First one to come to mind is Andy Robertson, I thought it was bonkers paying £10m for a LB from a relegated team, I wasn’t even convinced he was going to be a starter over Milner/Clyne etc.
Zlatan I thought would be rubbish at Barca given how overrated he was and the fact there was a huge cash adjustment on top of eto’o going the other way. When he scored those goals against England I finally accepted he wasn’t a complete waste of space.
I couldn’t see how Collymore was worth £8.5m in an era where the likes of Bergkamp and Cole where going for less than that, but he had some good games for Liverpool. Similarly in summer 2007 Darren Bent cost more than Thierry Henry (W.T.F.) but did oo on the following years
