He was bought under Frank, no?

He got my vote as well. Pep didn't buy well at all, although it wasn't all down to him.

Pep made some great signings like Alves, Villa and Fabregas. He also made some terrible ones like the ones in the poll though. He wasn't as bad at signings as people say he was IMO, but his signings were definitely hit-or-miss.

If you search Keirrison on YouTube it's basically highlights of him just taking penalties.
Every time EA bring out their crappy new FIFA game he is in Barca's squad on loan and you have to wait 2 years before you can get rid.
However, I voted Chygryinskiy.
But if I knew Keirrison cost that much, I probably would have voted him.

Ibrahimovic...
Chygy, "The new Romario" and even Hleb were clearly risks and not superstars promising to impress or anything. They had to pay a lot for the ukrainian because Akhmetov had no financial needs and it was logical thinking the player was actually promising at his age as a central defender. What happened to him happens to many EE players who sign for Western big clubs, usually because it's done too early and they fail to adapt into another world.
Ibrahimovic...was brought for a huge sum of money... NOT ONLY THIS, but he was brought as a mega transfer despite never convincing me while at Inter where he had his moments but not even close to how many lauded him, never being able to show his best in European matches or fitting in the way Pep imagined the dressing room. 70 million for a 28 year old isn't a deal unless you are buying Maradona from Napoli and you have to cover his debts to the Camora or something...REALLY, bad move.
I don't believe the crap in his book written by a journalist who wants to sell a lot, it's clear that by spring, both him and Pep realized it was a mistake and started looking for offers cause he didn't fit in a system with Messi central forward. I would've liked for things to go better but he wasn't close enough to the club to sacrifice himself for it and Guardiola should've known that before he asked Laporta to pay for him.
