Unlike Britain and Spain, where the best clubs do not hesitate to spend big bucks for stars, the Italians are more cautious, although they too are prepared to enter deeply into their pockets in principle as a whole in the name under pressure Signed by his own fans. These big money moves often bear fruit and help to improve their position in Serie A sides, but as this list shows that sometimes just the opposite effect and may be true as a waste of money.
10) Simone Loria (Roma)
The product of the Juventus youth system, spent five seasons playing Serie C1 and C2 series win against Cagliari Club supports the development of Serie B. Loria achieve the same feat with Atalanta before moving on to Siena and after only one season of "Artemio Franchi", he made a shock move Roma for € 2,800,000. The defender can not hope to begin worse in Olimpico as his defensive mistakes cost his team managed almost a goal a game and it was no wonder that he quickly banished to the bench and left the club, but the ideas in 9 Serie A games he labeled one of the best defenders to ever play in the elite of Italy.
9) Andriy Shevchenko (AC Milan)
Once was named one of the worst failures in the history of the Premier League after moving from Milan to Chelsea, his return to San Siro is a difficult move to win, even taking into account, there was no transfer participating fee. Once the true hero of Milan, Shevchenko failed to net in 18 appearances for Milan before returning to see the club where it all began for him, Dynamo Kiev. Ukraine was one of only a few big players with two transfer failures during his career.
8) Fabio Grosso (Juventus Turin)
Fabio Grosso, the implementation of the 2006 World Cup were nothing more than magical, since it is an integral part of Italy to World Cup team, he scored some important goals in the final stages of the tournament was. After the tournament in Germany left-back Inter Milan and Lyon before moving to Juventus won that won him a place on our list. Grosso was paid only € 3,000,000 from the Bianconeri, but at left back is expected to be key player in the country, he was a big failure, as well as the entire team, Juventus this season, and he never been able to reproduce the form that won him great recognition in the world of football.
7) Mauro Zarate (Lazio)
While rental in Lazio from Al Sadd, begins to show its great potential for Mauro Zarate Olimipico, although frequently criticized for his extreme selfishness and lack of teamwork. Claudio Lotito has played at a whole would refuse to buy his contract of € 20,000,000, but the thought that perhaps the Argentinian president of the club of leading players for many years Biancoclelesti. This was hardly the case with Zarate only 3 goals in 22 starts next season with Lazio narrowly avoided relegation from Serie A
6) Felipe Melo (Juventus Turin)
Felipe Melo career started upward trend in professional football since he was at Flamengo, and if Juventus Fiorentina paid € 25 million for Brazilians, everyone expects it to be a new team leader, along with fellow midfielder Diego. However, it appears that the pressure of expectation is too much to bear for him and his performances were quite disappointing in the majority of games he played for the Bianconeri. Mello was later incorporated into the Brazilian World Cup team and while he hoped that good performance in South Africa will be his career back on track, he scored an own goal and instead get into the quarter-final against Holland, which must be sent to the last game Brazil's tournament.
5) Diego (Juventus Turin)
Diego Juventus came at the same time, Felipe Melo, and almost the same amount of money with his impressive performances of Bremen, and € 24,500,000 fee making it the most important players on the team sheet before even the black market and white jersey. The Brazilian is simply outstanding in the first games of the season, so fans believe he will be the one to return to the glory of old days at the club, live, but everything is changing fast, Diego can bring it over. The club decided to release him Wolfsburg at the end of the season to € 15,500,000, after verifying that it is not worth the money they have invested in it.
4) Klaas Jan Huntelaar (Milan)
I must say this is one of my favorite players, so he is in fact this list proves that deserves to be there. Klaas Jan Huntelaar has scored goals for fun in Holland before his move to Santiago Bernabeu in 2009 and although he never had a real chance at Real, the Dutchman is the result of 8 goals in just 13 starts for Merengues, but to earn enough to him one more chance in Spain. Milan just € 15,000,000 is too much money for such a great player, so they decided to buy only six months into his career at Real, but the transfer has not been shown to be fruitful because they like to imagine. In all fairness, Huntelaar is not possible, its value at the San Siro after a full season in Milan on trial, he went to Milan lost only a few million in the process of Schalke.
3) Ricardo Quaresma (Inter):
In a similar player to his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, it is no wonder that Quaresma goals and tricks are an integral part of football, and stresses that they are actually on top of his game when Inter Porto € 18,600,000 agreed to pay hard wing. However, Jose Mourinho was not too busy with his compatriot Quaresma hit by defensive duties neglected and tactical tasks, something that is now manager of Real Madrid over all other values, and not particularly surprised to see the midfielder spend more time in the Bank and as the pitch.
2) Gianluigi Lentini (Milan)
Gianluigi Lentini is the most expensive player in the world when they are transferred from Turin to Milan for 13 million pounds in 1992, but the only thing he got there, the Italian shows anything, it's all worth the money remained unknown. Lentini have won Serie A in his first year at the San Siro, but played only 33 games over the next three years in Milan started his career took the wrong path. Lentini went to play until he was forty, his trade playing in the Italian amateur-pages as he wanted to show everyone, most likely that the journey from top flight football in lower divisions, not as long and difficult, though .
1) Gaizka Mendieta (Lazio)
Although I had some doubts when this list was formulated, Gaizka Mendieta was always going to be number one. It is definitely not one of those players who flop just because they moved earlier than should have, as Basque midfielder left Valencia for 27 years after eight highly successful seasons at the Mestalla.
Since it is most likely apply to a player currently on the market, Lazio decided to count no less than € 45,000,000 for Mendieta, but a total waste of money was the Spaniards' only lasted one season before lent to Barcelona and Middlesbrough respectively. Nobody knew what happened to the player who led Valencia to consecutive Champions League final and a player who was voted European Midfielder of the season for 1999/2000 and 2000/2001.
