5 biggest transfer flops of this season so far

UC Sampdoria v Juventus - Serie A

#1 Leonardo Bonucci

AC Milan v KF Shkendija 79 - UEFA Europa League Qualifying Play-Offs Round: First Leg
Bonucci- one of the best defenders in the world?

Considered as one of the best centre-backs in the world, Leonardo Bonucci moved from Juventus to AC Milan as part of a £35 million deal. He was a part of the successful Juventus team but decided to move because of his disagreements with Massimiliano Allegri.

Labelled by many as, DEAL OF THE SUMMER, Bonucci's move turned out to be a disaster. Given the captain's armband, Bonucci crumbled under huge pressure and expectations. AC Milan are 7th in the Serie A table, struggling for consistency.

They were able to keep only 5 clean sheets in 14 Serie A games, allowing the opponents to score 18 times. After spending more than €150 million on players in the summer transfer window, the performances of AC Milan have been very disappointing, to say the least.

Fans have already turned the heat on Bonucci after Milan's 0-0 draw against AEK Athens in a Europa League game. A Facebook event was created to highlight Bonucci's failure and things could not get much worse for AC Milan.
