Everton’s worst ever signing

[Jamesblue90]

Unquestionably Gylfi. For the transfer fee, wages, effort/involvement levels and overall suitability to the Premier League (totally unathletic) it really was a dismal signing.
The only one close would be Klaasen if we hadn't have nipped it in the bud and got rid quick.
Oumar and Sandro where garbage, but the fees paid and wages paled in comparison to Gylfi.

Was it Nyarko who one of our fans tried to swap shirts with on the pitch in the middle of a game? I can't remember that much of him but think he was pretty bad most of the time. Whether or not he was our worst ever signing might be pushing it but he was certainly underwhelming.

I was there. The fella who went onto the pitch was a few rows from me.
Strolled around the pitch. Scott gemmill was on his own in the middle of the park that day.

Surprising to see Doucoure and Gbamin listed but Schneiderlin going under the radar.

short list of options

 

[Toffeelover]

Koeman.

 

[DanEFC92]

Bolasie, Tosun and Sigurdsson cost £99m combined in transfer fees. That's terrifying.

They've been every bit as bad as McGeady, Kone and McCarthy were, and cost four times more.

Walsh should be up on the list

 

[ElGato]

Went for B-O Wombrot. It's not fair that he made it as a professional footballer.

Woeful end product, emblem of the Fat Sam era, £20m fee and £100k a week. When we signed him my stomach sank

Yuck

It's Bolasie. Was flabbergasted at the fee at the time only for him to turn to be even worse than I feared. Praised for a "good attitude" when he knows he has got absolutely no chance of being involved under Ancelotti but doesn't want to move regardless.

Tosun gets off lightly in these polls. And Sandro is spared by coming on a "free"

Acknowledged my mistake earlier in the thread regarding that one. He’s just a forgettable person.

 

[Carlito]

It's a very competitive field, but I've had to go with Bolasie.

He wasn't even one of the best players at Crystal Palace, and Everton were in relegation form before injury took him out of the team.

Sigurdsson and Iwobi are probably the strongest contenders, as at least the rest of them eventually had the decency to leave.

 

[everton1953]

All clubs make bad signings and then move them on. It just seems that our record must be second to none with the sheer number of players who have proved a complete waste of space.

 

[Groucho]

Giving up Tony Cottee was the bad bit

I said this at the time.

Sold our striker when we needed goals.

To think within a year Everton were paying 28m for bolssie james maddison was going to leicester for 20m.
Nice one koeman.

 

[Prevenger17]

No idea why Doucoure is there, far too early to tell.

Anyone who says Niasse needs to meet me in the parking lot for summary execution.

 

[cooperman]

Of that list, it can only be between 2.

Klassen or Bolasie

Klassen literally did nothing. No goals or assists, so he just about edges it. But its close.

Bolasie had a song about him
Can't remember a word uttered in support of Davy
So klassen wins
