Some players whose performance doesn't match the price

The transfer market often gives surprises. Several star players have found their newest port. Usually, these players are carried off at a price that is not small.

Many big European clubs have spent a lot of money in order to bring in their ideal players, which of course is also followed with high hopes. However, there are many cases that report about players with high prices, but failing to live up to expectations.

As in this discussion, the starting eleven will present a row of players whose performance is not commensurate with the price.

Harry Maguire

Manchester United are willing to make Harry Maguire the world's most expensive defender. When brought to Old Trafford from Leicester City earlier this season, the British player was paid a price of 85 million euros or the equivalent of 1.3 trillion rupiah. MU certainly hopes that Maguire is able to become the Van Dijk of the Red Devils.

However, over time, United's problems have not been resolved. Maguire was unable to show his class and made more mistakes. Until now, the Red Devils' performance is still fairly unstable and has not been able to return to its proper place.

Nicolas Pepe

Who would have thought if Arsenal managed to get Lille's star, Nicolas Pepe. The previous season, Nicolas Pepe performed so brilliantly in France that he made his prices soar and many big European clubs were interested in him.

Arsenal who were amazed also dared to pay the player a dowry of 80 million euros, equivalent to 1.2 trillion rupiah. Even though the Gunners are considered a frugal team in buying new players.

Unfortunately, Pepe never adapted to the Premier League competition. He is always confused and is often the cause of the failure of the London gun attack.

Luka Jovic

This season, Real Madrid has become the most wasteful team when it comes to buying star players. They almost spent 5 trillion rupiah, of which one of the stars who was brought in was Luka Jovic. He was recruited from Frankfurt at a price of 70 million euros or the equivalent of 1.1 trillion rupiah.

Initially, the management planned to plot Jovic as a replacement for Karim Benzema. But his appearance was not what was expected. Even Jovic, who is expensive, spends a lot of time sitting on the bench.

Even if you look at the record when he played in Germany, it was extraordinary. In uniform for Frankfurt last season, Jovic was able to score 27 goals in 48 matches.

Malcom

Malcom may be one of FC Barcelona's biggest regrets. The reason is, the Catalan club has done various ways to bring in the player, one of which is cornering a rival team and providing a high price.

Imported at a price of 41 million euros or the equivalent of 637 billion rupiah, Malcom only wore a Blaugrana uniform for a season and appeared in 15 matches. His total goals in the league have only touched 1.

After feeling unnecessary in the team, Malcom then moved to Russia to join Zenith St. Pettersburg.

Coutinho

Coutinho is considered to have failed to prove his best quality in Barcelona uniform. Only half a season to strengthen Los Azulgrana after being brought in from Liverpool for a fee of 105 million euros, Coutinho finally had to lift the suitcase last summer.

Players from Brazil often appear below standard and get a lot of ridicule from fans.

Although often the target of Barca supporters' anger, Coutinho said it was a valuable lesson. The difficult times at the Camp Nou are expected to gradually improve when he plays for the Bundesliga giants.

Paul Pogba

Pogba was brought in by Manchester United from Italian club Juventus in the summer of 2016 for a fantastic fee of £ 89 million, which was claimed to have broken the world's most expensive transfer record at the time.

Even though he has presented the Europa League trophy, Pogba's work is considered not worth the price paid by Manchester United. On several other occasions he was often the target of criticism from Red Devil fans.

Disappointment peaked after last season Manchester United failed to finish in the top four or the Champions League final zone. The fans did not hesitate to throw taunts from the sidelines at the French footballer. He is considered the culprit for Manchester United's downturn, which raised the issue of the player's departure from Old Trafford.

Fred

Apart from Pogba, Fred's name also deserves to be in the spotlight. Manchester United redeemed Fred from Shaktar Donetsk and he is expected to boost the midfield. However, he even more often sat on the bench.

When given the opportunity to appear, this player was sluggish and often did unnecessary things. The high price paid by United is clearly a loss.

If he doesn't move immediately, Fred must be willing to stop his career at the Manchester United team.

Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard's move to Real Madrid is considered to be one of the biggest in recent times. Naturally, Hazard became one of the best players in the world, and had a lot of success at his previous club, Chelsea.

Thanks to his brilliance at Chelsea and the Belgian national team, he is also predicted to be a suitable replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.

In fact, he was awarded the number 7 jersey at Real Madrid, a sacred number. But again fans must be disappointed by new Real Madrid players this season. Eden Hazard performed below expectations.

Carrying off with a price of 100 million euros, Hazard has not been able to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, or at least appear consistent in a number of matches.

Antoine Griezmann

Antoine Griezmann is the most expensive player in the transfer market in 2019 with a tag of 120 million euros. Barcelona hopes he will be the perfect partner for the forward trio that has been filled by Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

However, Griezmann's name is even more often alienated from the main game holders of the La Blaugrana camp. Many rumors say that Griezmann is disliked.

What's worse, Griezmann, who performed well at Atletico, was nothing more than a complement to joining the Catalan club.

Ousmane Dembele

Togetherness Ousmane Dembele and Barcelona seems to be coming to an end. This of course cannot be separated from the bad appearance and attitude of the player.

The French national team player joined Barcelona in 2017. He was bought for 105 million euros or the equivalent of 1.6 trillion from Borussia Dortmund as a replacement for Neymar who moved to PSG.

Unfortunately, two seasons with Barcelona, Dembele's performance was far from satisfactory. He often gets injuries so he cannot appear consistently in the Blaugrana squad, so his playing hours are minimal.

Two years in the Blaugrana uniform, Dembele only appeared 51 times in the league and recorded 12 goals.
