Some players have an unerring ability to attract an unreasonable amount of purchasers, despite the facts. They either cost too much, don’t play enough, or don’t score enough points to warrant their purchase. Some players may have a good start, but we believe it will not continue for various reasons.
What marks a great manager out from a good manager is his ability to spot the flash-in-a-pans, his sense of restraint and judgement that keep him from purchasing just because everyone else is.
So, here’s the list. Let us know what you think of it in the comments below. Is there someone you don’t agree with? Perhaps you’d put someone else up here?

Newcastle United take on Norwich City in the Premier League this afternoon at St. James’ Park. Kick-off time is at 3pm and the match won’t be screened live on UK television.
Here’s the team news ahead of the game…
In his pre-match press conference, Newcastle boss Alan Pardew confirmed that Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse will be his front two for today’s game.

Also reinstated to the first team are likely to be Jonas Gutierrez, Yohan Cabaye who were all rested for Thursday night’s 0-0 Europa League draw at Maritimo. Hatem Ben Arfa was completed his European ban for that game and rejoins the squad.
