Recent signings obvious to a blind man we shouldn't have made

[Joey66]

Have you been doing the gas mate?

His head was in the oven after lasts nights debarcle.....

We shouldn't have signed Richarlison, lads.

Did you all know that? Am I the last to find out?

 

[Lobster Johnson]

Did I honestly just see Richarlison on that list?!

 

[Connor]

Godfrey might be our best defender, why’s he on this??????

 

[Baggzio]

Find it slightly weird that people still give Sigurdsson grief.

People will forever point at the price tag but at least the guy had a consistent output for us. We could certainly use a player like him right about now..

Ah here come off it. Even his "personal business" aside he cost £50m and had a single good season for that money. Aside from everything that went on he was on massive wages, did nothing, was somehow crap at set pieces despite that being a selling point and would've had absolutely no resale value if we ever did get to sell him. Easily one of the worst signings in our history not because he was that bad on the pitch but for the money involved and how it worked out.

On that note I would say Iwobi is probably our worst ever signing all things considered, this few week patch that he's had this season where he's decided to actually put in the minimal amount of effort and is getting a fat new contact because of it cements how bad it is.

Paul Merson wrote it.

The ol’ smelling salts.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Pretty grim list when you compare it to the likes of Brighton and Brentford.

Add Gbamin. Couldn’t have been helped obviously but another 20M plus wage down the drain. Would also be tempted to add Mina.

What? Silva played a player who clearly wasn't fit, nearly destroyed his bloody career.

Can we not just do the "recent Everton signings who performed about as expected and represent reasonable value" and save ourselves loads of time?

Be one of the shortest threads on here

not every signing is going to work out but these on the list just shouldnt have happened in my opinion and many others opinion. someone somewhere thought these were good/great deals though !

You wouldn't have signed Richarlison?

Drinkostar, more like

Fair. May have misread the title somewhat. Regardless still ended up being 20m + wasted.

If we are talking about players people think we shouldn’t have touched at all then the list should be much shorter.

Don’t seem to remember much backlash for many of the listed players at the time of them signing. Can only remember people questioning Iwobi and McNeill.

I for one love watching midfielders ambling about and pointing to other players to give the ball to vs. Liverpool reserves.
