The 5 best and 5 worst signings of the 2015-16 Premier League

(Baonghean.vn) -The 2015-2016 Premier League has just one more round to go. This is the season in which the highest league in the "foggy country" has set a transfer record, when 20 teams in this league have spent a total of more than 1 billion pounds. However, the new contracts have brought about different results.

5 worst contracts:

1.Marc Claren (Newcastle):The home team's management hopes that the former England coach will restore his position as the "steering" coach in the Premier League after a series of unsatisfactory seasons. With 70 million pounds spent on strengthening the squad, names such as Winajdum, Mitrovic, Jonjo Shelvey, Townsend... Mr. Marc Claren still only brought disappointment to everyone.

Newcastle's free fall to the bottom of the table has seen their owners sack Marc Claren and replace him with Rafa Benitez. Having helped Newcastle return to the First Division, Marc Claren is the most disappointing signing in the Premier League in 2015-2016.

2. Memphis Depay (MU):Moving to MU from PSV for 25 million pounds, Depay is expected by MU to become a new star at Old Trafford, as evidenced by the Dutch player being given the legendary number 7 shirt of the Red Devils.

But what Depay showed was just a disappointment. Due to his unserious training attitude, his performances were very lackluster. It is not an exaggeration to say that: Depay is the "flop" that MU's Board of Directors brought to Old Trafford last season.

3. Benteke (Liverpool):Moving to Anfield for a staggering fee of 32 million pounds, the former Aston Villa striker is expected to fill the void left by Torres and Suarez. Benteke is the key player that the Kop's management has used to revive Liverpool, winning titles in the 2015-2016 season, especially the Premier League.

After nearly a year at Anfield, the Belgian player has brought great disappointment. Most likely, this is Benteke's last and only season in a Liverpool shirt.

4. Sterling (MC):Starling's transfer from Liverpool to Manchester City has consumed a lot of ink in the press, along with the anger of the port city's fans. After an impressive start, the England international has suffered injuries and lost his form.

In the final stages of the season, Sterling often became a friend of the bench. Perhaps, the price of 39 million pounds is a big pressure that makes Sterling have an unsuccessful season at MC.

5. Alexander Pato (Chelsea):Borrowed from Corinthians by the Stamford Bridge team in the winter transfer period, he was expected to share the attacking burden with Diego Costa. However, the "duck" has made Chelsea fans and his fans extremely disappointed.

With only one goal (penalty against Aston Villa), and a few substitute appearances, Pato did not contribute significantly to the West London team. Although it was only a loan contract, the former AC Milan player deserves to be one of the most disappointing new players in the 2015-2016 season.

Besides those "flops", the Premier League still achieved certain results in its two shopping markets last season.

5 most successful contracts:

1.Ranieri (Leicester City):Needless to say, when Leicester City won the Premier League 2015-2016 championship with 2 rounds to go, it was enough to honor the "welder". Coming to the "foxes" in the skepticism of experts and fans, the Italian coach turned Leicester City from a team that escaped relegation in the last round of the season, into the champion after nearly 1 year.

That achievement is like a modern-day fairy tale, written by Ranieri and his students. Therefore, the Roma strategist is the most successful contract in the Premier League this season.

2. Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City):The resounding success of the "foxes" in the Premier League 2015-2016, cannot be mentioned without mentioning the Algerian player. With 17 goals scored, along with 11 assists, Riyad Mahrez and Vardy are the ones who contributed greatly to the championship of the "foxes". Before the beginning of August last year, the name Mahrez was completely unfamiliar to fans.

An unknown player came to the "foggy country" with a transfer fee of about 579,000 USD. But after only a few months, Mabrez's value increased approximately 80 times (about 45 million USD). Many teams have expressed their desire to have the signature of the Algerian player. Recently, Mahrez was voted by the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) as the best player of the 2015-2016 season. After coach Ranieri, Mahrez is the most successful deal not only for Leicester City but also in the Premier League this season.

3. Martial (MU):Becoming a member of the Old Trafford team when the summer transfer market of 2015 was about to close. The striker dubbed "the new Thierry Henry" left Monaco with many doubts from experts and fans. The transfer fee of 36 million pounds for a 19-year-old player really made people skeptical.

But all was erased when witnessing the first goal, in the first match Martial wore the MU shirt, that was a beautiful goal he scored against rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford. Although Van Gaal's MU did not play successfully this season, the "new Thierry Henry" still performed very well in the matches he participated in. The French striker won the Young Player of the 2015-2016 season award, voted by the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA). He is very worthy of the money that MU spent.

4. Slaven Bilic (West Ham):One of the interesting impressions of the Premier League this season is the name West Ham. This is the team that has made the big guys feel regret. MU, Arsenal, Liverpool, MC... had to accept painful defeats against the team nicknamed "the hammers". Behind those resounding achievements is the architect Slaven Bilic.

Under his guidance, West Ham is not only a nemesis of the "big guys", but also has achieved a fairly high position in the rankings, above Liverpool and Chelsea. The ticket to the Europa League next season is firmly in the hands of Slaven Bilic's students. Thus, after less than 1 year at Upton Park, Bilic has shown how wise the West Ham Board of Directors was in recruiting him.

5. Payet (West Ham):Dubbed the "new Zidane", the Frenchman has won over even the most demanding West Ham fans in a short time. He is the soul of the style of play that coach Bilic has built for the team nicknamed "the hammers".

Piyet's excellence has contributed greatly to a successful season for West Ham. Thanks to that, he has been recalled by coach Deschamps to the French national team to prepare for the Euro finals in June. As a testament to a brilliant season, Piyet was voted the Club's Player of the Year by West Ham fans and has also had his contract extended by the club's Board of Directors until 2021.
