10) Demba Ba
A top Premier League striker at Newcastle United, Demba Ba was never really given enough of a chance during his time at Chelsea, before being offloaded to Besiktas this summer.
9) Oriol Romeu
A promising young midfielder poached from Barcelona whose career stalled big time at Stamford Bridge due to a lack of playing time.
8) Yuri Zhirkov
A superb attacking left-back, Yuri Zhirkov is another player who never quite had the opportunity to show his best form when he moved to Chelsea.
7) Tal Ben Haim
A top centre-back at Bolton Wanderers, Tal Ben Haim’s career totally nosedived after he joined Chelsea, where he looked a shadow of his former self in a short-lived spell.
6) Claudio Pizarro
A player who only spent one season at Chelsea, Claudio Pizarro scored just two goals for the Blues and nearly ruined his career, though he has since gone on to shine again in the Bundesliga.
5) Mohamed Salah
A highly rated young winger signed by Chelsea last January, Mohamed Salah is already being linked with an exit due to a lack of first-team chances.
4) Marko Marin
A player who shone before moving to Chelsea, Marko Marin is another attacking midfielder with potential that the Blues couldn’t get the best out of.
3) Mateja Kezman
One of Europe’s most feared strikers prior to his move to Stamford Bridge, Mateja Kezman was a massive flop at Chelsea and didn’t last long with the club.
2) Andriy Shevchenko
Again, a truly world class striker when he arrived at Chelsea, Andriy Shevchenko simply never got going in the Premier League before being shipped back to his old club AC Milan.
1) Fernando Torres
Chelsea’s record signing, the £50m striker has to go down as one of the biggest flops of all time. Fernando Torres was world class at Liverpool and suffered a major dip in form when he moved to Stamford Bridge and never recovered.
