Another Barcelona player who made the move to England and would later come to regret it was Bolo Zenden. Zenden joined Barca in 1998 from PSV and became a first team regular at the Nou Camp, making 25 and then 29 league appearances in his first two seasons at Barca. However, following the resignation of then-manager Louis van Gaal in 2000, Zenden saw his playing time dwindle and moved to Chelsea for £7.5 million in 2001. If the winger thought first team opportunities were easier to come by in England, he was sadly mistaken. He lasted just three seasons at Stamford Bridge - which took in a season-long loan at Middlesbrough - and struggled to maintain a consistent place in the starting line-up for the Blues. Zenden was sold to Middlesbrough in 2004 but endured an equally-miserable tenure at the Riverside, and was released after 12 months. Today he can be found playing for Sunderland.
