As an American, a career move considered to be disastrous in the eyes of many MLS fans has to be German legend Lothar Matthaus's move to the NY/NJ Metrostars (known today as New York Red Bulls) in 2000. The American soccer media were hyping his signing as the biggest in league history at the time & were expecting him to have the same impact on MLS that Pele had on the NASL even though Matthaus was near the end of his career. However Matthaus only played in 16 games for the Metrostars scoring no goals & was known for vacationing in St. Tropez when he was supposed to be rehabbing his back. After the MLS season ended, he retired having made zero impact on the Metrostars. Another move considered to be disastrous when it comes to MLS is Freddie Ljungberg joining the Seattle Sounders in 2009 where he was given a designated player contract (meaning he would be paid more than the average player according to league rules) even though he had spent the majority of the 2 years after he left Arsenal injured. Ljungerg's time in Seattle was not good as he only scored two goals & spent most of the time injured. As a Sounders supporter, he is considered to be one of the worst signings we have ever had & this is the same club that revived the careers of Dijmi Traore, Obafemi Martins, Kasey Keller & Clint Dempsey.

I think Sebastian Deisler to Bayern München was a major omission from this list. He not only should've been included, but possibly even on the podium. He was the most talented German midfielder of the 2000s, becoming international at just 20. They even called him the future of German football and led Hertha to their first trophy since the 1930s. But even before he even arrived to FC Holywood, he received major criticism for how he left Berlin. At Bayern he got injured frequently, he lost his confidence completely, suffered from burn-out and depression and retired at age only 27. Comparing his career before and after his transfer, it's hard to see how it could've went worse for him...

The real transfer that was dreadful for him was his later move to Porto, since not only did he not actually know any Portuguese, never having been a problem at Portimonense due to its relations with the Japanese market and a few half japanese half brazilian staff players who helped with translation, he started playing under Sergio Conceição, who altough a good manager he is not the manager you want a happy player playing under, after that Nakajima had a lof transfers and you could see his heart was not in the sport as it used to when he was loaned for half a season back to Portimonense.

Darko Pancev in his 90/91 season also profited from probably one of the strongest teams in Europe (in regards to raw talent) all looking for him to score. From Mihajlovic long balls, Prosinecki, Jugovic, a striker partnership with Binic and a midfield master that was Dejan Savičević all focused on giving him the ball. Just look what all of them did and won in their careers and where they went after departing Red Star - Lazio, Inter, Valencia at its peak, Sampdoria, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Real, Milan, Roma, Sevilla. At the time it was indeed a stary sky above Belgrade and behind Pancev. Although his quality is undisputable, there is something to be said about having this strong a team feeding you for 90 minutes and shows why he ran only when the ball was close. It's because he knew he would get it where and when he wanted it as these guys could deliver. For young football fans it would be like having a 'not so willing to run' striker upfront in Barca being fed by Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Busquets and the like. Or a shorter Haaland in Man City today.

Jean-Kevin Augustin cost Leeds over 40 million and he only made three appearances and since then he’s only score six goals, thats disastrous.

I think in another video Alfie mentioned him as the worst signing of all time or something similar It was pretty bad for him as a player but he is still playing for FC Basel, which is not an awful level. He didn't become the next great thing but his career didn't go from Hero to Zero like most people in the video. This signing really was far more disasterous for the club than for the player really

It's not really surprising that a footballer would be stupid enough to use LGBT rights in Saudi Arabia as an excuse for taking the money.

I literally cannot stand Henderson. The fact that a country will throw people in jail or kill them for loving someone is one of the most evil things I have ever heard of. And for someone - who has claimed to stand with the very people that are being arrested and/or killed in said country - to then move there, take their money, and shut up, is absolutely egregious. Some issues supersede culture, nationality, race, and religion, and quite frankly, one is either an idiot if they can't recognise this, a coward if they don't have the guts to stand up against it, or simply an outright bigoted asshole. Why is this so difficult for some people to comprehend?

Philippe Coutinho should have been an honorable mention. He did win a UCL with Bayern but if he stayed at Liverpool, he could have gone down as a prem great. He is now known as one of the worst transfers ever.
