Club América: the 5 worst reinforcements in the history of Liga MX

Club America is one of the most economically powerful teams and undoubtedly the most popular along with Chivas de Guadalajara. Club America has always been characterized by making the bomb signings season after season in the Mexican football, on some occasions they have been successful with the hiring of great players such as the Brazilian Antonio Carlos Santos, Ivan Zamorano or Piojo Lopez and further back we can remember Carlos Reynoso, Enrique Borja, Oscar Ruggeri, Carlos Hermosillo, Miguel Zelada among many other historical ones.

However, Club America have also been in charge of bringing several lumps that have only come to collect millions of pesos without making any difference within the team. Undoubtedly one of the most recent great failures as a hiring for the club, has been the Colombian Roger Martinez who cost about 10 million dollars and only scored 2 goals in the last season, without a doubt one of the worst signings in history.

Another recent one that we cannot forget is the arrival of Jeremy Menez, who after proving to be a crack in teams like AC Milan, in Mexico simply spent the night. The Mexican league has always been characterized by having quality central defenders such as Rafael Marquez, Claudio Suarez, Magallon among many, however Club America decided to bring a large bulk directly from Venezuela, the Caribbean Osvaldo Vizcarrondo who arrived with a great poster and ended up being a total failure.

Another great failure occurred in the goal, where the club had always had great goalkeepers such as Miguel Zelada, Adrian Chavez, Adolfo Rios, however the board made the serious mistake of bringing in the Argentine goalkeeper Sebastian Saja, who cost a fortune and only played 4 matches. Finally, among several bulks, the winner is taken by the Argentine striker Lucas Castroman, who played 14 games with the club without scoring a single goal, when he had arrived with a large European cartel, playing for Lazio and Udinese.
