What’s it like to be a big-money flop? Five players who've been there tell FourFourTwo...

English
Standfirst: 
From Akinbiyi to Veron, the players themselves explain what went wrong after their clubs spent big bucks on them

Pull quotes: 

Things may not have gone to plan, but anyone who thought that Veron was the archetypal South American fancy dan desperate to get away from rainy Manchester would be dead wrong

They want you to do well and they’ll give you 10 games, but the longer it goes on, people start scratching their heads and ask if it was a waste of money

- Ade Akinbiyi

With four and a half years left on his contract, Balaban felt he was being forced out having barely been given a chance to show his worth

He added that the best thing I could do was go and play in the North American Soccer League, and that’s what I did

- Steve Daley

What has really stuck with me is the amazing response I have received in the years since leaving Italy – not only the fact that my name eventually became adopted by The Luther Blissett Project

- Luther Blissett
