From Andy Carroll to Kleberson, the Premier League is the home of some of the most calamitous transfers in the history of the game.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City have all produced some true transfer shockers of late. We expect it from the big boys, they throw their money around like David Dickinson does with his fake tan and want results, but that is seldom the case. Last summer saw an intriguing window - clubs spent sporadically and there seemed to be a move away from breaking the bank for the big names.

This season has been the most shocking in the history of the league. Leicester are on course to win the title, Chelsea are struggling in mid-table and even Bournemouth have quietly caused raised eyebrows with their comfortable mid-table finish.

As you would expect in such a season, there have been a fair few appalling investments across the league.

Luckily we are here to remind you have the true howlers..

Memphis Depay

Signed as the brightest Dutch product in the last few years, Depay has been stifled by Van Gaal's rigid, strict football and he has fallen far short of expectations.

Although he is still only 22, Depay may well look to reboot his career elsewhere this summer.

His limp first season in England has fallen far short of his 22 goals and five assists in the Eredivisie last season.

Radamel Falcao

Falcao isn't a permanent signing, but his wages alone make this an absolute howler for Chelsea.

You would've thought Chelsea had learnt from the Fernando Torres nightmare, but evidently not. Injuries have damaged his career and they have made him largely unavailable for this season, too.

Christian Benteke

Benteke's transfer fee looked slightly above market value in the summer, but it looks extortionate now.

His game simply does not fit in with the gegenpressing demanded by Jurgen Klopp and his flaky performances were a key contributor to the downfall of Brendan Rodgers.

The Belgian has managed seven Premier League goals this season, despite his inconsistent form, but he may well be moving again this summer.

Oumar Niasse

Niasse is, in many ways, symbolic of Everton's plight this season.

Signed for a hefty fee late in the January window, the ex-Lokomotiv Moscow striker has only ever appeared off the bench for the Toffees. Romelu Lukaku could surely have done with the extra firepower during the second half of the season and Niasse, for all the investment, has been completely overlooked.

Whether its a case of not being fully fit or not, this signing is yet to bear fruit when Everton have desperately needed it.

Baba Rahman

Chelsea's nightmare with the left-back position has continued with Baba Rahman.

The lowest point was losing his place to Kenedy - a forward - when his defensive naivety was there for all to see. Poor performances defensively have overshadowed an instinct in the final third and a brilliant engine that would surely be of use.

However, injuries to John Terry and Kurt Zouma have given Rahman regular minutes at left-back and he is yet to prove that he is up to the standard of a top four club.
