its a travesty Soldado isnt on that list.

Janssen as well. Llorente too.

Anyone spurs sign to play up front that isnt Kane
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Soldado was the biggest flop of that lot because he was more expensive and was essentially brought in to be our main striker before Kane got a look in. The other 2 less so because you're only talking about bringing in secondary strikers, and besides they're still Spurs players.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Bravo and Mangala are still City players...

Soldado was a massive flop for us and would have no problems with him being on that list.

Can Schneiderlin be considered a flop?

Indeed.

But as several people have said, it's flawed to call a player a flop when they haven't even completed their second season.

Particularly when you consider the effect that Mourinho has had on United in terms of style of football - there's every chance it could change.

I will refer to Pallister, Vidic, Evra etc.

If you'd have called them a flop you'd have regarded yourself as correct. But history would have proven you wrong.

Agreed jlou. But too soon to foretell the outcome.

Mutu was a flop playing wise but not cost wise, they sued and got all their fee back from him.

..................

Yes.

Not an expensive one though in the grand scheme of things.

Personally i think you can be a flop without having left the club.

So the OP should just add Pogba.

You can be

But there’d have to be general consensus your career at said club was over

Bravo and mangalas careers at city are over; Pogbas isn’t.

United have had a lot of flops since Fergie it's fair to say.

Falcao is a pretty expensive flop in terms of wages.

His career with a manager who’s own time is arguably just as close to ending is.

No idea what would happen to him if Jose left
