Live bar January 15 news "The Mirror" took stock of the worst signings of the Premier League teams in the winter window, with Sanchez, Torres and Piret listed.
Arsenal: Dennis SuarezGunners fans are delighted with this loan in the 2019 winter window and have high hopes for the arrival of the Spain international. But all this did not go according to plan, Suarez only played for the team four times in the Premier League during the loan period, and did not make his debut until March of that year, and Gun fans could not understand why he did not get more playing time.
Aston Villa: Robert PirreWhen Villa signed him, fans thought the team was like winning the jackpot, but the 37-year-old Piret made a deal with Villa and came to the team too late. The Mirror said that although Piré reached an agreement with Villa in November, he was listed on the list because of the huge expectations fans had for his mid-season arrival.
BRENTFORD: Neil HipperleyIn the 06-07 season, Brentford in League One faced a difficult relegation task, and the former Chelsea and Southampton goalscorer Neil Hipperley, who they signed in the winter window, failed to regain the form of that year, and only played 11 games for the team before retiring, and Brentford was also relegated in League One that year.
Brighton: RockadiaIn January 2018, Brighton signed the Dutch shooter who performed well at Eindhoven, but was unable to open the scoring account in Brighton's Locadia for a long time, and was later loaned to play for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga and Cincinnati in the MLB.
BURNLY: CrouchBourne's swap of Sam Vaux for Crouch was a strange deal, and Crouch played six games without scoring at Burnley.
Chelsea: TorresTorres joined the Blues from Liverpool in 2011 and the transfer was described as a disaster. Torres, who scored in Liverpool, opened his scoring account three months after coming to the Blues, and after three seasons with the Blues, Torres joined AC Milan on loan.
Crystal Palace: Jordan MutchCrystal Palace signed Moogie from Cardiff City in 2015, but his performance proved to be a mistake in the transfer. In 2019, Mutch left Crystal Palace and played for league teams such as South Korea and Norway.
EVERTON: TossonEverton is controversial for paying high fees for the transfer of ordinary players, and from this perspective, Tosson is an example.
Before coming to Everton, Tosson scored 41 goals in 96 league games at Besiktas. After a high-priced transfer to Everton at £30 million, Tosson did not show what he should have, having been loaned twice in two years and scoring just 11 goals in 59 games for Everton.
Leeds United: Kevin AugustineLeeds United signed a loan contract with Leipzig striker Augustine, who was outstanding at the time, in the winter window 2020, but he then played only three games at Leeds United without scoring a goal, returning to Leipzig in June of that year.
Leicester City: KaramarićIn January 2015, Leicester City paid Cramarić a transfer fee of 9 million euros, and the Croatian striker made only 20 appearances and scored four goals in the 12 months since coming to the team.
Liverpool: Andy CarrollLiverpool spent a record £35 million to bring him in in 2011, but the England striker had only been at Liverpool for two seasons and Liverpool sold him for £20 million less than when he brought him in.
Manchester City: BonnieCity signed Boni for £28 million in January 2015, and just 18 months later the Ivorian striker was loaned to Stoke City, where he scored six goals in the league.
Manchester United: Alexis SanchezManchester United's signing of Alexis Sanchez in 2018 shocked the entire Premier League, but the Chilean only spent 18 months in Manchester before going on loan to Inter, scoring just three league goals in United's first two seasons.
Newcastle: Andros TownsendNewcastle had some players who could have made that list and Townsend's ability to show he didn't belong here.
Newcastle paid £12 million when he signed him in 2016, and Newcastle was relegated from the Premier League that year. Crystal Palace then triggered Townsend's termination clause and signed him for £13 million, which made Newcastle a £1 million profit as well.
Norwich: WildshurtNorwich had high expectations when he signed in 2017, paying a transfer fee of £7 million. But Wildshurt scored just two goals in 29 games since joining, and the Dutch striker left the team after two loan spells.
Southampton: Guido CarrilloThe Saints spent £19 million signing Guido Carrillo after the sale of Van Dijk in the winter window of 2018, but the Argentine striker failed to score a single goal in 10 games before being loaned to Leganes.
Tottenham Hotspur: Steven PinarSpurs beat Chelsea in a scramble in 2011 to sign Pinar for £3 million, but the South African winger failed to come up with his performance at Everton, playing for just 12 months and returning to Everton after 10 league games.
Watford: Ignacio PssettoWatford, under relegation pressure in 2020, paid £7 million to sign him, but the winger made only seven appearances at Watford before returning to Udinese on loan.
West Ham: Savio EnselekoMost people didn't even know who he was when he moved from Brescia to West Ham for £9 million in 2020, having only played for the Hammers for 6 months and made 10 appearances in the Premier League.
The player, who was far from up to par, even had the club launch an investigation to find out how the transfer was allowed.
Wolves: Eggert YongsongIt was Mick McCarthy's last permanent signing as Wolves boss in 2012, and the Icelander made just four league appearances in two years.
