Is Koumas our Worst Signing Ever?

Fri Mar 04, 2011 1:43 am

Considering what we're paying for him, coupled with the fact he's only started 5 games, I pose the question:

Is he the worst signing in cardiff's history?

In my mind he's up there with Gavin Gordon, Steve Lynex and That german dude. But we're paying Koumas a lot more than those bros.

I still think Miguel Comminges is the worst we've had in years. I know he wasn't that expensive but still. We've had some shockers though. Koumas is far from the worst unfortunately.

Comminges poor, eddie big pants, poor and feeney..
my personal oppinion I think 'Koumas' has been a bad boy... he looks haunted whatever is going on or has gone on in his personal life etc .
not the same player

Bit of context, over the season we will have paid him more than 500k.

Not sure if we paid Wigan a loan fee or not. :ayatollah:

I still think he's going to turn it around, with Ramsey gone I'd give him a go. Bags of ability, just needs his confidence back, I think he could be key to promotion.

Ahead of Nsungu Ndumbu, Eddie Johnson and that Dutch bloke a couple of years back? There are plenty worse than him, I think. Koumas has shown brief glimpses of what he can do, but these 3 showed nothing in my opinion

Would say Nsungu was far worse. Also Gordon and Darlington...

no he is not because he came on as a sub and he is the one who put the cross for olly to get a goal back from a loss and plus taiwo is the worst :ayatollah:

Re: Is Koumas our Worst Signing Ever?

In recent times I would say Feeney BUT from years ago the list is endless

Re: Is Koumas our Worst Signing Ever?

Fri Mar 04, 2011 10:57 am

We have had 100's of worse signings over the years too many to mention........
Everybody is disappointed that Koumas is not the player he once was and a gamble that as of yet has not payed off......
But we live in hope

Re: Is Koumas our Worst Signing Ever?

Don't ask me why, but I've got this gut feeling that sometime during the run in Koumas will deliver for us. :shock: :ayatollah:

Re: Is Koumas our Worst Signing Ever?

Without doubt the worst signing is Andy Jordan, son of cheating b*stard.

I realise that I am going back a bit but the signing of Frank Sharp in the late sixties takes some beating. That man was completely useless at football and was actually a bit of a joke. We eventually managed to get rid of him as a make weight when Les Lea was sold to Barnsley. Les Lea incidently was an excellent player who, at the time, I personally was sorry to see go.

Not the worse but probably the most disappointing

Yup

Jason Byrne, Warren Feeney, Dai Thomas have all got to be in for a bigger shout than this. At least Koumas has the quality in him, these shysters couldnt get in my subbuteo team

I said the same to someone at work last week. He needs a run in the team and, with our current injuries in midfield and Rambo returning to Arse, he may well get his chance sooner rather than later. To mention him in the same breath as some on here beggars belief

Is Koumas our worst ever player ? Well the first time he came here he was one of the best. The second time well put it this way he has been the biggest waste of money that is for sure and a waste of a loan signing. But has he cost us games ? well no because he hasn't played many.
Now Lee Naylor he is our worst ever player in my opinion. If you add up all the games he has lost us or points dropped we would be top now and comfortably clear of QPR. He is a liability and every other team knew this. Why would they target him if he wasn't shite. They knew he was the worst left back in the Championship

No offence intended. But you can't have watched many seasons if you think Koumas is the worst signing in Cardiff's history.

Koumas will come good for us. He's got bags of quality, he just needs a run to get his game going again.

I think a lot of the reason that people are upset is that they know how good he is, and are frustrated that he hasn't shown it so far. But he will. Just give him a chance.

I also thought he was like that for Wales, too. Always shone against Liechtenstein, San Marino, etc but when it came to games against the bigger and better countries, he did used to go missing just when you needed an inspiring performance

Taiwo played a blinder against the Wurzels in the snow, shame about his match versus the Jacks. :lol:

I'd say Warren Feeney is up there as one of the worst. I know alot of lads on here like him but he never did anything.
