11. Yven Moyo
Signed: 2010 (from Sochaux) Transfer Fee: £150,000 Position: Winger/Left-Midfielder Newcastle United Appearances: 0 (2010-14) Newcastle United Goals: 0 Current Club: Laçi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFqxaThCK64 "Who?" you cry at the computer screen. Well, when Yven Moyo was signed by Newcastle from Sochaux for £150,000 in the summer of 2010, the young French winger was supposed to be a player who would progress to the Magpies first team and then set the Premier League alight over the following seasons. Obviously the opposite happened and, during four years on Tyneside, Moyo did not make a single Premier League appearance, instead leaving for Albanian side Laçi on a free transfer in 2014. Scouted by Carr and deemed a prospect for the future, this is one the "super scout" got very wrong indeed. Signing Rating: 1
