Who do you think is the worst premiership buy ever? There has to be one person who stands out most. Think about money paid, performance, goals, time with the club etc.
Obviously Shevchenko will be mentioned but its a bit early to say. I'd go with Veron.

We at Newcastle specialise in signing donkeys for lots of money. Currently, a £10m international striker (Luque in case you don't know) cannot even get a place on the bench in front of a 17 year old youth team player! Prior to this, we already remember the international defender costing over £8m who went to the World Cup don't we? Yes kids, I give you Jean Alain Boumsong, a man now playing in the Italian second division. That is without even mentioning Marcelino, a £6m defender. He wouldn't play for about 6 weeks due to a finger injury!
Beat that people!!

with out doubt the infamous Ali Dia of Southampton,bought by potential of Graeme Souness after he gained a telephone call from somebody who claimed to be international participant of the year George Weah who claimed Dia replaced into his cousin and a Senegalese worldwide with a playing historic past that took in Paris saint- germain among others.drawing close for Matthew Le-tissier against Leeds giving a overall performance that extremely replaced into unbelievably undesirable.

well OK veron waste off money
maybe he didn't adapt to the english game as well as we thought he would
well i must say that wasn't his fault really (I'm a man u fan)
sheva yes 30 million come on even veron wasn't that much
biggest flop ever at thirty yrs old he is clearly past his best
i mean he should have stayed with Milan

Well I can't remember the name of the player but that player Graeme Sounes brought to Southampton. The one that was not even a real footballer, just a complete fraud. Funny thing is he nearly scored.

veron may be because not thinking of the money he was so useless. Man u wasted money because they thought he was worth it but chelsea splashed money on sheva because they had a lot and have been known for overpricing players shevys contribution have also bettered verons own so i will also go for VERON

ak in bad buy also known as akinbiyi at Leicester, the ironic thing is he scored a brilliant goal in the striker cartoon in the sun, when in real life he struggled to score if he was standing on the goal line and the ball hit him.
