Bristol City have done some really smart business over the years.

However, they have suffered from a fair amount of transfer flops in the past.

We've compiled a list of some of their biggest flops and most disappointing arrivals....

Diony was something of a left-field signing when he joined the Robins on loan in the summer of 2017.

He'd had success for Dijon but his time at Ashton Gate was undoubtedly a failure. The Frenchman appeared just seven times and failed to score a single goal.

City fans may look back on Savage's time at the club fondly due to his often extravagant style of play but the honest truth is he was a poor signing.

The striker signed in 2005 and despite making 23 appearances for the Robins, found the net just once.

A former England goalkeeper and a Premier League stalwart, the arrival of James at Ashton Gate was one that seemed pretty exciting.

The shot-stopper's performances for the Robins, however, left a lot to be desired and his time with City is likely one that both he and the club would sooner forget.

John joined on loan from Southampton in 2008 as a potential solution to some of the Robins' struggles in the final third.

He proved anything but that, scoring just twice in his 25 appearances for the South West club and missing some pretty impressive opportunities.

The journeyman defender's time at City was distinctly forgettable. The 36-year-old has made nearly 400 appearances in the football league and his time at Ashton Gate is likely where he had the least effect.

Arriving in 2010, Hunt made just eight appearances for the Robins in total and was nothing short of underwhelming.

Fredericks did not last long at Ashton Gate but since his exit has gone from strength to strength, earning himself a Premier League move.

The right-back arrived in the summer of 2015 and left in the same transfer wind0w, making just five appearances.
