8. Christopher Samba – QPR, £12.5m.
Once considered one of the best central defenders in the Premier League with Blackburn, Arsenal were linked with Samba before he joined Russian rich boys Anzhi Makhachkala.
As QPR tumbled towards relegation in January 2013 manager Harry Redknapp decided to turn to the towering Congo defender in a massive £12.5m deal and £100,00-a-week contract.
Samba played 10 games for the Hoops, who were still relegated and now the 29-year-old is back with Anzhi. Not ‘arry’s finest moment.
