3. Aleksandr Hleb (Barcelona)
Midfielder Aleksandr Hleb was one of Pep Guardiola’s first signings after becoming head coach. The midfielder was signed for a fee of £12.75 million in 2008. The signings of Hleb looked to be an amazing addition to the team following his brilliant performances with Arsenal and a few good seasons in the Premier League.
Everyone expected Hleb to get into the first team easily but things didn’t go as expected. The Belarusian’s became a bech warmer at the club. After a number of loans with Stuttgart, Birmingham City and Wolfsburg the Belarusian moved to the Russian League withKrylia Sovetov and has since never shown the quality displays he shown in London with the Gunners.
