So much excitement... so much money... so much disappointment
1. Fernando Torres – Liverpool to Chelsea, 2011 (£51.5m)
Torres was already suffering from injury and confidence issues during the latter stages of his once-impressive time at Anfield. But that would only get worse following his mega move to Chelsea.
His debut resulted in a 1-0 defeat to the Reds and he went on a 903-minute goal drought that lasted two months, ending it against West Ham – his only goal of that campaign. As if that wasn’t enough, he continued to struggle in subsequent seasons.
