The most disappointing Premier League transfers in 2018/19, including Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United flops

The most disappointing Premier League transfers in 2018/19, including Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United flops

When Sir Alex Ferguson signed Eric Cantona for Manchester United in 1992, few anticipated just how much of an impact the striker would go on to have.


Having failed to sign Alan Shearer and David Hirst, the Scot found his team slumped in eighth place in the Premier League and floundering behind their rivals.

Eric Cantona went on to become a legend at Manchester United


But the enigmatic Frenchman saved the Red Devils’ season and – at a cost of just £1million from rivals Leeds United – proved to be a truly remarkable signing.


However, this is a rarity in today’s market and United are a prime example of that.


While their financial clout is certainly not to be sniffed at, the club’s policy of splashing the cash has seen them slip behind rials Manchester City and Liverpool.


United are not the only side to have fallen victim to this. With the influx of television money, clubs can afford to spend more money on signings than in previous years – meaning their transfer mistakes are all the more scrutinised.











This season has been no different and talkSPORT.com has compiled a list of the ten most disappointing signings from the 2018/19 season.


Scroll down to see if any of your club’s signings feature!


Jack Wilshere – West Ham United (Free)




Injuries have continued to plague Wilshere in the East End

Injuries have continued to plague Wilshere in the East End


After being informed by Unai Emery he was surplus to requirements at the Emirates, Wilshere decided to hop on the London Overground and join Manuel Pellegrini’s revolution at West Ham United.


However, after starting the first four games of the season and losing every single one, the England international underwent ankle surgery.


Speculation he would miss the rest of the season began to intensify, but the 27-year-old returned to action in April.


Appearances from the bench during the wins against Southampton and Watford suggest those who have written Wilshere off may be premature, but he has a lot to prove next season.


Gonzalo Higuain – Chelsea (Loan)




The Juventus striker has struggled against the best teams in the Premier League

The Juventus striker has struggled against the best teams in the Premier League


When Maurizio Sarri took over in the summer of 2018, it became apparent he wanted to replicate his success from Napoli.


‘Sarriball’ initially thrilled Blues fans, but as Jorginho began to suffer, so did the team.


Recruiting the Argentina international may not have been a long-term option, but Sarri hoped he would at least provide some short term relief.


But with a transfer ban incoming and with just five goals from 15 Premier League appearances, it is safe to say the Italian’s gamble on Higuain has not paid off.


Kenedy – Newcastle United (Loan)




Kenedy had an afternoon to forget in Wales – a game which summed up his season

Kenedy had an afternoon to forget in Wales – a game which summed up his season


Kenedy’s loan move from Chelsea to the Toon in 2018 proved to be a masterstroke by Rafael Benitez as the Brazilian (alongside Martin Dubravka) helped secure Premier League football.


However, a return to St James did not prove to be as successful for the 23-year-old.


His season at St James Park can be best summed up by one unforgettable afternoon against Cardiff City in August.


Having not completed a single pass in the first half and after having lashed out at Victor Camarasa, Kenedy then inexcusably missed a 95th minute penalty and the chance to secure all three points – disappointing to say the least.


Jean Michael Seri – Fulham (£25million)




Once courted by Barcelona and Arsenal, Seri looked out of his depth at Fulham

Fulham beating top clubs to the signing of Seri was probably the highlight of their season.


The Ivory Coast international shot to international prominence with Nice in Ligue 1 and had the biggest sides in Europe fighting over him.


However, it was Slavisa Jokanovic who pounced first and brought the 27-year-old to the Premier League.


The central midfielder looked off the pace and never adapted to the demands of English football.


Alireza Jahanbakhsh – Brighton and Hove Albion (£17million)




The Iranian is Brighton’s record signing and must start delivering for whoever replaces Chris Hughton

The Iranian is Brighton’s record signing and must start delivering for whoever replaces Chris Hughton


With skills as complicated as his surname, Brighton thought the signing of the Iranian trickster would take them to the next level in the Premier League.


