Our worst signings

[Tommy Pistachio]

The Dutch defender. Did I spell his name wrong? Is this thread not about opinions. And imo he was not a great player for us. Mistake after mistake in defence. Was glad when he finally left........

Of course it's all about opinions!

Just thought it was an odd choice as he won player of the year for us etc...

Just never rated him.......

Tbf we never played him in his proper role and hardly any player looked good under moon head, then goes to Germany and now back to Ajax and has looked decent. Under a half decent manager i think he would have done ok tbh

He looked dreadfully suited to the league in my opinion. He had no pace of physicality and when you lack both of those things you need to have damn good technique to make up for it. He obviously has some ability but I don't think he'd have ever been able to demonstrate it here.

Yep. We totally messed him up. Was a cracking player at Ajax..

Mrak Pembridge and Scott Gemmil, they always tried and never faulted their effort but were really limited players.

Nikalas Alexanderson, Jesper Blomquivst.

This is a depressing rabbit hole.

Scott Gemmill played a massive part in keeping us up when he joined with Kevin Campbell. He will always get a pass from me for that. Pembridge was alright I suppose. Took a decent corner anyway.

Ha the second part just looks like you hate Swedes! Alexandersson was a massive let down though. I actually thought Blomqvist was OK for the small amount of time he was here, nothing special but he didn't stink the place out either. Moyes got rid of him sharpish after he kicked off about being subbed though.

 

[Papa Shango]

Andy Van Der Meyde surely? 4 years he was here, never went out on loan. Minutes played? 1,091

Deffo in with a shout.

Such a waste of talent.

 

[Papa Shango]

Well maybe he wasn't that bad then. Saw him play a few times and i didn't rate him. But I'm just an idiot punter who says what he sees in front of him. I didn't rate him. But each to their own.
Ps.........don't remember him ever winning a player of the season award. Must have missed that season........

Yeah he deffo did. 2011-12. He was playing really well, talked Duffy through some games when we had an injury crisis and generally stepped up to the plate that season.

He was the type of player who needed a solid run in the side though to get the best out of him. I remember after him winning playing of the season Moyes proceeded to drop him again straight away and he never quite returned to what he produced that season.

He wasn't/isn't a terrible footballer but he was basically a £10m player that we paid £24m for. He's just pretty average.

 

[brettangellnightporter]

Ill see that and raise you Stephen Hughes.

I'll have to chuck in senderos

 

[BarryThompson1]

Narko .

 

[BlueStevie35]

Narko .

Who?

 

[Agent Blue]

Ronald Koeman.

He didn't want to be here and we are still paying the price for his disastrous recruitment.

Set us back years.

 

[larbert toffee]

Rod Belfitt

 

[superkeeper]

Feel like Alcaraz is getting off lightly in this thread.

 

[originalgreaserbob]

Juan Mata. Totally invisible his whole time here.
