Chelsea – Top 5 Worst Signings made during Abramovich Era
Roman Abramovich is very much the reason why Chelsea made the step up from a mid-table Premier League club to one of Europe’s elite in such a short time, but not all of his recruits have lived up to their usually massive price-tags.
5. Henrique Hilario
Although it may be unfair to include the veteran Portuguese goalkeeper in this list of Chelsea flops, but the former Porto man is now 38, is now in his 8th season with the Blues and has only turned out 20 times for the 2012 Champions League winners. Although he came in on a free transfer, there was little money wasted on the former Portugal international, but what they have wasted is a considerable part of the wage bill on a player who might as well not have been there for the past 8 years, overall not a good move for the Russian owner.
