14....A massive signing 10 years ago, this England striker never really recaptured his best form after the move. Darren Bent - Sunderland to Aston Villa (£24m)
13....Some signings are better off forgotten - this striker got just six league goals for his new club after a big move. Wilfried Bony - Swansea to Man City (£25m)
