not really, I mean, not in football terms.
I'd love to know how much Swansea's squad cost. Anyone know how much Newcastle have paid for their Frenchies?
