In the last ten years I think Patrick Kluivert ranks up there as the biggest disappointment or 'mistake' if you like...however, mistake may not be the right word because based on his Ajax performances there was nothing to indiciate he would not shine with Milan...he was young, hungry, captivating and Dutch (Milan's experience with the Dutch players was not exactly shabby). I would say that bringing in that trio: Kluivert, Reizeger and Bogarde had to be the biggest disappointment in a long time: Bogarde made a horrible back pass to the keeper in one of his first games only to cause a goal...Reizeger never got the hang of "Italian defending" and Kluivert...most of us know what he did..or didn't do.
Javi Moreno was another disappointment given his goal scoring record in Spain however, we learned long ago that scoring in la Liga and scoring in Italy is NIGHT AND DAY. Kluivert came off of a CL Title ... he had proven himself on a 'grand scale'.
Keeper Lehman was another major blunder in 1998.
