In the summer of 2009 , Cristiano Ronaldo left Old Trafford after three consecutive championships and the Ballon d'Or. He moved to Real Madrid for a world record fee. But instead of a worthy replacement star, MU brought in Mame Biram Diouf, Michael Owen and Gabriel Obertan. Only Antonio Valencia was a rare bright spot, otherwise, that summer was a long slide for the "Red Devils" after a glorious period. |

In July 2010, Fernando Torres returned to Liverpool with a sparkling World Cup gold medal around his neck. But what awaited him at Melwood was not glory, but a Liverpool devastated by many wrong decisions. Javier Mascherano and Xabi Alonso left one after another. The board brought in Joe Cole, Milan Jovanovic, Christian Poulsen and Paul Konchesky. Coach Rafa Benitez was replaced by Roy Hodgson, starting a period of crisis under the reigns of Tom Hicks and George Gillett. In the last 6 months at Anfield, Torres lost his inspiration to play. The 2010 transfer window became a disaster for "The Kop". |

After the thrilling championship with Sergio Aguero's goal, Man City invested more than 50 million pounds - a significant amount at that time, on Javi Garcia, Nastasic, Jack Rodwell, Sinclair and Maicon in the summer of 2012. None of them left their mark, and "The Citizens" lost the throne to MU with the rise of Robin van Persie. |

After selling Gareth Bale in the summer of 2013 , Tottenham poured money into a series of new players. Christian Eriksen was a rare success, but Paulinho, Soldado, Capoue, Chiriches and Chadli were all disappointing. Garth Crooks's remark about "Tottenham selling Elvis and buying The Beatles" later became a joke. |

In the summer of 2014 , after Luis Suarez joined Barcelona, Liverpool spent a lot of money to recruit many new players such as Rickie Lambert, Lazar Markovic, Adam Lallana, Emre Can, Divock Origi and Mario Balotelli. Among them, Origi made a great contribution to Liverpool winning the 2018/19 Champions League, but most of the time was disappointing. Overall, this was a wrong summer transfer for Liverpool. |

Arsenal had a strong squad with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil at their peak. However, the Gunners were complacent when they only brought in Petr Cech, an experienced goalkeeper who was past his prime, in the summer of 2015. In the context of the decline of their big rivals, Arsenal missed their best chance to win the championship in many years, thereby watching Leicester City write a fairy tale. |

Coach Antonio Conte asked Chelsea to strengthen their squad to defend the title. However, the move to exchange Diego Costa for Alvaro Morata in the summer of 2017 was a mistake. In addition, the 75 million pounds spent on Danny Drinkwater and Tiemoue Bakayoko only brought disappointment. Chelsea ended the season with a predicted collapse. |

Nearly 300 million pounds were poured by Chelsea into Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Zakaria... but most of them did not meet expectations. Currently, Cucurella is gradually getting into the rhythm, Fofana still has a future if he escapes the trauma of injury, and the other names are almost forgotten. Summer 2022 is a wake-up call for Chelsea's mess in the post-Roman Abramovich era. |

Newcastle are facing the risk of repeating the mistakes of the past of the big clubs. In the summer of 2025 , Alexander Isak announced that he wanted to leave, while coach Eddie Howe struggled to find suitable contracts. Losing key players and spending ineffectively is always a recipe for a failed season. The Premier League has never lacked expensive lessons. |
