It baffled me how Scotland were so poor up front but never had him in the team, or the squad for that matter despite his remarkable scoring record at that point. Abdi though.... I had seen Watford a few times and he was class a proper footballer he oozed class I can honestly say in the past 20 years I’ve never been as excited by a signing I still can’t get my head around his spell here For me I’ve never been as disappointed in a player.Pound for pound our worst signing I cant believe I’ve just wrote that! But it’s true Agree Really weird the Abdi situation, he didn’t have a massive injury, he was just permanently unfit throughout his time here, and for the last 2 years he was hardly mentioned by managers and the local press. Worth noting that he hasn’t played football since he left, looking at his Instagram he just seems to be on a permanent holiday with his wife 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to sign the "Rough Diamond" the "Golden Nugget" But the nugget doesn't want to leave n get homesick... so as part of the deal his mate gets dragged along for the "ride" to keep him company .... It was agreed that Izzy Brown fell into that "mate" category... There's bloody hundreds of these Izzy Brown Chappies in football atm .... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of nowhere signing, predictably did the square root of feck all on the pitch. Same here, Urby may have come without a huge transfer fee, but he was one of the top earners and if I recall correctly only played in our last match of the season, and that was it... at least Rhodes played and scored a few times, it's not like our other strikers have been scoring a lot either...

Shame but we move on. £ for £ Jeffers was worse, it took everything we had and he never delivered or looked bothered.

elyowl1 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Relatively speaking ODonell and Donnelly were just as bad, no transfer fee but im sure large signing on fees. £20 - £25k a week over 20 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldierowl Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Win Jonk for me. When we paid about £2.5 Million for him I thought we were buying one of the world's best midfielders, but he was forever injured and on huge wages for the time. Never lived up to his reputation, just another on a big final pay deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Abdi and Van Aken have been bigger wastes of money than Rhodes. At least Rhodes was available for selection most of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Think for every 10 big money signings we have made in the last 30 years in terms of transfer fee or wages about 90% have been poor value. Cant be another clubs that gets it so wrong so often and this goes back before Chansiri time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we blew £3m on Abdi we had a decent side and he was supposed to be the icing on the cake so even if he was a total non event it didn't really affect us. Rhodes was bought when we had 4,000,000 strikers....but his goals was supposed to fire us to the PL Doesn't matter how you look at it he was probably the biggest flop in our history.

Was just brought as a vanity signing when we didn't need him or could afford him to stay within the financial rules. Rhodes probably still is the best striker outside the Premier League as well over the last 20 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is saying he was the worst player, but pound for pound he is undoubtedly the worst signing I have seen and I’ve been watching Wednesday since 1979 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