But with Pascal Gross and Glenn Murray failing to fire, it became clear goals were hard to come by for the Seagulls.


Jahanbakhsh failed to record a single assist, nor did he score in his debut season in England.


Whoever replaces Chris Hughton at the Amex must now choose whether to stick with the 25-year-old or try and recoup some of the record £17million for him.


Stephan Lichsteiner – Arsenal (Free)




Unai Emery’s face says it all really

Unai Emery’s face says it all really


If you had told an Arsenal fan before the start of the season they would be signing a serial Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia winner from Juventus, few would have believed you.


If you had then said the player in question has more than 100 caps for his country and was known as ‘Forrest Gump’ in Italy, chances are the Gunners fans would have entered meltdown.


Alas, 35-year-old right-back Stephan Lichsteiner was never going to set the world alight, but his performances this season have been woeful.


With time not exactly on his side and Hector Bellerin closing in on a return from injury, do not expect to see the ‘Swiss Express’ feature too prominently at the Emirates next season.


Fred – Manchester United (£52million)




The diminutive midfielder will be desperate to show his quality next season

The diminutive midfielder will be desperate to show his quality next season


The last time Manchester City signed a Brazilian defensive midfielder from Shakthar Donetsk it ended up being rather beneficial.


But with Fernandinho nearing the end of his career, Pep Gaurdiola identified compatriot Fred as the ideal replacement.


But, as with Alexis Sanchez six months prior, United gatecrashed the party and pounced with a colossal £52m bid and snared the 26-year-old.


Fred surely has more to offer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the United boss begins his rebuilding job, but he must do so quickly or else find his name associated with the likes of Eric Djemba-Djemba and Massimo Taibi amongst those who frequent Old Trafford.


Mohamed Elyounoussi – Southampton (£16million)




As the season wore on, the Norway international’s confidence drained away

As the season wore on, the Norway international’s confidence drained away


Southampton thought they had snared a potential world beater when they made a £16million move for Norway international Elyounoussi last summer.


Tricky, skilful and with an eye for goal, the Basel forward earned comparisons with Mohamed Salah who also earned a Premier League move after impressing in Switzerland.


But unlike the Liverpool forward, Elyounoussi has struggled to carry his good form over to the Premier League with him.


The 24-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance at St Mary’s, but desperately needs to work on his consistency if he is to make it in the top-flight.


Joe Hart – Burnley (£3.5million)




Hart will surely struggle to get regular game time at Turf Moor now

Hart will surely struggle to get regular game time at Turf Moor now


When Pep Guardiola ruthlessly cut Hart from his Manchester City squad at the start of the 2016/17 season, fans and critics were stunned.


The England international had arguably been City’s most consistent player for several years and was England’s No.1


Fast forward three years and after loan spells at Torino and West Ham it is hard to argue with the Spaniard’s decision making.


Times have been equally tough at Turf Moor for the shot-stopper, who instantly usurped between the sticks by Tom Heaton upon his return to full fitness.


Max Meyer – Crystal Palace (Free)




Meyer hasn’t shown what all the hype is about at Palace yet

Meyer hasn’t shown what all the hype is about at Palace yet


Should you search online for videos of Max Meyer you will be inundated with compilations of goals, skills and technical brilliance.


Despite being linked with some of the biggest clubs in Europe, Schalke never cashed in on their star midfielder and he was allowed to run his contract down.


Having shown the technical ability to play as a both a holding or an attacking midfielder, Crystal Palace fans will surely have been delighted to see Roy Hodgson gleefully posing next to the 22-year-old.


But doubts about Meyer’s physical attributes have continued to blight the youngster and he has struggled to feature consistently for the Eagles this season – despite all the hype.

Roy Hodgson accused of accidentally selling the wrong player during Liverpool reign

Roy Hodgson accused of accidentally selling the wrong player during Liverpool reign

Roy Hodgson accidentally sold the wrong player while in charge of Liverpool, it has been claimed.


