I'll come right out and say I don't watch the french league....ever

But I know he's in the top 10 for goals and top 15-20 for assists, could you really flop that hard with those kind of stats?

Means sod all tbf.....many examples of inferior players having superior stats...

For example Shola Ameobi has the 5th best G/A stats per minute in the Premier League

Downing hands down

Shola is suffering

Is gervinho a transfer flop ?

Clearly Elia.....or do you need consistent time to be a flop?

In that case, I'd have to go with Zapata who was hyped to death for years.Got Villareal relegated.

Nah selling Cazorla and injuries to Rossi and Nilmar did that......

Park.
Zapata.
Coentrao... meh... nah.

AVB and Downing seem like good bets

50 -50 split

I'd say it's fair to say they would not have got relegated had he not been on the team.

What about a worst XI of the season consisting entirely of transfer flops

What do you think of my poll ?

For a player that went for 40m, you expect more then 12 goals and 5 assists in the sixth best league.

He was poor for most of the season, and only picked up his performance late in the season. 3 of those goals and 2 assists came in 3-4 games near the end.

I think Bojan shouldn't be there at all. I know expectations were quite big , but i don't know , i don't even consider him as a flop to be honest.

As for Park Chu Young , unless you are a 14 year old Korean fangirl in love with him, i don't see what exactly someone would expect from him this season , for him to be considered a transfer flop

Taiwo it is . He couldn't even stay and flop properly , he went in England to flop even more there too

How so? Its not like their defense was horrible...it was average
It was their offense that got them relegated - 39 goals in 38 games ffs...

Park turned out to be a Bebe like transfer in the end(Not comparing player quality mind you)..I dunno how much Arsenal paid for him but i guess his future may not be with Arsenal anymore.

Roma paid 13m for Bojan but he hardly lived up to his hype in my opinion..Another player who looks set to be offloaded.

Taiwo

Conceeded 10 more goals than last year to be fair.

i know but , Park's just a youngster ; i am not sure if he was expected to star this season for Arsenal or i don't know , have a break out season!

As for Bojan , it's debatable , i won't deny it. I would need more though than his price tag , he hasn't done that bad i think.. not what was expected , but it could have been worse.

Downing's presence makes this poll a one horse race

no one said Andy Carroll?

For a guy who cost so much money, and who should have been the central piece of liverpool's attack, he flopped big time.

He should have had a better season considering liverpool's style of football suits him perfectly.

If you don't watch Liverpool, there's no point in throwing out random names fed to you by the media.

When a player of the quality of Bojan is not needed at Roma anymore,it does speak volumes..This is not about how good or how bad he did but clearly this transfer did not work out in the way Roma who would've thought..

And Park is almost 27 Dante

He should have had a better season considering Kenny's cross-it-to-Carrol football suits him perfectly.

much better

0 goals 0 assists for £16 million

I also read a stat that he took 72 shots.You cant flop any harder than that.
