10. Julio dos Santos

Starting the list is Julio dos Santos. The young player was named the Paraguayan Footballer of the Year in 2005. The 23 year old got into the Bayern Munchen first team but failed to compete for a spot with Michael Ballack in the team who was the first choice in the team, stiff competition from the others meant that the young midfielders chances in the team where limited.

The Brazilian only managed to play 10 games for the Bavarians before he was sent out on loan to Wolfsburg were he suffered a major injury and was deported back to Brazil because the player never recovered his form.

9. Danijel Pranjic

The Croatian was signed for Bayern Munich in 2009 for a fee of £5 million from Dutch club Heerenveen. The Croatian failed to make an impact in his first season as he failed to hold down a regular spot in the first team for Bayern Munich.

In the second season he played more games but was unable to keep his place going into the third season with the club and was released at the end of the season due to limited game time.

8. Takashi Usami

Regarded as the next big thing in Asia, the Japanese failed to live upto the expectations during his brief stint with German giants Bayern Munich. The Japenese forward only played five games for the club before he was loaned out to Hoffenheim and a return to the Japanese league with Gamba Osaka.

Since his return to the Japanese League, the forward has re-established himself as a top goal scorer and it won’t be long enough till he returns to European football.

7. Vahid Hashemian

Vahid Hashemian is another Iranian failure at Bayern Munich after fellows Ali Daei and Ali Karimi. The Iranian striker was signed by Bayern Munchen for a gamble price of just £1 million after he netted 16 goals in 32 appearances for Bochum during the 2003-04 season. It was so unfortunate that the striker failed to replicate the season he had with Bochum and was sold a year later to Hannover 96 for just £910k.

6. Lukas Podolski

In sixth is former Arsenal man Lukas Podolski. The German played for Bayern Munich in his early party of his career his short stint with the Bavaria was considered to be a failure and was offloaded to his old club FC Koln.

5. Tobias Rau

Tobias Rau joined Bayern in 2003, the player had already been capped by his national team at senior level and was guaranteed a place by the Bavarian team. Unfortunately the German’s career at Bayern Munich never really took off due to a number of injuries even when he regained fitness he found it hard to get into the team because of stiff competition with more established players.

After just 19 games with the club, Tobias Rau joined Arminia Bielefeld in 2005, even at Bielefeld his injuries continued and forced him to retire in 2009.

4. Sebastian Deisler

One who was considered to be the golden boy of German football though he career never really took of because of a series of injuries. Deisler started his career in German with Borussia Monchengladbach then moved to Hertha Berlin and finally Bayern Munich where he played until retiring at the age of 27.
