1. Angel di Maria - € 75m

Where do I start? Angel di Maria was the hero of the Champions League final for Real Madrid, but Florentino Pérez decided that James Rodrigues, the star of the world cup was a bigger coup than Angel di Maria and so he unhappily went to Manchester United.

He took the world by storm in his first few games for United, going past players, and generally being brilliant, which included a cracking dink over the goalkeeper against Leicester. But, then he was injured and lost form.

Louis van Gaal tried him as a striker in a two double striker system, that didn't work out, neither did the number ten position. He eventually lost his place to Ashley Young in the squad, Ashley Young! He forced a move to PSG after one season and since then has regained his form for the Paris outfit.
