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...

11. Gary Stevens

12. Tal Ben Haim
Probably one of the most reviled Pompey players in recent history. Commanded £36,000-a-week wages and did little to justify that outlay. Then refused to budge on a compromise deal with the club on the brink of liquidation. Photo: Bryn Lennon
