Top 10 Premier League flops of the 2013/14 season so far, with Tottenham & Chelsea summer signings

Manchester City and Manchester United
players also feature in this top 10 let
down list...
10) Danny Graham - Hull City
No goals, no assists, and not much very
good whatsoever. In fact, the last time
Graham scored a goal, Margaret thatcher
was still alive, Aaron Ramsey was still
rubbish and people were still incessantly
doing the Gangnam Style dance.
9) Willian - Chelsea
Has Willian been especially awful?
Probably not, no... But if a player arrives
for over £30m, football fans should
rightly be expecting something special,
and the Brazilian (one super strike against
Norwich apart) has simply not delivered.
To be fair, he hasn't rally been given
many chances to do so anyway...
8) Papiss Cisse - Newcastle
Whatever happened to the goal-hungry
fans' favourite that stepped out at St.
James' Park under two years ago...?
Nowadays, Cisse can't get in the Magpies
starting lineup, and hasn't scored a goal
all season. Dear me.
7) Marouane Fellaini - Manchester United
For £27.5m on deadline day, Fellaini is
increasingly looking like a very expensive
panic buy. He doesn't seem to fit into
United's passing style, and his technical
weaknesses have been clear for everyone
to see.
6) Roberto Soldado - Tottenham
For £26m, quite frankly, Spurs fan were
hoping for an awful lot more - especially
when you see how well the slightly
cheaper Alvaro Negredo is doing at
Manchester City. Soldado has only scored
once in the league from open play, and
could well lose his starting spot to
Jermain Defoe if his barren spell
continues.
5) Jozy Altidore - Sunderland
The American forward hasn't scored a
single Premier League goal since his £8m
move from Holland in the summer. 'Nuff
said.
4) Ricky Van Wolfswinkel - Norwich
When the Dutchman signed, many fans
from opposing sides were congratulating
the Canaries for snapping up the
previously prolific striker. After just one
Premier League goal, these same fans
are just grateful their clubs didn't take a
punt on the totally out of form forward.
3) Erik Lamela - Tottenham
The silky Argentine has had a total
shocker. Signed as Gareth Bale's long-
term replacement for a club record fee,
Lamela has ludicrously only made one
Premier League start so far. Whenever he
has got on the field, he's been pretty
drab, too.
2) Joe Hart - Manchester City
During the 2011/12 season, when City
won the Premier League, Hart was widely
regarded as 'head and shoulders' above
every other keeper in the country. A
succession of error-strewn performances
though, have led to Hart being dropped by
new coach Manuel Pellegrini. The word is
that the Chilean boss is so disappointed
with Hart's form, he'll look to replace him
in January.
1) Juan Mata - Chelsea
Last season, Mata was comfortably one
of the best players in the country. Now, he
can't even get game time with the Blues,
and is at risk of losing his World Cup spot
with Spain next summer. He'll almost
definitely demand a move away from
Stamford Bridge come January.

I Will Join APC if ASUU Calls Off Strike- President Jonathan


A source close to the presidency told
Hot Swen media this morning, that

abandon the People’s Democratic Party
(PDP) for the newly established All
Progressives Congress (APC) if the

Jonathan held a closed door meeting

appealed to them to intervene in the

academic staff union of Universities
(ASUU) have refused to end.
Our source told Hot Swen media that
when the APC party national
chairman , Chief Adebisi Oganga, asked
what the president was willing to give
in return if they made the lecturers call
of the strike, President Jonathan said, he will join APC.
