Everton’s worst ever signing

[grandjoeblue]

No one better vote for Billy

He scored some absolute BELTERS

We bought Bily for about 9m and sold him for 6m, scored a number of brilliant goals. Was a poor signing but we have had much worse.

Probably scored more belters than the £45m man tbh.

Niasse objectively the worst player IMO, and was big money at the time (think in the top five most expensive signing for us at the time). OTOH he was an unknown quantity so there was at least a possibility of an upside, even if it was an absolutely clownish gamble.

The Bolassie, though, my God. No gamble at all there. 100% proven championship / low level prem player that couldnt possibly improve us, yet we paid 28mill or whatever it was.

Iwobi.
Arsenal must have thought they were dreaming when we rolled up and presented them 25(?) million pounds for him.

Atleast Siggurdsson scored 14 goals one season from midfield.

Bolasie coming in at a close 2nd with Gylfi 3rd

The one at Wolves one of my favourite goals

Other: Rod Belfitt.

Niasse was better than Bakayoko.

Still can't believe how excited I was about him signing compared to his actual performances.

Was at that game. Phil Neville scored a screamer too which was a great novelty.

Wrong.

If it's just down to bad attitude, then maybe Ashley Williams. Was ok first season (late winner against Arsenal etc) but a total tool in his second. One of the worst things about the awful 2017/18 season.

Alex Cleland, John Spencer, Claus Thomsen and Danny Williamson were pretty gash. Don't think any of them cost much though
Bolasie was a total waste of money but I don't suppose any of us are surprised by his total lack of goals and assists.

Cleland got a bad injury for us and never recovered. Harsh coz he done well at Rangers.

It's Gylfi Sigurdsson.

When you factor in his price tag, the role he was brought in to do, how far his failure to do any sort of job for us set us back... there's no other correct answer. All of the rest play in roles you don't build a side around. They didn't have anywhere near the same detrimental impact.

He's in his own stratosphere when it comes to bad signings. None of the others come close.

Can’t believe I missed Schneiderlin out ffs

If you're going off attitude Delph is up there - its his transfer fee that saves him as I've never known a player to be injured as much as him coupled with his bad attitude.
