11. Tal Ben Haim
Tal Ben Haim was thought, at the time, to be a man who could play multiple positions in Mourinho’s Chelsea lineup. Ben Haim was able to be a fill-in when Mourinho needed his services, but the Israeli international was unable to earn first-team football when better options were available. The decision to bring Ben Haim to Chelsea was made to look even worse when the player became a journeyman in English football. Ben Haim was a poor Mourinho signing even before Manchester City learned that he did not have the necessary quality to play for a championship contender.
