Who is our worst signing?

[Nutsin]

I’ve got Kieran Dyer.

Who you got?

[Far Cough UKunt]

Benni McCarthy called Karren Brady" the devil with a set of tits". This comment was a retort after Brady had heavily criticized him in her newspaper column for his performance at the club. The public argument continued with each of them trading insults, with Brady famously responding to his sexist jibe by saying, "At least I'm supposed to have tits".

Hahaha

[southbankbornnbred]

My god, I'm getting flashbacks reading through this thread. Watched far too many of the absolute bilge mentioned on here. The price tags on many of them bordered on criminal.

[southbankbornnbred]

Todibo is giving Kilman a run for his money.

That's just not true. Todibo doesn't run.

[zebthecat]

Because of how much he cost, Max Kilman is the most disastrous signing we have ever made.
Roberto the goalkeeper.
The black teenager we paid a fortune for. Can't remember hs name

Savio?

[BerlingtonBertie]

Freddie Ljungberg was finished when signed on massive wages and a waste of space.

[Mad Dog]

Fucking hell weve had some candidates.  Glad someone mentioned benni Mccarthy.  If the fat cսnt could t be arsed to get motivated to play in the world cup
in his own country he was hardly gonna bother doing it for us was he

Robbie Keane was dogshit too and cost us points missing sitters

titi fuckign camara 
Boogers

Nigel quashie

Calvin phillips was one of the worst players l've ever seen in my life

Roberto was worse than allen mcknight and that hermanson doesn't look much better.  But hes stuck behind an abysmal defence.

90%.of our current squad are beyond shit. Especily that cսnt kilman

Fuck me its fun being a west ham fan

[BBondsBootlaces]

Davor Suker?

All that talent and we got none of it. 

[RBshorty]

Boogers.
Kelly.
Mido.(Then again. All striker’s bought under the current regime could be put in here.)
DEADLY DON. The Return. 
Dicks 2nd time around.

Let’s face it. We are a hot bed for.”Has Beens.” And “Never Will Be’s”!

[iphammer]

Todibo 
He is shit and doesn't want to be at the club, the same  with 
Rodríguez

[goose]

Todibo is giving Kilman a run for his money.

[Eerie Decent]

Roberto is the worst ever player to step on the field for this football club. But the context there is he was a free transfer, and brought in as a back up keeper, even though he was literally throwing the ball into our net. It's incredible just how bad he was.

But the worst signing, pound for pound, given the situation at the time, is Benni McCarthy.

Said it recently on another thread, but he had played against us that season, and he was the size of a fucking whale in that game and couldn't move. We were bang in relegation trouble, we were lacking a striker, lacking pace, and Victor Moses was available from Palace for £2.5mil and had been playing up front. It was the only cash we had, and we signed that finished fat cսnt with our last bit of cash when we were genuinely skint. He waddled through a few games, never scored, he literally couldn't run, which we knew BEFORE he signed. At least most of the players being mentioned on this thread tried, even if they were shit. He didn't try a leg.

Kilman is getting close, even though he was only part of a big spending spree unlike the cսnt above, but given he was £40mil, and in my eyes is the biggest weakness in a team that is going to get relegated, he is firmly in the conversation.

The Kalvin Phillips thing was bizarre. £7mil he cost us, even though it was only on loan. Had previously been very good for England, signed for big money from Man City, and he looked like he'd been plucked out of the women's 4th division to play in the Prem. I reckon he was probably the one player where the difference between what was expected and what we got was the most stark.

 

[honky cat]

Pellegrini and husillos definitely unearthed some treasures

Carlos sanchez 

Obvs we are complaining now about kilman and todibo, but the big disasters and financial losses started with pellegrini and we still havent recovered. The Rice money and the european run probably kept the club from collapsing. 

I think someone who isnt me should do a few sums and stats to properly crown the "worst ever signing" 

[El Scorchio]

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.

[MaryMillingtonsGhost]

Didn’t he break his leg before we signed him?

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.

[Nutsin]

Kieron Dyer is nowhere near to being the worst.


 

 

Agreed. Suffered a horrific leg break against Bristol City and never fully recovered.
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.

[Far Cough UKunt]

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

[Tomshardware]

Robbie Keane hahaha its endless!

 

 

 

 

Robbie Keane who at least scored a couple of goals in 9 appearances. We've had far far worse.

[scott_d]

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.

I agree, as far as a manager goes Allardyce is the worst.
Hated that prick! 

 

 

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.

[Mr Anon]

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 

[Sydney_Iron]

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

[Vexed]

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. 

[Mr Anon]

Zaza, Ljungberg, Roberto...

[Mr Anon]

We've had 3 worse ones this year already
