Tottenham transfers: Spurs to potentially sell ten players in mass summer clear-out
Tottenham transfer news
With Paulinho finally confirmed as leaving Tottenham Hotspur this summer, here’s a look at the north London club’s ten worst signings in the Premier League era in no particular order…
1) David Bentley
A club-record signing when he joined, David Bentley had one or two decent games for Tottenham in his first season but quickly went downhill, eventually retiring from the game completely aged just 29.
2) Sergei Rebrov
A Ukranian talent who joined with big expectations, Sergei Rebrov ended up being one of Spurs’ biggest transfer mistakes as he totally failed to settle in England.
3) Darren Bent
A decent striker throughout his career at most other clubs, Darren Bent just couldn’t get it right at Tottenham, earning a reputation for missing easy chances and failing to influence games.
4) Helder Postiga
Signed as one of the most promising young talents in Portugal, Helder Postiga ended up being a massive flop at Spurs and was sold quickly.
5) Roberto Soldado
A £26m signing from Valencia, Roberto Soldado has been a massive disappointment at Tottenham, scoring just one league goal in 2014/15 and with most of his strikes coming from the penalty spot.
6) Erik Lamela
Tottenham’s record signing at £30m, Erik Lamela was seen as a huge signing when he joined from AS Roma, but has been a huge disappointment in north London.
7) Heurelho Gomes
A goalkeeper prone to many awful errors, Heurelho Gomes was a poor signing by Spurs and remained their number one for far too long.
8) Paulinho
Another Brazilian flop, Paulinho was another signing met with plenty of excitement who just couldn’t hack life in the Premier League as he prepares for his move to China.
9) Louis Saha
Signed when he was far too old and clearly past his best, Louis Saha had one or two decent games for Spurs but didn’t last long at White Hart Lane.
10) Andy Reid
An overweight winger who couldn’t cope with the pace of the Premier League, Andy Reid was another poor error in judgement by Tottenham after he impressed in the Championship.
