So you're saying Vicente - probably Albions most gifted ever player - is the worst ever signing?!

Is this including loan signings?
If so;
Best - Bridcutt (signed in 2010 so I think counts?)
Worst - Paynter
Honourable mention - Razak
If you were there for the Ipswich game then you know why Razak is mentioned. God like.

As I posted he promised loads and delivered little.
If we're including loan signings
Best - Bridge, Upson, Vicente, Ince all for different reasons. Ward was a pretty good signing too.
Worst - (oh dear, here we go) Rodriguez, Harley, Obika, Agustien (for temperament mainly), Barn Door Billy, Dobbie

Best has to be Bridcutt. Signed on a free, was player of the year twice, and left for upwards of £3m.
Worst is Agustien, as things stand. Cost us money to buy, and big wages, and has to date contributed absolutely sod all.

Best pound for pound signing would have to be Bridcutt; although Ince may eclipse that.
Worst is Agustien. I don't know how much he cost us in fees, but even if it was on a free he's cost us £500k in wages.

Best signing, probably Bridcutt, just, from Upson
Worst signing, pound for pound, has to be CMS or Hoskins. Yes Hoskins was desperately unlucky with injuries but cost us £250k per goal over three seasons. CMS cost £2.5-£3.5million, and at this level you'd expect more output from him in terms of goals. Compared with Ulloa I just think CMS was terrible value for money (however, I do like CMS... the price tag is what makes it a terrible signing)

I'd have to agree with this. Spot on IMO.

Best - Buckley, for scoring those two goals against Doncaster.
Worst - Hoskins. Looked so promising (that goal against Cardiff was brilliant) but injuries have caused him to barely play. And when he is finally fit again he's released which is a shame.

I agree with whatever the other mods post.

This is a bizarre selection.
Played 29 games, scored 5 goals.
When he did play he was usually the best player on the pitch, could dribble round people like they were not there and curl in free kicks like no-one I have seen at the Albion in recent times.
I know you have said he 'promised so much' but when he did play he delivered so much too. We had quality, but admittedly not so much quantity.
Best: Bridcutt
Worst: Obika
Totally agree with this

He delivered thousands of erections every time he touched the ball.
