Aston Villa – Darren Bent (£24m)
Appearing twice on this list, Darren Bent is also Aston Villa’s record signing at £24m, but it’s fair to say he was not nearly as good in a difficult spell at Villa Park. MISS.
Everton – Romelu Lukaku (£28m)
Not quite at his best for Everton yet, but Romelu Lukaku is one of the best young strikers in the world and is sure to prove a HIT for the club if he fulfills his potential.
Tottenham – Erik Lamela (£30m)
One of Tottenham’s worst signings is sadly also their most expensive, with Erik Lamela looking nowhere near worth £30m after joining from Roma a couple of years ago. MISS.
Liverpool – Andy Carroll (£35m)
Close to the world transfer record from 2000, Liverpool blew £35m on Andy Carroll in a terrible move, with the injury-prone forward doing little of note at Anfield before leaving for £20m less than they paid for him.
