Ibraflop obviously. Hleb comes in a very distant second place.

All of them. Though Saviola wasn't bad really. Pretty consistent scorer.
Wasn't Keirrison supposed to be the next Pele?

This...
Ibra doesn't seem to me as the worst player ever, he was not a Barca style, shit happens, he did what he could and blah, blah, blah. But in terms of money this is the most stupid deal.
I won't vote for anyone.

Gerard was another waste of money, considering he was a cantenaro and was let go by Barca, so after one good season with Valencia you decided he was good enough. He was crap.
As I believed I said on here when you got Christanval many Barca fans I spoke to at that time thought you had signed the next Thuram
Petit and Zambrotta weren't bad deals at that time. Now don't get me wrong they weren't great deals, but they were not the worst either. Petit gave you a good couple of years and was a steady influence in central midfield.
At the time you signed Zambrotta, many people, including myself thought he was the best left back in the world. His first year wasn't that bad, though his second was. But he had pedigree and was a magnificent full back on his day.

Barely any player from that great Valencia team made it out there in another team. Gerrard, Farinos, Mendieta, Kily, Claudio Lopez... Though Claudio Lopez wasn't that bad with Lazio. But he was nowhere close to the beast he was at Valencia. He had the talent to become among the best in the world, but to me the Lazio move turned to be a bad decision and he left Europe way too soon as well. Gerrard was either injured or poor. Very bad deal. And I voted for him as well.
Christanval was another idiotic move, just like the vast majority of the deals Barca did back then. Petit was ok but he wasn't that impressive either. Same as Zambrotta.