Alex Kacaniklic was once tipped as the next big thing to come out of the Merseyside club’s academy, but was moved on to Fulham nine years ago.

And the winger, who represented Sweden at international level, has now suggested that it was all down to a misunderstanding.


Keen to bring Paul Konchesky to Anfield after his stellar displays at left-back for the Whites, Hodgson included youth team players Kacaniklic and Lauri Dalle Valle to sweeten the deal.


Having played an integral part in Fulham’s journey to the Europa League Final the previous season under Hodgson, Konchesky was seen as the ideal replacement for Fabio Aurelio.


However, Kacaniklic has now claimed the 71-year-old ‘sent the wrong Alex’ to Craven Cottage during the 2010 summer transfer window.

“It was a bit difficult for Liverpool to replace me,” Kacaniklic told sports podcast Lundh.


“When I was in Fulham and before I signed up, I had a conversation with Roy Hodgson on the phone, where we found out that he had changed the wrong Alex.


“In his head, he thought he changed another Alex for Konchesky. But then it was too late. It’s a little funny.


“Then he just told me I was welcome back in Liverpool with open arms, but that I should do what I felt. I did not [go back]. Then I had already changed my mind and was very excited about coming to Fulham.”

A mercurial winger with a wand of a left foot and the ability to play on either flank, the Sweden international spent four years in west London but failed to make the grade.


While the Hammarby winger did not explicitly say which player Hodgson meant to sell, there was an Alex Cooper who played for Liverpool during the same season as Kacaniklic.


Hodgson’s career on Merseyside was equally unsuccessful as he was replaced by club legend Sir Kenny Dalglish midway through his debut season.

'Happy' Morata slays Malta

'Happy' Morata slays Malta

VALLETTA ̢ۢ Spain coach Luis Enrique put up a vigorous defence of Alvaro Morata after the striker was heavily criticised over the weekend for another wasteful display in their opening Euro 2020 qualifying win over Norway, insisting he had "his best match with us".
And while the former Barcelona boss was unable to take his place in the dugout owing to family reasons, the Chelsea striker, on loan at Atletico Madrid, repaid Enrique's faith in him with a brace as Spain beat Malta 2-0 away on Tuesday to move to the top of Group F.
Afterwards, the 26-year-old, who scored his first goals for the national team since November 2017 to make it 15 goals in 29 appearances, claimed Enrique's absence had given the squad "extra motivation".
Morata, who has now scored more than any other Spanish player between his international debut in November 2014 and 2019, said: "We always want to win every game but today, we wanted to win for our coach.
"He knows how happy I am to be here. What we want is to qualify as soon as possible for Euro 2020 and it was important to win. We won away and we move on."
Athletic Bilbao winger Iker Muniain, who came off the bench, added: "It was a very difficult game and we dedicate this victory to the boss and his family, we did as best as we could and this goes out to him."
Earlier, the Spanish Football Federation had "asked for discretion and respect for his privacy" after Enrique had to return home, with assistant coach Robert Moreno standing in for him.
But despite the "difficult situation", the 48-year-old still ensured his team were well prepared for their opponents and Sergio Ramos praised his meticulousness.


  • 15 Goals Alvaro Morata has scored for Spain, the most for any La Roja player between 2014 and 2019.
    121 Wins Sergio Ramos has enjoyed with Spain, a record he shares with goalkeeper Iker Casillas.


The skipper told Spanish daily Marca: "The group has felt for the coach. In this team, we're all a family and everyone feels each other's personal problems."
The Real Madrid defender, who also equalled Iker Casillas' all-time win record of 121 wins with Spain on the night, is now just four caps shy of tying the goalkeeper's mark for the most number of appearances for La Roja ( 167).
Hailing the former Real custodian and the player he succeeded as club captain as "a living legend", Ramos admitted he had designs on "overtaking his record".
He also told Marca: "Since I started, he had always told me that the only thing capable of overcoming him was a situation like mine.
"You cannot be winning all your life. You have to have good times and bad moments, the changes generate positive things. It won't all be negatives, there is some joy in football."
Spain's next round of Euro 2020 qualifiers will be away to Faroe Islands and at home to Sweden in June.

