It's actually really hard to find many £80m+ signing in football that can be considered a success. The failure rate of them is unreal.

Kane and Rice this season have both been really good signings with the possibility of 0 trophies between them. Tbf - this season is probably the first in a while there could be 3 successful ones (Bellingham, Kane, Rice) but looking at the list below you could probably consider Felix, Fernandez, Coutinho, Griezmann, Caicedo, Lukaku, Dembele, Pogba, Hazard, Antony and Maguire all to have failed, at least so far. Grealish questionable given the money involved. Considering the huge sums you're spending, you would expect the hit rate to be much better than that.

There's more flops than successes and the jury still very much out on most of the recent ones (Rice, Kane and Bellingham aside).

Morata, Higuian, Falcao, Pato, Aubameyang, Kezman and Mutu. Quite ironic their best striker ever arrived as a relatively unknown with only a handful of decent seasons in European football under his belt.

Most of their under the radar signing that were overshadowed by the big money ones were there best and some of the best in Europe at the time. Cech, Drogba, Robben, Carvalho, Lampard and Gudjohnston. They could have signed Ronaldo in his prime and he'd have flopped. Last decent striker they had since Drogba was Costa and he was a head case. barrymorrison1, PromDeAnglais and Somemightsay7 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
