Nah Sanchez is worse. Not only is he useless on the pitch, he hosed up United's whole wage structure and is causing other people to also demand Januzaj-level wages.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Diego Forlan? Considering how good he was before and after his time at United.

Nah, as much as Torres was a shadow of his Liverpool self and Forlan took ages to produce fairly meager results, Sanchez has got to be on a level of his own.

I can't be arsed to check, but I'll be surprised if he's put in more than 5 good games for United since he's been here. He's on astronomical wages and is actively the worst player in the team almost every time he plays. And because he's on such insane wages, United can't shift him either.

Stand up and take a bow for your legacy, Jose.

Forlan wasn't nearly as bad as he was made out to be when he was at United. Sure he didn't score like he was supposed to but he worked hard and didn't actively make the team worse when he was on the pitch like Alexis does.

At least they didn't pay a transfer fee for Sanchez. They even got an expensive useless player off their books.

Maybe Soldado at Spurs? Club record at the time for a transfer fee, scored 7 in 52. Torres was terrible too 20 in 110 is pretty similar.

If your suggestion for worst signing of all time is a guy who scored less goals than expected and didn't explosively meltdown or turn out to be a scam artist then he's almost certainly not the worst.

My suggestions are Andy van der Meyde, straight red on his debut, became an alcoholic, fell in love with a Liverpool stripper which ended his marriage and made 20 appearances over 5 years or a comedy write in vote for fatty Thomas Brolin at Palace especially when the new owner tried to make him assistant manager to Lombardo and Ali Dia if one month contracts count.

Totally fair, I would imagine the responses from people following the league for more than the last decade are going to be way funnier/accurate.

Yeah, I thought about including him but what happened to him is utter bullshit especially given the level of organised cheating that has taken place since that time with governments actively surpressing investigations

I think Zlatan to Barca for 50 million and Eto the other way is hilariously bad given the context, not suggesting that Zlatan was bad or that it was his fault in any way but just from every angle it's a real doozy.

Other notables are Denilson in '98 to Betis for 5 billion pounds scoring 13 goals in 186 appearances, and maybe Robbie KEane to boyhood club Inter.

I'd blame that on having to play alongside the legend that is Titus Bramble, I'm sure he said there were things going on his personal life as well although I have no idea what that consisted of or even if it was real.

Ali Dia has to be the winner there.

El-Hadji Diouf to Liverpool might be a distant second or third given what was foresaken to make it happen. I’m sure others can think of

Van Der Meyde was pretty bad too. I like how he blamed much of his troubles on having to turn down Monaco for Everton because his wife wouldn’t have room for her exotic animal collection in Monaco. He also had a big cocaine problem.
