We asked you to name the most expensive flops in the club’s history and you’ve come forward with suggestions in their droves.
Some came at a sizable cost relative to their era or the Blues’ standing at that time, while others may not have commanded a big fee but did require a lot of cash to fund their wages.
Brace yourself as we name the big-money duds you nominated...

2. Jhon Viafara
The former Colombian international started his career in England with Pompey after joining in July 2005. His move failed to hit the heights expected as he managed to make 15 outings during his season-long stay. Following a spell in Spain, the midfielder returned to the south coast, joining Southampton, where he spent two seasons. Viafara was jailed for 11-years in the USA in 2021 after being found guilty of trafficking £21m worth of cocaine into the United States from Colombia. Photo: Mike Hewitt
