Newcastle look set to be one of the busiest clubs in the Premier League over the next few days.The mega-rich Magpies are desperate for new recruits to boost their survival bid and are willing to pay big bucks to get them.But Newcastle haven't always had the greatest success when it comes to shelling out the cash in the transfer window.The club have made their fair share of transfer disasters over the years - so many, in fact, that there's almost enough for a full team of Newcastle transfer flops.As Newcastle hunt for ways to improve their squad, Daily Star Sport takes a look at 11 of the worst signings Newcastle have ever made...Thauvin arrived at St James Park in a £14million move from Marseille with a lot of hype, but, ultimately, the French winger was one of the biggest transfer flops in recent Toon history.Despite being signed as a replacement for another uninspiring winger on this list, Thauvin could only muster one goal in 16 appearances and was swiftly shipped back to France.Thauvin wound up back at Marseille on an 18-month loan before he rejoined on a permanent basis.After lighting up Ligue 1 for the past few years, Thauvin is now plying his trade in Mexico with Tigres UANL.Who do you think is the worst signing on this list?

Let us know what you think in the comments section below...The other half of Newcastle's expensive £24m transfer mishap, Cabella was another Ligue 1 star who couldn't hack the Premier League after he was signed as a replacement for the prolific Hatem Ben Arfa.Amazingly, Cabella had an enough worse time on Tyneside than Thauvin after somehow establishing himself as first-choice.The Frenchman managed just one goal in 31 appearances following his £10m move, so it was no surprise when he too was.
