      Jeffers and Marlet have to be in with a shout up front, Rebrov too and possibly considering the values of the transfer Shevchenko.

        Richard Wright should be in there. Per Koldrup's surely worthy of a place in the matchday squad.

          Add Coraddo Grabi to the list - didn't Souey pay about £7M for him and he lasted one season? And couldn't score for toffee? Or what about Stephane Gui'varche? Another Newcastle flop (did nothing apart from score against us - wonder how many other **** players we're generous to). Or Andreas Andersson.

          Then, as my City supporting mate always reminds me, there's "Buster" Phillips (think this was his name). Alan Ball brought him in and declared he would be the first £10M player - only for him to end up at Exeter a few months later

            Didn't Grabbi score against us? I'm sure he did. He went on the already long list of really wank strikers who never ever scored against anybody but us...

            Grabbi
            Facundo Sava (hat-trick!)
            Kevin Lisbie (hat-trick!)
            Helder Postiga
            Forlan
            Szilard Nemeth
            Casiraghi (only goal for Chelsea)
            Michael Proctor

            There are tons more. Happens all the time.
            Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

              One of my favourite goals of all time, purely for the comedy factor as babb wraps his sweetbreads around the post in an attempt to stop the ball going over the line.

                  Didn't Newcastle buy a Spanish CB for about £5m and he only play about twice? Can't for the life of me remember his name - it was about 4 years ago (maybe more).

                      Boulahrouz, Maccarone, Flo (at Sunderland) also deserve dishonourable mentions.

                          Kleberson, Man U.

                          They actually bought the wrong one that really is quality scouting

                          Djemba-Djemba, even a more laughable signing than Diao.
                          Just believe and you never know what will happen.

                          According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

                            Can we count Owens time at the Barcodes as a flop?
                            "Through me the way into the suffering city,
                            Through me the way to the eternal pain,
                            Through me the way that runs among the lost.
                            Justice urged on my high artificer;
                            My maker was divine authority,
                            The highest wisdom, and the primal love.
                            Before me nothing but eternal things were made,
                            And I endure eternally.
                            Abandon every hope, ye who enter here."


                            And like that… he's gone

                              What is the name of that Everton defender that could not head the ball?
