Four and a half million squid

2yrs later, off he bobs for no money having scored about 4 times in 20 games. Nice hair and teeth though

I don't think it was the real Brolin, probably Jane Torvill pretending

Here is Tomas Brolin with Martin Dahlin a few months ago

Did a little research on this player and found out he scored a hatrick for the usa u20 against Poland.I found this on youtube ignorant poor usa cometators thinking Adu is one of the best players in the world.

Everton seems to be a breeding ground for flops heres one.

Danny Cadamarteri

You can add Jeffers and Ball to that list. But they were flops that we got £16m for, and were only flops whn they left.

The only three I can think of under the Moyes era are Per krouldrup, Dickie Wright and Simon Davies.

His foot is standing upright but the rest of his body has stubbornly refused to play football anymore!

Pobbie · July 7th, 2007, 12:19 AM

Is that real? I know he broke his leg again, but in the same fashion? Poor guy!

clarky · July 7th, 2007, 12:42 PM

Anybody remember Ronnie Rosenthal of Liverpool 1990-1994

Jack Rabbit Slim · July 7th, 2007, 05:45 PM

Lol, I love those kind of moments, when it is actually harder to miss then it is to score!

It happens to the best as well though:

and people say 'oh that's painful to watch'...no, THIS is painful to watch:

Poor Phil Babb!

I hope they were never retreived.

Rangers excel in this category. Tore Andre Flo, Daniel Prodan, Gabriel Amato, Colin Hendry, Stefan Guivarch, Basile Boli, Marco Negri, Jonas Thern, Rosenthal ( Chilean player cost £4million when that was a lot ) probably at least ten thousand I'm missing off that list ( though that little lot cost nearly £40million and that was ten years ago the bulk of them ). Prodan got injured and never played a single game over two years ( then recovered and captained Romania again ), Rozenthal was injured when they signed him and basically stayed injured over a period of about four years. Marco Negri hit five goals on the opening day of the season, hit 31 by the end of October, injured his eye playing squash, took a huff and was never seen again - expect spending his vast wage packet over the remaining three years of his contract. Duncan Ferguson - then the British record transfer, went even further and managed a handful of games before getting sent to Barlinnie for his on the pitch antics, legend.

That wasn't quite true though was it Boards? He was sold to Everton who lost him for two months,because the Scottish FA are cunts. I'm glad he screwed them over.

Sean Dundee

Purchased with the intention of providing striking back-up for Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler, Sean Dundee achieved little more during his time at Anfield than enrage the Liverpool fans with questionable performances. Eyebrows were raised on Merseyside when Roy Evans splashed out on Dundee in 1998 after the rangy frontman had only managed three goals for Karlsruhe as they were relegated from the German top division. Unmoved and ever confident, the South-African-born Germany international publically declared in the press that he was 'as fast as Michael Owen' as his transfer was finalised, a statement that proved to be laughably inaccurate when he eventually made his debut. After failing to start a single game during his Premier League stint, making a meagre five appearances as substitute, Dundee was off-loaded to VfB Stuttgart after only one season. He has since played for Austria Vienna and now turns out for old club Karlsruhe. His legacy at Anfield is now assured by a glowing tribute on the club's official website, www.liverpoolfc.tv, who describe him as "quite possibly the worst player to have ever donned the red of Liverpool".

Wenger has generally been pretty canny and good buys outweigh bad, but:

Jose Antonio Reyes
Francis Jeffers
Pascal Cygan
