14) Yaya Sanogo (Arsenal)

An awful striker who looks out of depth at this level, Yaya Sanogo is certainly very lucky to be an Arsenal player based on what we’ve seen so far.

13) Glen Johnson (Liverpool)

A decent attacking full-back, but pretty brainless at the back, Glen Johnson looks like finally being on his way out of Liverpool after a string of poor performances.

12) Aaron Lennon (Tottenham Hotspur)

A player whose career stalled badly years ago, Aaron Lennon somehow remains on the books at Tottenham despite contributing very little.

11) Nacho Monreal (Arsenal)

A player who doesn’t seem to excel in any position, Nacho Monreal is a makeshift left-back or centre-back for Arsenal.

10) Thomas Vermaelen (Barcelona)

A very over-rated player, Thomas Vermaelen is certainly not Barcelona quality based on his last couple of years with Arsenal.

9) Kolo Toure (Liverpool)

A player past his best long ago, Kolo Toure is somehow still at a top club based on nothing but reputation, having become increasingly rash and error-prone over the last few years.

8) Chris Smalling (Manchester United)

Once regarded as a promising youngster, Chris Smalling hasn’t amounted to much at Manchester United and is surely one to be sold.

7) Antonio Valencia (Manchester United)

A clueless winger, Antonio Valencia has really gone backwards in recent times after a good first season at Old Trafford.

6) John Obi Mikel (Chelsea)

One of the most limited midfield players in the Premier League, John Obi Mikel is somehow still at Chelsea despite all the quality around him.

5) Anderson (Manchester United)

Once a terrific prospect, Anderson is now something of an embarrassment for Manchester United, who they couldn’t even manage to sell for £5m this summer.

4) Marouane Fellaini (Manchester United)

A highly expensive flop, Marouane Fellaini shone at Everton but has been caught out since moving to a far bigger club.

3) Scott Sinclair (Manchester City)

A bizarre signing by Manchester City, Scott Sinclair was decent at Swansea City but never looked good enough for a top four club. Was then turned down by West Bromwich Albion this summer.

2) Ashley Young (Manchester United)

An excellent diver, but awful footballer, Ashley Young is somehow still at Manchester United despite doing basically nothing in the last three years.

1) Dedryck Boyata (Manchester City)

Perhaps the worst player on the books at a top four Premier League club, Dedryck Boyata remains at Manchester City despite looking truly terrible in any first-team appearance.
