I'm going to come out and say it folks, for the money that was spent, he has to down as the worst signing not just in Everton's history but in Premier League history. Have there been worse "footballers" signed by other clubs? Undoubtedly yes, but for anywhere close to the money we spent on this bloke? None that spring to my mind, please state if you've got any examples of a player being so painfully crap being so grossly overpaid for.

6 months after signing he can't even get a squad number and no club will seemingly take him. Embarrassing isn't strong enough of a word, we'll be reminded of this for years. It will be a signing I probably tell any kids I have about when they read about him on the internet and ask if he was really THAT bad.

Afraid for us oldies it goes down with Bernie the Bolt and Rod Belfitt in the history books. No good worrying now just laugh - just a shame we didn't actually witness more comical moments!
 
Didn't Redknapp sign a player while at West Ham, who was not a footballer?
He was somebody else cousin pulling a flanker.
Wouldn't have paid that dosh though.

Back even further, Juve thought they were signing Charlie George and signed George Charlie.
I made the name up, but along those lines.
 
and didn't the famous Daniel Amokachi (who had a slow start at GP) say in an early quote along the lines of..
"I am a centre forward, but I don't score goals"
 

When you said the black man looking back in the mirror, I just assumed you meant your lover x

I think it was Souness as manager of Southampton IIRC. Think he was supposed to be George Weahs cousin and came on as a sub in a game and stuck out for pure badness.
I am sure someone else will know the full story.

Found it.

How bad must he be for Koeman, just to not give him a number? I mean we're not exactly flush striker's at the moment. Shows how much richer we are to cut our losses so quickly.

Tbh I'm surprised we haven't given five players numbers especially with the four who left when they're contracts ended. He must be confident of getting players in, or the younger players. Can step up?

In all honesty mate a lot of us made the same judgement after seeing him for about 20 minutes. So unbelievably out of his depth it was scary, but only needed a preseason according. Thankfully the preseason was for our manager to laugh his tits off and launch him in the bin

You accept that some transfers won't work out, but to be that far off the standard is absolutely incredible. In what other business would they make a multi-million pound deal with such little research behind it? It's amazing really.

Gutted he's leaving, funniest player in our history by a mile.

End of last season when everyone had given up and was just waiting for Martinez to be sacked, I loved seeing his name on the team sheet. Made me laugh out loud more or less every time he went near the ball, even the occasional pass he actually completed still looked ridiculous. The Leicester performance was a joy to behold, I remember shouting "NO" at the TV when he was being taken off. Felt so sorry for him though, as it must have been humiliating for him being laughed at by everyone. Terrifying that Roberto Martinez was once employed by Everton football club. Even scarier that he could still actually gain employment as manager of a football club in the future.
 
I remember an older gentleman commenting on Yakubu at the match saying (and I quote) "if he closed his mouth and eyes in a dark alley he'd disappear."

I didn't think that was okay either.

True story from my days in Lilongwe, Malawi:
My missus once almost ran over the foot of our nightguard at our compound's poorly lid gate 'cos she honestly couldn't see him. No harm was luckily done.
