8. Gabriel Obertan: £3m from Bordeaux
Currently playing for Newcastle United in the Premier League, Gabriel Obertan was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson in 2009 from Bordeaux for £3 million.
Once again, the fee wasn’t a big one for the winger, but he simply failed to show any glimpses of promise at The Red Devils.
From 2009-2011, Obertan made 14 Premier League appearances for Sir Alex, scoring no goals. Since 2011 he has been at Newcastle and has gone on to make over 50 appearances for The Magpies.
