Top 5 Transfer Flops of All Time
2) Fernando Torres – 50 million – Liverpool to Chelsea
In 2009 Fernando Torres was the finest striker on the planet and one of the best players in the world. But then came a knee injury that almost put him out of the 2010 World Cup. It was an injury that ruined the magic of Torres.
Chelsea just like the rest of the world thought that Torres would eventually recapture his best form which is why they spent so much on him. But it just did not work out for Torres at Stamford Bridge.
He did make vital contributions along Chelsea’s 2012 Champions League triumph. An assist for the crucial away goal in the quarter finals against Benfica, the epic solo goal against Barcelona in the semi and also the one who created the corner for Drogba’s header in the final and the goal in the Europa League final.
