4. Samuel Eto’o
The Cameroonian’s greed and extravagant wage haven’t been shown in his short Premier League career, but at Barcelona and Inter Milan, he demanded far too much money. First at Barcelona he wanted a huge amount of signing on fee, and with the Catalans clearly unwilling to offer him so much, he was used as a makeweight to bring in Zlatan Ibrahimovic. After a highly successful spell at Inter, he was tracked by the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid, but picked Anzhi Makhachkala instead. Why? Because they offered him a reported £280,000 per week, and became the highest paid player in history.
