Its hard as memory fails an old man :)
1. Douglas
2. Kerrison? (The Brazilian striker that was so hyped up but amounted to nothing?)
3 Oriol (Not really a football player, looked more like someone we dragged from the pub)

Honorable mention: Braithwaite, Alex Song (although he did have a good season here before becoming a fashion symbol), Umtiti's last years constantly injured (he was very good when he arrived though).

What's your picks?

Worst transfers are definitely the expensive ones as they are more crippling on the club than just signing trash players for a couple of mils.

Coutinho
Cardioman
Dembele

Dishonorable mentions to
Ibra and de jong.

For what they cost vs what they deliver.

Considering the magnitude it is easy for me:
Coutinho
Dembele
Griezmann

In a more loosened narrative, the tragic ones:
Alex Song
Braithwaite
Emmanuel Petit

and the list could cover more of Joan Gaspart era signings.

Dumbele cuntinho cheeseman

That was the trio that destroyed finances of the team without giving nothing.

From sport point of view: too many have the honor.. Albertini (strange deal by pep who signed an old finishes player and didn't even play him), ezquereo, chygrinsky, Roque, turan , firpo, Emerson.

Well, look. Yes, we overpaid for Dembele, but it was potentially this very good transfer even with the overpayment. Dembele had gigantic potential. Just gigantic.

Could we have predicted that injuries would ruin him? By the way, we all know that under Valverde, training was enjoyable, becouse amigos wanted it, so I think the reason for Dembele's frequent injuries was this wrong training process.

Griezmann is a great player, but from a tactical point of view there was no point in buying him. He was forced to play out of position because otherwise he would have duplicated Messi's position.

I remember one of our games when Leo was injured - when Griezmann came out in the false nine position, with Fati and Perez playing on the left and right. It was a great match in terms of quality of play - positional attacks, pressing, transitions from defense to attack, defense - everything was cool. And Griezmann was very cool in that game.

So, I think Griezmann would have achieved a lot more if Leo hadn't been in the team at that moment.

With Leo available, there was no need to buy Griezmann.

That's the only reason why that purchase was a failure, not because Griezmann wasn't a Barcelona level player.
