So we all know players aren't very loyal these days but which ones do you think were the most ridiculous when it came to changing clubs every season?

My number one pick has to be Benito Carbone, the guy played for a staggering 17 clubs! The longest he played for a single club was three years, for Sheffield Wednesday. That was back in the day when foreign players were considered an exotic luxury in the EPL.

1988–1990 Torino 8 (0)
1990–1991 Reggina 31 (5)
1991–1992 Casertana 31 (4)
1992–1993 Ascoli 28 (6)
1993–1994 Torino 28 (3)
1994–1995 Napoli 29 (4)
1995–1996 Inter 32 (2)
1996–1999 Sheffield Wednesday 96 (25)
1999–2000 Aston Villa 23 (4)
2000–2001 Bradford City 42 (10)
2001–2002 Derby County 13 (1)
2002 Middlesbrough 13 (1)
2002–2003 Como 22 (2)
2003–2004 Parma 19 (4)
2004–2005 Catanzaro 27 (7)
2005–2006 Vicenza 28 (5)
2006 → Sydney FC (loan) 3 (2)
2007–2009 Pavia

These are his stats, what a clown.:lol: Christian Vieri comes a close second with 14 clubs. Have i missed anyone else that would topple Carbone?

    I missed this post. Maybe you forgot about him but not to have heard about him? He was one of the hottest strikers in europe. I always thought he'd end up in La Liga during his stint with Porto, the guy scored like a goal per game.

    No matter how good or bad a player he might have been, he made a lot of the possibility to travel around the world working. He even wrote a book about that. This guy knows a lot about the world and its inhabitants and last, but not least, about football.
