Your Most Expensive Signing?

The question is in the title.Who was your most expenisve signing on Football Manager? Was he a total flop or did he turn out to be like Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid,who is currently the world's most expensive footballer.

I was playing on my laptop with Manchester City and I was on the verge of signing Didier Drogba from Chelsea for around £92million (I think) in my second season.Chelsea were asking around £100million plus but Drogba wanted to leave after I 'lured him in' .Unfortunately my laptop needed repairing so technically I haven't signed him yet but when it does come back I will have.

Who was your most expenisve signing on Football Manager?

On cm08 I signed Cristiano Ronaldo with real madrid for 86m. On Fm though the highest I ever payed is £67m for Torres with Man City three seasons in.
I tend to avoid signing a player for over £20m now unless he's a youngster, because the amount of times that they have turned out to be flops is countless

£20m - Georginio Wijnaldum in FM09 about 6-7 seasons into it. Not a flop, not an instant superstar, but probably not worth the 20 mil.

In my current save, £1.8m on a centre back regen.

Not really into splashing the cash to be honest. I paid 21.5M for Bale and that is the most expensive signing I have ever made. He was nothing special. A good solid player but he never stood out for me.

Heres one for yas.
Pato: £35million
Robiniho: £20million
Cristiano Ronaldo: £65 million
Fabregas: £157million
Kaka: £142million
David Villa: £64million

As u can tell im a bit mad. Playing as everton all signings over a long period of time. in 2013-14 season. money raised by winning league a few times and selling baines, arteta, yakubu, saha after they had storming seasons. little tip if u spread the cost over a few years for the players ur more likely to sign them. Although my club is now £400million in the red. lol. Pato flopped but other than that theyre all quality. trying to sign tevez
