Torres to Chelsea
Birtles to Utd - 80s.
Hazard Madrid
Lukaku Chelsea
Even Pogba I would suggest….

Far from the worst.

The fact you think he looks good in every X number of games, probably puts him above those players listed….
All of these, when fully fit, easily was deemed good enough to play more than 163 minutes of league football in half a season.

Comparing Chelseas 5th or 6th choice winger with Pogba who was a key player for United for 4-5 years is more fun than sensible.

Had his food spiked by Chelsea so they can move him on and cancel his contract...
But has been already mentioned, they paid £85m for him, which I'm sure they'd like to get some back

On worst transfers ... Danny Drinkwater.

Big fee, massive wage, long contract, Chelsea.

Did f*** all. Kept getting in scraps when out on loan. After 5 or 6 seasons on Chelsea's books retired rich as Croesus.

Winston Bogarde. No fee, massive wage, long contract, Chelsea.

did less than f*** all, didn't go out on loan, openly didn't give a f***. retired when his contract ran out, rich as Croesus. Fair play to the lad.

If it's a performance enhancing drug he's an appalling brand ambassador.
He's a bit Goddy isn't he?

Perhaps it was contaminated communion wine?

Or something minty dabbed on his wafer-thin communion wafer?

This might be a blessing in disguise unfortunately for Chelsea, surely if he's been found positive for a banned substance they can tear the contract up?
So when Chelsea need to get rid of someone on a very long and expensive contract, all they need to do is pop something in their food? I'm not suggesting they would do such a thing, but it's useful to know.

I see I'm late with this observation

Chances are that failing a drug test is sufficient for dismissal from a professional club (in fact most employers). However, whilst sacking him would let them off the hook for the next 6.5 years' worth of wages - which would save them in the region £38m - only about 12m of his 70m fee will have amortised in the accounts ending summer 2024. This means that they'd have to write off a value of £58m in this year's accounts.

It could, at least helping you better at kicking a ball compared to a non doped version.

If you're doping to improve endurance then after 80+ of sprinting etc you'll kick it better if you have doped than if you haven't.
More importantly, doping helps you get to the ball faster and more often before your oponent kicks the ball. If ahtletic performace, which can definitely be enhanced by PEDs, wasn't a major factor in professional football, then why on earth would teams do fitness training and have elite-level conditioning coaches and facilities?

Was it Robbie Savage who originally came out with that quote? What an idiotic thing for someone who's actually played professionally to have said if it was.

But Pogba was supposedly established, Mudryk is a lot younger, not an equal comparison from that perspective.

Plenty of examples that he’s not the ‘worst ever’.

There was a player in Italy that was suited by the club for the transfer fee. Ex Chelsea? I think they won a well.
