And the dishonourable winner of the worst transfer of the year goes to... FC Barcelona, for the transfer of Malcom!

It almost seems like the starlet has played lesser minutes than the number of millions Barcelona spent on him. At least in the Champions League, it is the truth - as Malcom has played for a brief 30 minutes, six minutes lesser than his price of £36 million.

In LaLiga, the 21-year-old has only mustered 97 (5 appearances) minutes or so and is yet to get off the mark. In the UCL, he has a goal to his name, as well as in the cup.

Malcom has sporadically produced moments of brilliance from the wider areas, but an average observer too can tell that from the onus of getting into the box to the defensive duties, the winger has loads to learn.

It's not just about expressing oneself from the flanks, but a lot more that goes into being a part of the Barcelona DNA.
