      Markovic. Wow. I used to see him play for the U21s (probably as a punishment) and he just used to amble around with his hands in his pockets, whistling. Horrendous.

            He had been abused by his coach when a kid - was on a documentary a few years ago.

            Modifying post.

              Ah yes, that sounds familiar.

                        Think we need to put in some sort of criteria for worst signing, as plenty of our transfers have disappointed due to injuries, unreasonable expectation and not delivering on youthful promise.
                        How about worst based on:
                        Fee vs return (goals/assists/ performances)
                        Longevity
                        Hype vs reality

                          Fee vs return (goals/assists/ performances) - Naby
                          Longevity - Naby
                          Hype vs reality - Naby

                          Done, hahaha

                                In all seriousness (), he made 25 league appearances in his first season and that was the first time we had laid a glove on City, so it's not as if he didn't contribute. He made 129 appearances overall, more than 3/4's of all other players to play for us. He has won every trophy going with us and been here throughout our most successful period by far since the 80's.

                                In terms of worst signings, we must have the best worst signing of any club.

                                Naby.
                                If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?
