4. Shinji Kagawa

  8 / 11 
  Shinji Kagawa of Manchester United in action with Robert Snodgrass of Norwich during the Barclays Premier League match between Manchester United and Norwich City at Old Trafford on March 2, 2013 in Manchester, England

When Kagawa moved to Manchester United from Borussia Dortmand for  £17 million, much was expected of the Japanese midfielder. However, he has struggled to adjust to the Premier League so far and has generally given some below par performances. He did have one good game against Norwich, in which he scored a hat-trick (becoming the first Asian to do so in the Premier League). In general, he has struggled to make the United first team and has only made 2 league assists so far the season. Which isn't good enough for a playmaker whose team has scored 69 league goals this season.

    Cisse has definitely been one of the most disappointing, especially from his promise of last season. He needs to stop trying to score worldies.
