[House of Flies]

You forget to add Gerard, Geovanni and Petit to the crap list.

And Saviola was a massive piece of shit

 

[Myrmecophile]

Chygrynskiy

 

[estranged]

And Saviola was a massive piece of shit

indeed. i never liked him but i didn't know we paid 35 million for him..back then..WOW

 

[xaviniesta]

dani, ronaldinho, eto'o, rivaldo, henry - top 5 signings
chygrynskiy, hleb, saviola, anderson, ibra - worst 5 signings

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Reflects, for me, the success of La Masia. The best players we got aint on that list

 

[adil_909]

indeed. i never liked him but i didn't know we paid 35 million for him..back then..WOW

and we also gave him massive wages so he refused to leave.

truly one of the worst pieces of business of all time

 

[mejji^]

indeed a lot of bad signings in there

but a lot of bad luck aswell

players who owned the shit at theyr old clubs (overmars/hleb/saviola/chyg/milito/anderson/etc) came to barca and started playing like shit

i think every club has a similar list

 

[impeh]

i have random love for Saviola


.. and obviously, Alves
what a beast.

 

[Chainsaw]

Saviola wasn't that bad.

 

[Myrmecophile]

He was good for a while. But never as good as his price tag. And after a couple of years he wasn't good enough. And on huge wages.

Gerard and Geovanni for nearly €50m

 

[adil_909]

Saviola wasn't that bad.

 

[Chainsaw]

I loved Saviola. Only his contract was so stupid. Gerard came with lots of hypes around him from his time with Valencia but he was such a pure waste.

 

[Chainsaw]

Try a bigger pig.

I'd say Deco was a way better signing than Henry. People forget how instrumental he was for us.

Caceres has to be the worst. Fuck me.
