He was the sign of a downward spiral for me.

To be fair we had been in one already for a while.
I thought he did well when we first signed him along with Kevin Campbell. Campbell is always remembered for keeping us up that season and rightfully so, but Gemmill played a big part in it too.
The season after he was good. Linked up play well by giving the ball simple and was a key component of us demolishing teams by 4 and 5s at the start of the season. Then he got injured and never did anything for us again which is a shame.
Dont get me wrong I dont think he was brilliant or anything but he did a good job for us at the time. I always see people slating the likes of Phelan, Tiler and O'Kane as being bad for us too but I cant agree with them at all. They all did a decent job in a limited amount of time for us.

I once watched Everton reserves v West Brom reserves at the Harriers stadium a few years ago. Even then, he looked mighty woeful and was given the run around by Darren Carter

VDM was woeful, no argument, but surely someone who played about 4 minutes of football before being sold has to go down as an even bigger flop?

Nothing will ever live up to the expectations and disappointment I had courtesy of Andy Van Der Meyde. Ever.

That reminds me of Li Tie. I saw him play a bit and was made up, I thought he was ace. And then he vanished into thin air.

On the subject of Ginola....WTF was Smith thinking with that one?! Didn't Smith leave about 2 weeks after signing Ginola. I remember a mate of mine ringing me to tell me that we'd signed Ginola, I thought it was a wind up until I saw it for myself.

Never will forgive that prick. I cried buckets when he left. I was like 8 or something. What a bell.

If you mean someone whose purchase stirred the fans imagination and then hardly made any impact then I'd go with Van der Meyde.
Kroldrup also. (Oh I've pointed out many times on this forum that the Kroldrup affair was testimony to the genius of Moyes and not to his detriment)
Re: Scott Gemmil. Limited player of a bygone everton age. He wouldn't get in the squad much less the team today.
Alex Nyarko had the hopes of a generation for awhile. That went poorly.
The worst players are the ones that continue to get games put flop every time. Pistone was a massive flop albeit allowing for one season when he was solid.
Linderoth - the invisible man. Regularly flopped on the goodison park. As did his countryman Alexandersson.

I think we paid a decent fee for Whiteside, he was only 24 at the time but his career was already over due to his knees. Cottee we paid 2.2m for in the late '80's, making him the most expensive player in british history, he never did it for me. Just my opinion like
