I think it's a tie between Rivaldo and Batistuta, but I'd go for Rivaldo cos we all knew Batistuta lost it last season.

Can we not still include Mendieta? :P Wouldn't say Rivaldo because he hasn't been given much of a chance.

Mendieta would have been the previous year, this year he was at Barca from the start :)

Rivaldo has been given few chances, and blew them all. No wonder Barca let him go on a free.

I'd rephrase it into 'one of inter's biggest mistakes...' :) I can name you (and even Interista can) many players who were boght for a high amount and then never even played with the first team.

Batistuta is among the top 20 highest paid players in the world. That's so stupid, how can someone give him that much money when he hardly does anything nowadays? Moratti :rolleyes:

Batististuta was loaned from Roma, not bought. Hope Inter can terminated the contract at the end of the season wihout extra costs.

Some of Inter flops,
(1997-1998 coach Simoni): Roberto Baggio :crying :crying :crying :crying
(1999-2001 coach Marcelli Lippi): Hakan Suker, Robbie Keane, Javier Farinos, Vampeta, Frey
(2001-2003 coach Cuper): Binotto, Okan, Georgatos, Adriano, Batistuta, Umit Davala


Biggest Flop: RECOBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The highest salary of all Inter players, but Vieri, Crespo, Kallon, Ventola and even Martins are better

Doesn't surprise you zizou that I voted on my dear friend Recoba

we let him go on a free coz van gaal is a c***. we can't judge players on one season. remember how rui costa did in his forst season at ac milan? and look at him now! rivaldo isn't given enough chances, anyway.

Rui Costa has been crap this season too when compared to his Fiorentina days. He hasn't scored a single league goal for Milan in 2 years :o With Fiorentina he would bag around 10 each year.

Batistuta has 2 more years with Inter; I'm pretty sure he was purchases as Sensi laughed at Moratti after the sale, saying he sold them an old sole or something like that.

He was loaned because Inter didn't wanted to play that much for him .Batigol is 34 year old. Inter would not be that stupid to give a 34 year old player a two year contract.

Another Inter flop: Guly

Definitely Rivaldo..although Batistuta wasn't much this year either, but like Zizou said, he was past it anyway..
