Your top 20 worst/stupidest Everton signings

[Papa Shango]

Putting Gylfi in these lists is embarrassing. He was nowhere even close to any top 20. We had 4 full seasons out of him.

He wouldn't be near a top 100 of worst players for us.

Its the fee more than anything, everybody at the time knew that was a mad fee to pay.

Lucas Neill
Danny Williamson

Neill did alright for us to be fair, was out the door pretty quickly too though.

A bit harsh on WIlliamson, played a handful of games (Including a great showing in the derby) before he leg fell off, works his way back to fitness after years out and then does the exact same injury with the other leg and never kicked a ball again. Was a proper weird period that under Kendall MK3.

Anybody mentioned Bilyaletdinov?

 

[Davideeyore]

Last one from Villa. Forgot his name. But clearly the most obvious signing for greasing some palms

El Ghazi?

A handful of boss goals probably take him out of the mix.

There are probably 20 players who did next to nothing for us, Klaassen, Sandro, Gbamin, Kroldrup, Spencer etc, at least Bily gave us a few decent moments.

Maupay is right up there. What makes it worse is that he’s only on loan which means he’s likely to turn up again.

I'm curious to see @Nymzee and @MikeH72's lists...

Here's mine, in no particular order and for reasons including value for money, being an arse, or being plain turd.

1 Gylfi
2 Alcaraz
3 McGeady
4 Eto'o
5 Niasse
6 Koldrup
7 Keane
8 Maupay
9 Davies, Simon
10 Kean
11 Tosun
12 Coco Martinez
13 That lad with the massive thighs Moyes rarely played
14 Schneiderlin
15 John Spencer
16 Steve Simonsen
17 Rooney (the re-signing)
18 Baardsen
19 Benitez (I don't care he's not a player)
20 Rondon

Mark Hughes
Gazza
David Ginola
Norman Whiteside
Per Koldrup
Gbamin
Maupay
Alcaraz
Klassen
Coco martina

Wow some good players on these lists. Bizarre.

Whiteside was a good player and Gasgoine amazing. Both past their best beset by injury but can say I had the privelidge to see them play for Everton.

Eto' too.

Manager wise, there's only one that really stands out and that's Mike Walker. Above any.

Hopefully we can sell him back to Brentford for a tenner

I've just tried about 3 times and gave up

 

[StreetEndBlue]

I think Davies was 3M. Kind of a dollar store version of Baines. I don't think we ever won when he started. He had a cross in him and was decent at corners but that was Arteta's job. Prob just a bad fit because did alright at Fulham even tho I didn't notice him doing anything different.

Well I read £4.5m but whether it was £4.5m, £3m, 3p or 45p, all variants were far too much to squander on Davies. The lad was simply garbage.

I knew we had a poor record when he played games but didn't realise just how bad it was. Having looked it up we won just 10 of the 45 league games he played in and he contributed just one goal in that time and was so ineffective Moyes subbed him on 12 of his 36 starts.

Terrible acquisition.

Yeah, think he just springs to mind because (if memory serves) think he was probably Moyes biggest (price) signing that didn't work out.

More about Eto'o being a bit of a tool off the pitch. Didn't last long, stupid signing by Martinez et al imho.

Benitez was a ridiculous appointment. Any idiot could see that. But the hierarchy did it anyway.

First season he bagged a decent number of goals for us that got us points. Bit underwhelming overall though.

Joe Harper and Mickey Walsh take some beating. Expensive striker signings who sunk.
