8) Lazar Markovic (Liverpool) £20m
The Serbian wasn’t given any chances early on, but during our run of good form midway through the season, Markovic began to show why we spent such a vast sum on him. His talent is undeniable, and when he matches his speed and dribbling with consistent decision making – he could prove a good signing. We’re not giving up on a 21-year-old yet, anyway.
7) Wilfried Bony (Manchester City) £28m
City stockpile forwards, but none of them can ever take Aguero’s place, so it seems a little pointless. We’d take Bony, or even Edin Dzeko off their hands – no question.
6) Danny Welbeck (Arsenal) £16m
Four goals in 25 Premier League starts. That’s only three more than Balotelli, and in plenty less matches.
5) Luke Shaw (Man United) £27m
We scoffed when United spent £27m on Shaw. Even if he maximises his potential and becomes the world’s best left-back, he still won’t be worth such a horribly enormous sum. We’re surprised he’s not higher.
