Barcelona's most expensive signings

[yusuf]

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.

sure buddy cacares the worst LMFAO.......its clear chiggy is the worst D signing we have made

 

[La Furia]

Caceres has to be the worst. Fuck me.

No.

Jesus Chris and his mother Mary... did we actually spend 40mill on Overmars alone, and more than enough on Saviola, Geovanni and Gerard?!

The fact that we paid 40mill for Villa in THIS economy a bit over a year back makes that Overmars transfer even more ridic.

Barcelona during the first half of the 00's had a special kind of charm. It's one of the reasons I became a fan actually, the complete ineptitude of the management was something special.

Bonano is still the worst. At any price what the fuck was he? Like an oversized toddler, but with eyesight and movement difficulties.

As much of a Goalkeeper as I am the Easter Bunny.

The amount of money wasted during the early noughties was nearing the point it actually ceased being funny, and instead turned our club into a circus ran by ham-fisted chimps.

 

[La Furia]

It still amazes me that Roberto Bonano had a career as long as he did.

 

[Lemmi]

A Banana would really have been more use, even with their comparatively short lifespans.

So 13 goods to 12 bads...

I guess most top clubs would have a similar record.

 

[Moe]

Tbh I think Milito was more of a "bad" than "good".

 

[La Furia]

Tbh I think Milito was more of a "bad" than "good".

Sadly he was, but he was a good signing, just incredibly unlucky after his first season.

Mind you injuries are enough to make a signing bad (see Overmars), but unlike Overmars, Gabi wasn't overpriced and it wasn't something we could see coming (regardless of what Madrid fans say, he had a perfectly good track record until that one injury ruined his career).

Plus while Barca had a lot of issues during his one good season, both Puyol and Marquez suffered serious injuries that year so without him we'd have been fucked.

 

[Catalonian Devil]

Tbh I think Milito was more of a "bad" than "good".

no

 

[10Rivaldo]

Tbh I think Milito was more of a "bad" than "good".

Agreed, if Barca weren't so successful nowadays he'd be considered a massive failure. He had what, good half of a season? For 20 million?

 

[House of Flies]

it would be sorta premature to judge cesc and sanchez to be honest.

anddd where is keirrison on this list? he was another 15 innit?
