Who do you think was the WORST signing we ever made?

Recommended Posts

Ade Akinbyi, without a doubt, the fact he's our record signing is a £u(k!n embarrassment. What the hell was Peter Taylor thinking? His goal scoring record the previous season for Wolves in a lower league wasn't exactly amazing. He couldn't even get in Nigeria's Squad for £u(k sake! let alone the first 11, would have been worth a gamble on a free transfer but £5.5million! We could have got someone a lot better and a lot cheaper surely? What was he thinking?

Fenton or Gilchrist.

I'd agree with Fenton, but Gilchrist was pretty good (especially when playing with Elliott)

Gunnlaugsson was a bit of a waste of space.

Junior Lewis....1 mill of pure shite

We paid a mill for Junior Lewis? Thought he was £50k or something?

Think Lewis was the worst player I've seen but Akinbiyi was the worst signing (ie. value for money).

Plenty of other shite around that era, mind.

50k was only the intial fee...it rose to about 1 mill with appearances and add on's/agent fees.

Another brilliant bit of financial management from Peter Taylor

WTF? Gilchrist was fantastic 90% of the time,, never forget his MOM performance when he scored in our 2-0 win at Anfield.

In terms of ability Lewis is probably the worst but he was 50k. Hammond at 350k as well was dreadful.

In terms of money though Akinbiyi and Jones were shocking value.

Plenty of bad players have turned out for us, but like most people no one has been as destructive as Wise & his stupid monster monster agent twat

Wise is the obvious choice.

Although nowadays we can console ourselves with the thought it wasn't personal - he went on to wreck Leeds and Newcastle too.

Dishonourable mentions should also go to the following persons from the past decade.

Jacob Laursen

Nathan Blake

Scott Gemmill

Joe Hamill

Jamie Clapham

Wayne Brown
