SOCCER CRAZEE AWARDS 2009 - WORST BUY 2009(RETARD)

The criteria for the category is based on 3 things:

1)Expectations from player

2)Cost and Final Value of player
3)On field performances and desire to win games

1) XISCO(NEWCASTLE) - Brought in for up to 7million pounds

to help Newcastle's forward line. Spanish U-21 international almost immediately found himself behind Owen,Ameobi,Andy Caroll,Martins,Lovenkrands and Viduka.That is right, 7th choice!To be fair his injury has the big say but for that money you expect more when he is fit as well..

2) BORJA VALERO(WBA) - WBA's club record signing at 4.7 million pounds. Crazy Money for them.Started of well but faded of very fast and was even dropped recently for a certain Doorens..durians wtv he is called.. That is sad if you ask me.Mowbray says he will come good.Soccercrazee wants to know in which division?

3)PETER HALMOSI(HULL CIY) - Another record signing at 2 million pounds for Hull(poor as they are) but compared to the likes of Ashbee,Boateng,garcia and even the past prime Nick barmby, has not looked at all up to standard. 2 million shouldnt get you much but players like Ashbee and Barmby should cost less dont you think?

4) PHILIPP DEGEN(LIVERPOOL) - A supposed bargain by Benitez. Free transferred from Borussia Dortmund he still ended up making losses for the club! By eating wages and not even playing a single first team game. Injured all season.Came back and got injured again. An exeptionally intelligent defender as we saw in past world cups for Switzerland and solid performaces in Dortmund but he let us all down.

5) DAVID BENTLEY (TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS) - Bot of course one nominee that actually was supposed to be a star player. He ended up counting stars. 17 million pounds. Missed a penalty in the League cup final. Looks like Berbatov did last season at the same club and plays like a man who just got home from Hooters and was told he has to play a game. What else can I say?



SoccerCrazee would like to gove honourable mentions to those who almost made the list above like Marvin Emnes(Middlesbrough) was "given chance" because he was young. Robinho( Man City) for being the highest played footballer and most expensive and not reaching his heights. Even missing penalties and disappearing in big games.Players like Zoran Tosic(Man Utd), Hugo Roddallega(Wigan),N'gog (Liverpool),Bischoff(Arsenal)Smolarek(Bolton),Savio(West Ham),F di Santo(Chelsea) all not considered due to being mid season signings or young guns. Players like Gomes(Spurs) are actually not flops! True. according to Actim Index scores and proficiency.Loans were not considered as well...
