Re: Who is our worst signing?
Dyer no chance. We just got crazy unlucky with injuries with him.
Cost and perceived importance to the team vs performance has to be key here and how badly they fuck the club rather than just the shittest players we have ever signed on talent alone seen as several of them would have been peanuts and not made a dent.
Kilman has to be a really good shout and possibly the worst of the worst
Felipe Anderson was god awful
Scamacca and Haller not because they were shit per se but cost vs ROI
JWP
Alvarez
Vlasic
Hermansen could be well up there when all is said and done
Todibo
I've probably forgotten a few. An alarming amount from the last decade, but i suppose prices have never been higher and we have had to put up with 'talent spotter' Sullivan ruling the roost. None of those were without his tacit approval or flat out him acting alone.

Re: Who is our worst signing?
Not as far as I can remember, although may be wrong.
I do seem to recall him also suffering a broken foot, not too long after the broken leg.

Hardly his fault.
For me, probably the fucking spastic Roberto. Totally derailed what might have been a promising season by having the athletic prowess of Elsie Tanner.
Didn’t he break his leg before we signed him?

I always thought Mavropanos was bad, but he's Paolo Maldini compared to the clown twosome of Todibo and Kilman.

Re: Who is our worst signing?
Robbie Keane who at least scored a couple of goals in 9 appearances. We've had far far worse.
Re: Who is our worst signing?
Yep - especially when one of the first things he said was a dig at the Academy of Football saying that no-one knows what it is. From then on you knew it was going to be dreadful.

Re: Who is our worst signing?
Evra has to be up there too, I think we lost by 4 goals every game he started. Didn't have a club when we signed him, couldn't get a club when we ditched him.
Let's be honest though, it's Roberto

Re: Who is our worst signing?
Remember Sullivan doing one of his specials on January deadline day and signing Henri Camara from Wigan on loan for the rest of the season.
We couldn't wait to get rid and he couldn't wait to leave

Re: Who is our worst signing?
We've got four candidates in the current squad. The aforementioned pathetic centre back duo. The shit fucking disaster midget goalkeeper and the ugly fucking donkey German that purports to be a striker. Around 120m spent on those four CUNTS.
Re: Who is our worst signing?
We've had 3 worse ones this year already
Re: Who is our worst signing?
Gary Breen doesn't come near the worst, i'd have him back tomorrow.
He does a lot of premier league commentary/punditry over here in Ireland and he's always spot on about west ham and very funny as well.

Re: Who is our worst signing?
Where do you start! Even as free agents they were shit and on big wages, Jack Wilshire comes to mind though as does Serhiy, Rebrov.
So many over the years you could write a book, Gary Breen of course is another standout

Titi Camara … 50yo ‘striker’
Benny McCarthy … couldn’t even bother giving up the pies
to play in a once in a lifetime home World Cup in S Africa
After he left his shorts were used as a pitch cover

Re: Who is our worst signing?
Wilshere has to be up there. Quashie too. It would be a very long list
Re: Who is our worst signing?
I agree, as far as a manager goes Allardyce is the worst.
Hated that prick!

Re: Who is our worst signing?
Sam Allardyce
Thats when I whew this regime didn't care a fuck about our history.
Player wise Sandy Clarke is up there, David Kelly to replace McAvennie was pretty bad as was MacKnight to replace Parkes. Of this era Zaza must be up there surely.

Re: Who is our worst signing?
Kilman financially (a sleeping giant)
Is there a pulse ?
Other notable mentions
Charles (pissed)
Jones (crocked )
And any other deal involving Harry the Spiv after the Rio deal.

No way Song should be on that list. Only cost a couple of million. Was excellent header of the ball. Would take him now over any of current centre backs.
