In terms of players we have signed for big money (relatively for us).
If you think of other teams in the Prem our signings /success ratio must be fairly high.
I can only think of a handful of failures over the last 10 years (I.e. Gibson, Drinkwater (Loan) etc)

I'd forgotten about Wells - that was a strange one!
United seem to be the biggest offenders. they have had loads of big big signings that just haven't worked. But I think clubs like Brighton, Arsenal and Fulham must be up there too.

Generally we seem to buy well and sell well, some good players have left here.
