I didn't think Allsop was that bad really, would rather him than what we've had since.Getting Allsop and Coulibaly from Bournemouth in the Wilson deal. Two atrocious players in one swoop.
Another one in terms of value in his premier league season was McCallister. Marquis signing delivered very little
I'd agree with that, from memory he only really had one good season with us and that was when he returned to us in the Championship.
He played one game was 3rd choice keeper and free

Step forward Robert Jarni, all though in his defence we never actually seen him play
Kevin Kyle
Kevin Drinkell
Craig Bellamy
Lee Hughes
But he was truly truly shite. Burge looked like Dino fucking Zoff compared to him.
This is about the worst ever signing - would you say Soton couldn't nominate 'George Weah's cousin' cos he was on a free and only played about 10 mins?

Money back but relegated too. The transfer fee was a drop in the ocean compared to the long term effect it’s had on the clubWe got our transfer fee back for Bellamy. The worst signing has to be someone we paid a lot for; paid high wages; was crap and then lost money on departure. Kyle was worse.

A lot of just bad players instead of bad signing in here.
I'm going for Craig Belamy.
Not a bad player but was needed to replace Keane's goals, coming back from an injury and didn't do the job. Think he may still be our record signing and he was a major contribution towards our relegation with him failing to perform and being a disruptive influence in the dressing room. No way should that squad have been relegated.
Like others have said, Bellamy wass shocking. Didn’t want to join us and he showed it week in week out. Totally disinterested from start to finish. He did more than most to put us down that year.
I’d agree with this assessment but wasn’t he sold before the season we went down? But yeah, he definitely failed to live up to the expectations on us, and he clearly thought he was too big for us.
No, only played in our relation season. Replaced him with Hughes the following summer.I’d agree with this assessment but wasn’t he sold before the season we went down? But yeah, he definitely failed to live up to the expectations on us, and he clearly thought he was too big for us.
In that case Eastwood and McAllister must feature heavily. Special mention for Lee Hughes even if we did get half the fee back - we still lost £2.5m but it could've been more had he still been with us when he got convicted.
Was going to suggest him or Raphael Nuzzo on loanKeith ONeil was one of our top earners
.He was always injured, 7 appearances in 2 years,he even was out injured once after breaking his hand on a fairground punch bag.
That’s a bit unfair on Reece allesaniAll time worst was probably Gary Collier (our record fee paid) or David Bradford. From the prem McA was a disaster; great player but made us less effective as a team. His return as player-manager was worse.
Eoin Jess, Simon Howarth, Kevin Richardson and David Rennie all seemed very disappointing at times but they wd probably stand out as exceptional in the third division.
From the post-championship era; Denzel Slager was obviously not going to cut it as a professional footballer. I have the same feeling about one of the players we signed last season who is still in the squad for this season, but just in case I’m proved wrong this season or he reads this I won’t mention him by name.
Jordan Turnbull was a terrible signing as was Andy Webster and for the most part Kyle Reid. Overall tho I’d go for the signing that confirmed my growing suspicion that Mowbray had lost his senses completely and run out of ideas..........
Darius Henderson
Yakubu, anyone got that video where hes just walking around for 10 minutes?
There was always at least one goal conceding error per gameRichard Shaw, drained the club for years and was absolutely dire week after week, some how got hero status from our fan base.
It’s not him.That’s a bit unfair on Reece allesani
His best season was the year before he went to Liverpool, perhaps playing for a contract elsewhere. He was past it when he came back second time but ok on occasion.I'd agree with that, from memory he only really had one good season with us and that was when he returned to us in the Championship.
