Everton’s worst ever signing

[shagpuss]

Lot of them players not much was expected of despite us being rinsed for fees as usual. So i voted Gomes as he's been a huge disappointment

I know he's only a midfielder, but one goal in about two seasons really isn't good enough. Makes the likes of John Ebbrell and Tobias Linderoth seem prolific.

Klaassen was gone pretty quickly and we got money for him. How can he be voted ahead of someone still stinking the place out with no end in sight to his terrible crapness?

That’s nearly Sigurdsson tbh, excluding pens.

Definitely not. Kepa will own that title for many years to come.

It depends on how you judge it. For just raw money, Kepa is a contender. But Chelsea have now replaced him and are rich enough to cope.

But Rodwell was £11m for Sunderland, did nothing, and milked them for £70k a week for four years, most of them in the Championship when they couldn't afford him, and cost them money all the way into League One. He actively stopped them improving as a club.

It's the same with Sigurdsson. We bet the house on him and he's been pure tripe for three and a half seasons, with no hope of a financial return and commanding such a huge fee that we couldn't replace him because we needed to spend money on other areas.

Kroldrup for me. Was excited we had a strong ball playing centre back when we needed it up he simply didn't live up to any expectations.

We got some money back from Kroldrup.

We're stuck with Sigurdsson forever it seems

We got quite a lot of money back on Kroldrup and his long term negative impact for us was non-existent as he was here for a month.

Sigurdsson has harmed us for years.

Don't disagree about Siggy's malign influence at all. I'm just laughing because he's soooo bad he's managed to be less use than a desperately needed centre half reinforcement who was utter utter plop. Quite the achievement.

 

[MikeH72]

Well the poll results are certainly interesting and revealing.

 

[Kantareller]

That’s nearly Sigurdsson tbh, excluding pens.

and with consolation goals it would be close to 0

The bugger seems to have stopped even scoring now. Think he's only got one in the EFL Cup so far.
His bird's fit though.

Went on to be in the Serie A Team of the Year when he went back to Fiorentina lol

Was mad though, he couldn't head the ball here. It was like playing Leon Osman at centre-back.

Osman wasn’t bad in the air, which is mad to think about.

Not too mention how horrific he is when we don't have the ball, need to be playing passes like james if you're that bad in defence

Yeah, true that. Probably being harsh calling him plop, because he just wasn't trusted to play. Whereas Siggy must work some voodoo magic in training on all his managers every day.

Mickey Walsh.

How can anyone be a professional footballer and not be able to head the ball properly? I understand that in Italy it might not be as common but it's still a pretty fundamental skill.
Strange saga all round that one.

Didn't zigic do similar at birmingham too?
