Your top 20 worst/stupidest Everton signings

[Papa Shango]

Ashley Barnes to complete the quartet in Jan?

*hides*

We were linked with Ashley Ward enough back in the day to include him.

 

[T LEAFE]

Delle Ali

 

[Gilbert..]

Recent. Iwobi.

Past. Gotta give a shout to per koldrup. Paid a fair wedge for him for that time. Can still remember his only game at villa park. 6ft4 centre half who couldnt head a ball and im sure if you look up the definition of rabbit in the headlights it will just say per koldrup. Moyes got many signings right. This was his disaster.

 

[James Roberts]

10 games 1 goal, could be worse!

He was well past his best of course. Cracking player in his prime obviously.

Thank god we don't sign ancient full backs well past their prime these days eh?

yeah... i will go for Pat Jennings then

1. Alex Iwobi

Can't do it. £22 Million. Fulham have dug us out of a few over the years but this one is way above and beyond the call of duty. VC's all round.

Mugs.

 

[Bazlar]

Shandy Andy ... didn't do us much good but took a lot of cash.

Nah, paid his wages back with that cross for Gosling to score against the RS. Worth every penny

 

[Dancing Pat]

I do remember that. An FA cup game against Norwich or some such. Then he promptly got injured again and evaporated into thin air

Early Sunday kick off against Swansea iifc

Missed that because of the premature ejaculion of an ad break.

[The Binman]

Nah

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.

it has to be Benitez, he seemingly tried to destroy us from the inside, absolutely poisonous. Walker was more interested in his sun tan

 

[Joey66]

Rod Belfitt from Ipswich sending a promising young David Johnson to them plus cash - he was a total waste of space for us think he only lasted 11-14 games did Rod ..... doh

 

[Frank Butcher]

About 95% of the signings made during the Moshiri era have a good claim to be in this.

Steve Simonson

The thing with him is I'm not sure it qualifies as stupid/worst.

Pretty sure at the time (98/99?) he was a very highly rated young keeper across the water at Tranmere and he had England under 21 caps. So for a couple of million it seemed logical to see if he could step up otherwise it was just Paul Gerrard in goal for a couple of years.

He couldn't and that kid at Burnley reminds me a bit of him given he's had a similar trajectory.

Simonsen dropped back down to Stoke and was pretty solid for them for many years and played the odd prem game when they came up in 2008.

Anyway summer 2017 wins hands down surely. What a terrible way to squander the Lukaku money. Signed endless number 10s, the main CF was Sandro who just couldn't settle or adapt so in the end had to ask Rooney to play as CF again even though he'd just spent the last 18 months at Man. United and England playing in central midfield. He did his best and scored some goals but it was a really bad half a season.

Big Sam did o.k results wise but then spent 60m on Tosun and Walcott to further compound things later on down the line. Did Ashley Williams come in that summer or where they a year earlier?
