  • Soccerex Transfer Review Summer 2016
    Soccerex Transfer Review Summer 2016 Premier League Clubs Count Cost of Unsuccessful Signings Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are the biggest culprits when it comes to over-spending on players, according to the Soccerex Transfer Review by Prime Time Sport. Memphis Depay, Christian Benteke and Son Heung Min represented the most unsuccessful signings from last season, based on league minutes played and the transfer fee paid. Depay joined Manchester United for €34m from PSV Eindhoven in May 2015 but has struggled to hold down a first-team place at Old Trafford and has only managed two league goals in 30 appearances. Belgium striker Benteke endured a frustrating single season at Anfield as he only managed nine league goals before being shipped out to Crystal Palace, while Son Heung Min has not featured regularly enough at White Hart Lane to justify his €30m transfer fee. Manchester United lead the way in terms of over-spending on players over the last four years, with the €75m signing of Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid in 2014 rated the biggest disappointment according to a lack of league minutes played. The fleet-footed Argentina winger was never an integral part of Louis Van Gaal’s reign at Old Trafford and was eventually shipped out to Paris Saint Germain after a single season at the Theatre of Dreams. Marouane Fellaini is the other Manchester United player to make the list, despite the Belgium international being part of Jose Mourinho’s encouraging start in the Old Trafford hot seat. In addition to Benteke, Liverpool also have Lazar Markovic and Mario Balotelli in the top ten and all three have since departed the club either on loan or via a permanent transfer.
