Footballs top 50 worst signings ever

Inspired by this - http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/...wsstory.sport16 I propose (and Vern agrees ) that we try & do the top 50 worst signings ever in football.

Suggestions


Andriy Shevchenko Milan > Chelsea
Helder Postiga Porto > Spurs
Darren Bent Charlton > Spurs £17 million
Fabrice Muamba Birmingham > Bolton £5million
Michael Ricketts Bolton > Middlesboro £4.5million


add yours & I'll update

Brazilian "defender" rafael scheidt that signed for celtic a few years back under barnes/dalglish.

Awful, just awful. There was suggestions at the time that the only reason he got a cap was because his agent was putting pressure on the brazil coach at the time to play him so he looked a better prospect for unsuspecting european teams, after a few games it looked like this was true. sheidt by name, shite by nature.

Juan Veron by United - wasnt that bad but terrible considering the price tag he had to justify

Kleberson by United - rumours had it that we bought the wrong kleberson. Wouldnt be surprised if that turned out to be true.

Djemba Djemba by United

Jose Reyes by Arsenal

Julio Baptista by Real Madrid

The entire newcastle squad by Mike Ashley

vern & myself were agreeing on the first 2. somehow forgot the 3rd

Add to it

Matieu Berson - £4 million by Aston Villa. Voted their player of the season for I think 2005 or 2006.. he was out on loan in spain at the time!

Sergei Rebrov - Kyiv to Spurs £12million

Nugent, perhaps. Pavlyuchenko, not at all, he's scored over 10 goals so far & russians always find it hard to settle in. However as he's a spurs player, he'll remain in consideration


To add a few suggestions

Kevin-Prince Boateng (to spurs)
Alan Hutton (to spurs)
Chris Sutton - Blackburn to Chelsea
Kluivert - to Milan
Henry - to Juventus


etc

Beckham to galaxy - failed to meet expectations both in terms of performance on the pitch as well as having not having much of an impact on the popularization of football in the wes-sayeed

Lucas to Liverpool
Future space reserved for - Lucas to wherever he transfers


If this thread isnt referring to the signing of only players , id throw in Mclaren as coach of england and Sounness as coach of Newcastle.

I'd disagree on the beckham/galaxy one. He's done ok but is proof that in football one man doesn't make a team. People are signing from meidocre british clubs for MLS clubs & that's testament to the lack of quality in the league.

Lucas may yet fill that role, but until he's no longer just potential & becomes unfulfilled, then judgement should be reserved.

You have a point regarding the Beckham case and I was just messing around with the Lucas one.

Another one that comes to mind:

Mateja Kezman to Chelsea

indeed. Could perhaps add

Afonso Alves - Herenveen > Middlesboro £12million

He's shown one or two glimpses of quality but mostly flattered to deceive.

Does Diego Forlan count too? I dunno how much united paid for him, and I feel bad mentioning him because he worked his ass off, probably trying way too hard, but still didn't do much.
