Robinho

Massive transfer, the huge statement of intent. The player who was basically City saying "Look at us, we've got the money to buy a top Brazillian forward"

Never really did much.

Thudd I'm surprised that you know how football is played

Robinho
Pato
Messi
Saviola
Joaquin
Arguably even Rooney

The media might have gone well overboard over Joaquín when he was younger, but in fairness he's done very well everywhere he's been - Betis, Valencia, Malaga. 32 now, but I'm interested to see what he's got left in him and how he gets on at Fiorentina.

Betis paid about 21m for him and was a record if I recall.

Rooney, Rui Costa, Robinho, Rabiu Ibrahim

Del Horno (£8m), Shevchenko(£30m), Torres(£50m), Veron(£15m), Zhirkov(£18m), Wright-Phillips(£20m).

Our biggest flops add up to £141m holy cow.
