a few harsh ones there tighty but one that sticks out a imo is the worst chelsea signing ever cos i sat through all 40 games:

9 Robert Fleck, Norwich to Chelsea, £2.1m, August 1992

The Scottish striker was a cult hero at Carrow Road but a carthorse at Stamford Bridge, where he scored five times in 40 league appearances.

Who was it who Chelsea signed but he never played, or hardly ever played and just enjoyed a rather large salary instead?

Daniel Prodan deserves a mention.  We parted with £2.2m and he never played a game for us due to a serious knee injury which he had when we signed him.

Im not standing for this Robert Fleck was a childhood hero, there was no better person at winding up the opposition fans or taking the longest to get subbed when we were winning. He was a decent player at Norwich.

The truth is though it sounds stupid now, Norwich were a better team with better players in the late 80's, early 90's than Chelsea and maybe that was part of his failure at Chelesa.

What about the guy Malcolm Alison signed for Man. City for what was then a record £1.5M, Steve Daley ?

The one that sticks in my memory is Marco Boogers.  Signed by West Ham, did nothing, ended up living in a caravan and having a nervous breakdown.
