What I enjoy most about international tournaments is when players have an absolute blinder of a tournament which earns them a move to a big club only for it to turn out that they aren't very good. Let's run through some famous examples, I'll start
El-Hadji Diouf & Salif Diao to Liverpool in 2002.
Keep them coming.. |  | | |  |

Although Gooners might view Mesut Özil as the biggest failure, even if he too wasn't that bad. No idea whether helping Germany to the 2012 Euros semi-final influenced Wenger, the Professor probably already knew what he needed to know. |  |

Norwich signed that Northern Irish keeper after he’d had a great Euros in 2016 and was pretty hopeless for them |  |

I debated whether to include both.
Neither really lived up to their initial promise, which was hyped by performances at World Cup 2006 and Euro 2008. |

Arshavin was pretty good for Arsenal for a couple of years.

I was always under the impression that Marek Hamsik was signed after an impressive Euros/World Cup, but looking at his transfer history, he joined Napoli in 2007 and has been there since. Maybe I just signed him on Football Manager on the back of a good World Cup/Euros... I imagine there must be at least a few of those to consider. |  |
