Worst ever PL signings by club

[RedReet]

useless hit and hope merchant.
13 league goals ever for us.

Disappointing? Yes. Useless? No.

Joined the club after the manager who wanted him had left and picked up a horrible injury. Probably wouldn't have made much difference, but at least he had an excuse.

[Reece]

Youth team graduate wasn't he?

I thought we signed him from Millwall? Wasn't he the most expensive teenager for a while or something?

[RichC]

yeah we bought him in from somewhere, possibly was Millwall.

[Drago]

Yip made him the most expensive teenager at one stage. Fee was just over a million I think.

Big enough money back then.

[Daniel 7]

Fuppin hell then yeah, what a waste of money. He was rubbish. Fanny dazzled by the big league fame by all accounts as well.

Got our money back for him though.

Never had the intelligence to be any good, 13 league goals is not good enough and when his pace goes his career will go because he is a totally one dimensional player.

[Daniel 7]

I thought he was better than Baros. Not that that says much. He was gash.

[Darkon]

Cisse was nowhere near the worst player we have ever bought, might not quite have been up to the standard, but was a usefull player that did okay, especially considering he was played out of position quite a lot.

Considering money involved Diouf is far the worst IMO closely followed by Diao

I wouldn't lambast those who played in istanbul such as cisse.
However here's a few me and a friend devised a world xi from the other night:
Diao, diouf, morientes, babel, biscan, josemi, kromkamp, pennant, pongolle, cheyrou, le tallec, degen, voronin, sissoko and pellegrino!
I'm not saying these were necessarily bas players they just weren't great at us (tongue in cheek ofcourse) any takers for kewell?

No way.

Sissoko post eye injury was a bit ****, but still...nowhere near the worst 11!

[Drago]

You can have 15 players and without a keeper it wont matter if you stick Gerrard in there.

[Kenneth]

Sissoko post eye injury was a bit ****, but still...nowhere near the worst 11!

He made some of the best tackles and interceptions that I've ever seen when he was still 'good'.

Remember this match?

An amazing one man wrecking ball at his best. Some awesome performances for us. Barca away was incredible.
