8. Juan Cuadrado, Chelsea – £26.8m, from Fiorentina, £85,000 per week
The fact that Chelsea were able to dominate the Premier League in spite of flops like Cuadrado is a testament to Jose Mourinho’s talent evaluation and training. A post-January signing by Mourinho, Cuadrado made 12 appearances and 4 starts while making just 7 shots. In his previous three seasons with Fiorentina, Cuadrado had recorded 20 goals from the winger position.
7. Dejan Lovren, Liverpool – £20m from Southampton, £70,000 per week
Money well wasted if that was Brendan Rodgers’ intention. Multiple mistakes that directly lead to goals along with no contributions to Liverpool’s goal total spelled doom for the club as they finished 6th on the table.
