that you have seen, not necessarily the worst players

1) Turienzo..just madness
2) Micky Thomas - 350K? at least we got something back when he left and he wasn't drwaing wages for too long either
3) Would it be harsh to suggest Glenn Murray at the moment? Started brilliantly, then wanted out, then got long running injuries. Done nothing, because of injuries for a year and hasn't found his true form again yet this season. If he comes back to form and /or we sell him on for close to what we got for him, he would come straight of this list, but so far he has cost 300k and been drawing wages for close on 2 years now. Not meaning to be controversial about a current player but he has to be one of our worst value players...so far..imo

I think for lack of value-for-money Turienzo is very hard to beat.

No doubt about it, Mickey Thomas. Followed by Jason Peake. Peter Sayer wasn't such a great idea either.

Sigh...why does this come up over and over again. He didn't cost £100,000 - he cost £60,000 - it could have risen to £100,000 if he'd made a certain number of appearances but it didn't.

Farrington's trouble was that he was plagued by injuries and seemed never to be fully fit but he scored four times in just over 30 appearances - not great but too much of a shocker for someone who was not fully fit and playing in the second tier of English football. It was a gamble that didn't come off but at £60k it wasn't an expensive gamble. Fashanu, for example, cost a lot more and had worst strike rate.

He was bargain of the month compared to the likes of Peake, Turienzo and my particular pet waste-of-money Micky Bloody Thomas.
