In a record-breaking spending-spree summer, there have been twists and turns in the never-ending drama of the transfer window. Premier League audiences have been privy to Man United chief executive Ed Woodward scrambling for deals left, right and centre in a bid to eradicate the nightmarish summer of 2013, Aston Villa dipping into the dustbin of has-beens and rejects, and even the return of a certain Italian maverick. Maybe he's even brought that famous T-shirt with him? There have been some great pieces of business as clubs strive to improve themselves as they bid to move to the next level. Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa, Alexis Sanchez and Angel di Maria, amongst others, have had supporters salivating over their signatures, as chief executives complete these fabled 'statements of intent'. However, there have been a number of transfers that simply don't make sense for a number of reasons. Players have forfeited regular first-team football for a place on the bench, clearly ignoring the recent career trajectories of Scott Sinclair, Jack Rodwell and Demba Ba, while some clubs have been guilty have paying heinously extortionate fees for substandard talent. Crowd-appeasing signings have been sanctioned, but will ultimately prove to be the wrong fit for the club, such as Manchester United seeking to solve their midfield crisis with yet another centre-forward. Take a look at the ten Premier League transfer that simply don't make sense.
