Clubs sign and sell players every time the transfer window opens. We all have players we would like to see our clubs sign or dispose off but since we don’t have a say in the boards we can only receive what we get every time the window opens.

However, sometimes the Clubs we love don’t always make the right decisions. This includes signing players that fail to live up to the expectation or even selling great players just when they are about to start off a great journey.

Today let us see five of the most regrettable transfers in the last decade;

5. Chicharito (Man United to Bayer Leverkusen)


Louis Van Gaal sanctioned 8.75 million sale of Javier Hernandez also known as Chicharito after his loan spell at Real Madrid. According to close sources, the Dutchman said the striker was not good enough for Manchester United but 6 months later it was obvious that he had made a serious mistake.


The striker ended up scoring 26 goals in 40 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen last season, more than all the forward players at Old Trafford. It was a big mistake to let the Mexican leave.

4. Coman (PSG to Juventus)


PSG still regrets letting their best academy product leave for almost nothing to join Juventus in 2013/2014 season. He went on to win a treble with the Italian Champions but it is his loan deal at Bayern Munich that has made him a star.

His pace and skills came to light in the Champions League match against Arsenal at Allianz Arena. He dazzled and made fellow Frenchman Mathieu Debuchy look ordinary. He scored 6 goals and 6 assists last season for Bayern. His performances earned him a place in France national team in Euro 2016.

3. Tevez (Man United to Man City)

Carlos Tevez demand for high salary at Old Trafford led to his unceremonious sale to rivals Manchester City for £25.5m. Sir Alex Ferguson signed Dimitar Berbatov to fill the gap but the Bulgarian could still not be as prolific as he was at Tottenham Hotpurs. Tevez on the other hand continued to shine for City scoring 73 goals in 148 appearances. He also helped them win a number of trophies among them FA Cup and the League.
