Yep. Wouldn't pick Sheridan. Got rid of Sheridan. Replaced him with someone who should have been getting paid to clean Sheridan's boots. Magilton was dogshit. Expensive dogshit.

Standidno Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 If you think Abdi i would be inclined to say you've not been a fan that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Urby is high on that list in recent times... I'm still not sure if he ever set foot at S6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what gets me the most the t##t was laughing his head off coming out the ground 30 mins after being relegated last match of the season. Didn't know that, wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magilton might not have worked for us but he wasn’t dogshit at all - he had a very good career int the top 2 divisions and at international level.

From the eyes of a child, I watched him dismantle my childhood team, letting players like Waddle, Walker, Bart-Williams, Sheridan, Bright and Hirst (with a fair few others) go and replacing them with dross like Magilton, Sedloski, Sanetti, Oakes, Trustfull, McKeever, Collins, Billington, etc. He was the beginning of the end for us, I'd argue we still haven't recovered from his tenure. Agree with all this, although I don't think we can blame Pleat for Des Walker leaving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toppOwl Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Sadly it has to be Jordan Rhodes, we wanted him for years and we finally get him when he's totally washed up, a huge gamble that we are still feeling the repurcussions from. There have been worse players but this one comes with added baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw pete Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 We have in my life time signed some utter trash. The first I remember was possibly Steven Downs. However Aman Abdi has moved to the top of my list. Since arriving at S6 he has only managed to play 2 championship games for the full 90min. I dont Know how much he will have cost us, but IF he cost £4,000,000 to buy and his supposed wage is £35,000 per week. That equates to £35,000 x 156 weeks (three years) = £5,460,000 in wages. Which is a total cost of £9,460,000 The sooner he leaves S6 the better. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Mort AMB Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Peter Feely , couldn't shoot, pass, trap a ball, head or tackle , he threw in well mind. Larry May , when he headed it no one knew where it would end up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkskaphil Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 What prevents me from choosing Rhodes as the worst signing is that fact that in the half-season after we first signed him what he did do was very valuable in the race to get into the Play-offs. Off the top my head he scored the winning/"go-ahead" goals against Birmingham and Norwich, and assisted the winning/"go-ahead" goals against Wigan, QPR, and Cardiff. The other thing is that his previous reputation meant that his presence drew opposition defenders away from our other forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a lower end Premier league player at best. I watched him plenty before i signed him and thought he was rubbish. We were a Premier League team who finished 7th the year before and had DICanio and Carbone up front. Magilton was a dreadful signing at the time.

Bolsterstone Owl Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Patrick Blondeau without a doubt. Played about 5 times, was shocking. Cost us 5 goals in one game alone. Then basically got deliberately sent off so he could hide. Utter dogger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Fleming Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Probably not the worst, but most disappointing have to be Ian Taylor and Craig Shakespeare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large amount at that time. Played 6 games. - and every one a disaster IIRC. Don't know how much we moved him on for, or if he left on a free. Thinking back even a 'free' would have been too much.
