Polish Pete doesn't qualify imo - one appearance as sub, where i'm not certain he even did anything particularly remarkable.
4 minutes of football in return for an £800k transfer fee and a 4 and a half year contract that we tore up less than half way through. He should be first name on the teamsheet, and Simon Church shouldn't be anywhere near it.
‘Worse’ striker than Church please.
Yes - Polish Pete was a disaster of a purchase, but not sure you can rate someone you’ve basically never seen play.
Polish Pete got himself a very decent haul in Holland and the Belgian top-flight. Would you back Simon Church to do that? Cos I wouldn’t.
Surely Koc and Fanni must be included. Just about sums it all up.
The fact that we have had Johnson Suk-young Fanni and Koc in the last few years is about the one upside of this regime. 10/10 in a game of innuendo bingo.

And Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink got a very decent haul for Chelsea and Leeds, but we paid him £30k a week to contribute very little except waddling round the pitch like a fat J-Lo.
Powell, Riga, Peeters, Luzon and Fraeye - none of them were willing to play Polish Pete, all of them fielded Church at some point. Not saying Church was brilliant, but at least he was on the pitch rather than just draining vast amounts of cash in return for nothing.

Sorry man, you’ve disproved your argument by using a player who actually played, and was demonstrably bad, as an example.
I saw Koc and Polish Pete play against Brighton u21s. They were signed to play for the first team and in that one game it was clear why they didn't (PPs few minutes aside). It's not that they looked bad, they just didn't stand out as anything special compared to the rest of the u21s.

How can a player who turned out for us over 50 times have had a more negative effect on our fortunes than someone who played for 4 minutes and had to be paid off to leave.
Piotr was so bad that Church kept him out of the team.

What can I say - I didn’t make the rules.
“What's the worst team you can pick from the players that have played under the Duchatalet regime?”
I have no doubt he was most probably a shit as the other Driesen discoveries.
No idea why I care anyway - the whole thing has been such an unmitigated disaster that I’d like to erase the entire godforsaken period from my memory.

1. Nope.
2. Impossible to say, plus not a striker.
3.Nope

One of the worst strikers we've had since I've been alive. No strength, positional awareness, couldn't jump or shoot.
Sheffield Wednesday away (3-0) lives long in the memory.
Reza did score one memorable curler in the top corner, and scored 20 goals in the Dutch top flight last season (for what that’s worth).
