" HIS BEST AND HIS WORST ? "

As its all gone quite regarding transfers etc and we are all on a downer due to our bad run.


Out of curiosity, who do you think were Dave Jones


5 Best signings ?

5 Worst signings ?

In Jones 6 years at Cardiff City.

Good question Annis.

I remember thinking, and researching. We made appox 100 singings under DJ, approx 20 were good/useful, the other 80 turned out to be fluffs!

1. Roger Johnson
2. Michael Chopra
3. Jay Bothroyd
4.Peter Whittingham
5. Super Kev

Sorry Glenn Loovens Riccy Scimeca, Dave Marshall, Burke, Koumas, O'Neil, Bellers etc etc

Woeful:

1. Eddie
2. Bywater
3. Dimi
4. Nick McCoy(who I hear you say )
5. Andrea Feretti
6. Jason Brown(if he's backup to Bywater thank god we never got to see him)
7. Toni Koskela
8. Malvin Kamara
9. Iwan Redan
10. Luigi Glombard
11. Quincy for his wages


Sooooo many more.

Interesting how the worst signings all basically cost next to nothing.

Koumas (1st time)
Roger Johnson
Peter Whitts
Chopra
Best of all Jay Bothroyd

I would be interested to know how much he spent and how much he sold

jay bothroyd by a country mile

pity he's prone to fall rather too easy otherwise a great player and a player we could do with now !

I would be interested to know how much he spent and how much he sold

He's easily in the red on transfers. Anyone that tries to claim differently is deluded.

Spent more than he sold?

I doubt it.

Whitts
Bellers
SuperKev
Chopra
Koumas (first time)

Marshall, Hudson, Burke, Jay, Johnson and Loovens could have easily been here.
The likes of Rae, Purse, McCormack and McPhail have also been good.

Above posts make me feel he make more good decisions than bad

Agree with this post, dave had his faults but I also think people have not given him
The credit that I believe he also deserves, sometimes u have to lose something to realise how good it was, this is not a Malky bashing either I still believe dave had to go when he did but we saw some fantastic players play for us during his time and some

Will also see a shift in the playing style, as quite frankly at present it is dire to watch, however as always I am 100% behind the team and manager!! We will see a much more positive city next season with a few good
Signings

But gents when it mattered he could not get them to play together for him and as we all know when it came to the final hurdle, he just could not get the players to do it for him no matter how good they might of been, but this is not a Dave Jones bashing topic. I was just interested in our best and worst players under him that he signed.

I'm one hundred ercent certain I wrote black yesterday

In my opinion the best signing he made has to be that 12 month rolling contract on megabucks which shows that Davy boy is no fool.

As regards his best and worst signings I'm going to ignore loan signings because in fairness to the guy many were made to cover injuries and they either work or they don't ala JLS and Bywater.

So for me his best 5 signings were;

Bothroyd
Chopra
Whitts
Johnson
MacNaughton

All I believe signed for less than £1m.

His worst

Redan
Byrne
Darlington
Fowler
Whitley

Except Fowler none of those really cost us any money but given his cost compared to contribution I would have to say Fowler was his worst signing. Injured when we signed him amd paid big money whilst the club paid for the treatment needed to get him back to a level of fitness only for him to walk away. a disaster for me.

If you combine everyones BEST 5 ....you come up witha pretty good looking team...

that would have walked this division... (except perhaps for the November blip and the last month of the season ! )

Goalie

McNaughton
Full Back
Louvens
Johnson

McPhail
Koumas
Whittingham
Burke

Chopra
Bothroyd

Not much dog in midfield though...

Bothroyd
Chopra
Scimeca
wittingham 
Johnson


Worse
Taiwo
Commingues 
Fowler
Glombard
Kara

BEST
Jay Bothroyd
Michael Chopra
Roger Johnson
Peter Whittingham
Stephen McPhail


WORST
Steve Maclean (Can't believe he hasn't been mentioned yet!!)
Luigi Glombard
Iwan Redan
Stephen Bywater
Dimitrios Konstantopolous

McLean was awful but we made 500k on him in next to no time so hard to go down as a bad buy IMO
