Worst recent signing?

Who is it?

Apologies, i got Bacuna's transfer fee wrong. Hope that doesn't influence the poll that much

It's beleived to be 4m not 6m. NYD what u bloody expect from me

I dont think glatzel at half the price of Murphy should even be on this list, scored more than murphy in a fraction of the time here.and I was under the impression from Annis that glatzel was supposed to be one of our biggest earners, and was a reason for him being released?? At 12k a week that doesn't ring true tho! For me its Murphy!!

I got 12k from a quick browse. Maybe it was more? Based on what he did at Cardiff, whether through miss-management or not, makes the list good record in Germany though

I dont agree, but its your list! Cant bkame a player for mis management though! Yo uh wouldnt pick out a defender, if he was asked to play a totally different posistion would you? Warnock supposedly scouted him, watched him, but never realised a few months earlier, he was not a lone striker/target man, and paid 5m over his price from a few months earlier too? All opinion of course, but I stand by mine.

Happy new year to you too!! CCFC!

Price tag considered it's Murphy hands down.

If i could turn back the clock, i'd add Gary Madine, how cld i forget
6m/3.5y/12k contract cancelled by mutual consent. Moneywise it's still Murphy

Giving 4.5y contact to Bacuna was utter lunacy. Some of the best agents in the game worked in this deal, pulled Dalman's pants right down and gave his bare bottom a good slap such were the liberties taken on that fateful day. More liberties taken than covid

Who is it?

Certainly not Glatzel - he would have come good in this system but Mccarthy dismissed without giving him any chance at all. He did OK under Harris and is was undoubtedly a better option than Collins.

I can't argue a case his career hasn't had an upward spike in form since leaving
There's prob something in the mitigating factors. Bad management, tactics. We know it, we watch the team play. Cmon lads smash those baggie bar stewards

Most likely the next one knowing this committee.

I still can't get over the fact he was bought to keep us in the prem. Even the Reading fans I know were baffled.

See my post about all the amazing signings made in the last two decades? Hardly a new thing.

None compare to Cornelius, fact.

People talk about the transfer committee but us shitting away money isn’t a new thing. In fact after the way Malky and Ole blew a lot of money no wonder a committee was formed. Certainly lately signings have been better than further back albeit less of them and more trust in the youth. As Sven says, an explanation as to why would be nice.

Anyway here are some of the ‘diamonds’ we have signed. There’s actually a gap where we signed some class for cheap. Dave Jones’ era. This was always when we barely had a pot to piss in.

Of course there were good signings made too around the below dross but I’m just showing that no one covers themselves in glory.

Well hecis averaging a goal every other game for hamburger v this yr, not bad at all.so could say he jas had an upward turn, or he is getting far better service where he is? Either way, hsrdly a shoddy scoring ratio.
