Andrey Arshavin, Sébastien Squillaci, Gervinho, André Santos, Park Chu-young and Marouane Chamakh. To name but some. I know we like to laugh at Torres, but have we made more mistakes than others signing players, and if so, why?

Yep, I reckon we're the only club who sign players that don't work out.
Not the point. I know I am centred on AFC but I would honestly like to know objectively how we measure up...or whether we are bleating over nothing when it comes to our overpaid failures.Quote:
