#3 Brice Dja Djedje – Watford

If you remembered that Brice Dja Djedje went to Vicarage Road this summer, pat yourself on the back because even the club seemed to forget him. The Ivory Coast international joined Watford for £3m but didn’t even make their Premier League squad for the season.

In fact, the 26-year-old made two cup appearances all season, costing the London club £1.5m per appearance. A total of 99 minutes on the pitch means just over £30,000 per minute played and for all it did to help the Hornets advance, they might as well put it through a shredder or made fancy origami out of it.

Dja Djedje was a decent player in a struggling L’OM side the season before but English fans may never know if he’s actually any good. In what was a strange old season for Watford, signing him might have been the most peculiar, which is saying something.