Man arrested after social media threats to bomb Fratton Park and kill fans during Portsmouth vs Sunderland

Police have confirmed they’ve arrested a man in relation to threats made on social media to bomb Fratton Park and kill fans during Portsmouth’s League One play-off semi-final against Sunderland.


Portsmouth earlier said they will carry out enhanced security checks before the clash due to the threats, which were posted on the Twitter account of @Kieran30971361.





The threats referenced the Manchester Arena bombing which killed 23 people in May 2017.


“I wounder (sic) how many Portsmouth fans I can shoot everyone remember the Manchester arena bombing just imagine fratton park going bang well let’s find out tomorrow,” read the initial post.

It was followed by: “Bomb bomb fratton park went bang the Portsmouth fans all died Haha going to be fun tomorrow headline news.”


Portsmouth said they were aware of the posts and working with Hampshire Constabulary, who have since confirmed a Yorkshire man has been arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill.


“A man was arrested overnight after threats were put out on social media about tonight’s Portsmouth V Sunderland game at Fratton Park,” Hampshire Constabulary said in a statement.











“We continue to work with Portsmouth FC and can assure the public that a sufficient policing response will be in place for tonight’s match.”


The Twitter account has since been suspended.


“The club would like to reassure fans that there will be enhanced security checks in place for Thursday’s play-off match against Sunderland at Fratton Park,” a club statement read.

“Due to these checks, all supporters with tickets are advised to arrive in plenty of time to make sure they are inside the stadium for the start of the game.”


An earlier post from a Portsmouth fan encouraged home fans to throw smoke bombs at away supporters.


Twitter user @CookiePFC_ posted: “20 quid to anyone who can hit a family of Sunderland fans in the away end with a smoke bomb Thursday”.


Sunderland lead the tie 1-0 following Saturday’s first leg at the Stadium of Light.

Football: Chelsea goalie Kepa fined one week's pay, apologises for League Cup final mutiny

LONDON (AFP) - Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has been fined a week's wages by the club after defying manager Maurizio Sarri and refusing to be substituted during the English League Cup final on Sunday (Feb 24).
"Although there was a misunderstanding, on reflection, I made a big mistake with how I handled the situation," he said in a statement on Chelsea's website, which announced the fine.
The club simultaneously published a statement from Sarri in which the manager said the pair had spoken following the row, which occurred in extra time of the match which Manchester City won on penalties.
"He has apologised to me, his team-mates and the club," said the Italian.
"It is up to the club if they want to discipline him according to the club rules, but for me this matter is now closed."
Sarri, who reacted furiously when Kepa refused to be substituted after needing treatment in the closing stages, said the incident had been a "misunderstanding".
"There was a misunderstanding yesterday but (Kepa) realises he made a big mistake in the way he reacted.
"The team performance as a whole was extremely positive and it is a shame to see how this incident has overshadowed our efforts in what was a very competitive cup final."

 
 
 
Kepa, the club's record £71 million (S$126 million) signing from Athletic Bilbao, refused to leave the field to be replaced by Willy Caballero. Sarri then stormed off down the tunnel in anger before returning.
"I wanted to take the time today to apologise fully and in person to the coach, to Willy, my team-mates and to the club," said the 24-year-old Spaniard, whose fine will be donated to the Chelsea foundation.
"I have done this and now I want to offer the same apology to the fans. I will learn from this episode and will accept any punishment or discipline the club decides is appropriate."
Sarri is under increasing pressure, with Chelsea losing four of their past seven games in a run that has seen them drop to sixth in the Premier League, crash out of the FA Cup and lose the League Cup final.
There is little time for Sarri and his team to regroup, with third-placed London rivals Tottenham Hotspur visiting Stamford Bridge on Wednesday (Feb 27) in the Premier League.
