Jason Peake was an awful waste of £125k at a time when we were on our arses as a club. Mark Farrington was another waste of money - Barry had a shocker there. Turienzo was dreadful as well.

I don't really like slagging off players but a centre forward in the under nines would be a better keeper than Graeme Smith. Genuinely shocking at that level

Surprised no-one's said Wayne Henderson. He wouldn't be my pick, btw.
I'd plump for Seb Carole Mark II or III. Fine first time, abysmal second time. And yet we signed him a THIRD time?!

Mark Bircham was utter cack.

Arismendi for the build-up vs reality.
Those Man City loanees (Razak was once) in the first Amex season were a whole heap of useless in comparison to what they could have been.

Who was that GK we had a few years back? Gonzales or something? Played about 3 games then went to another championship club, where he played against us. He was terrible!

Surely has to be cms. Our record signing who could not trap a bag of cement

Obviously he's not the worst player we've signed, there are some absolute shockers already mentioned on this thread, but I tend to agree with this assessment. We've hardly got value for money from the lad.....yet!

Worst value for money has to be Hoskins surely? Again not a bad player and massively unlucky with injuries but cost a decent wedge of cash and played only a handful of games. I see he's out injured until the new year at Oxford.

Paul Kitson is harsh, when he did play he looked very useful. He just had a shocker with injuries.

Graham Barrett on the other hand.. :lolol:
