10) Jack Grealish

It may be slightly harsh to put the midfielder on the list of worst signings but, for £100m, you would have expected more of an impact.

Since arriving from Aston Villa in the summer of 2021, Grealish has scored 14 goals and contributed 18 assists in 122 appearances. It’s a very average return for the club’s record signing.

9) Ferran Torres

The Spaniard did show some promise following his £20.8m move from Valencia in the summer of 2020, scoring 13 goals in 36 appearances during his first season at the Etihad.


However, it became clear that Torres wasn’t interested in a long-term stay at the club and, when Barcelona showed their interest, he quickly packed his bags.
