Spot on. Can only put it down to my brain still being frazzled by the heat on Tuesday!cafcdave123 said:
didnt Dowie sign them?Fortune 82nd Minute said:
Not only up there but undoubtedly in my opinion in the number one spot.Scoham said:Faye and Traore have to be up there, signed on the same day for a combined £4m I think.
After all the years when Curbs bought sensibly and sparingly, how on earth did Murray give Pardew the go-ahead to waste so much money on these two?1 -
God, I forgot about them. Have the shivers just reading that post.ForeverAddickted said:Across the last decade I'd say...
Ronnie Schwartz | Tamar Hemed | El-Hadji Ba | Zakarya Bergdich | Christophe Lepoint | Piotr Parzyszek
This is going off Wiki where it says the transfer was undisclosed.
I've ignored both Reza and Nego as both were Network transfers0 -
Pardew demanded that we signed Gray and that he would get us promoted3

Did you see the Wycombe game ?Bedsaddick said:
He was way too good for us. Shouldn't be on a list like that.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

The money received went to Pardew as payment for us sacking him.cafcfan1990 said:
Wash your mouth out. Varney forgiven for his Palace double. He actually did ok I thought and we recouped most of what we paid too.killerandflash said:Luke Varney and Nicky Ajose were further striker flops0 -
think this one's harsh, not his fault he got played as a target man under Parkinson and replaced by BWP by Jan of that seasonkodfish said:Paul Benson

Marcus Bent £2.3m and didn’t break sweat once. I’d be surprised if he even made the effort to break wind7

Pardew promised to get us out of the Championship, and was true to his word...Redhenry said:Pardew demanded that we signed Gray and that he would get us promoted8 -
Allan Simonsen. Played a handful of games and cost us a fortune. Bloody rubbish 😎8

Varney, Gray and McLeod. All around the same time. What a dreadful waste.5

On ability one of the worst but far better value for money than many mentioned in here. Tried his best and got into double figures which is more than a various former strikers did.Marriott110 said:

Christ. I didn't realise he played so many games for us! I do remember him scoring away at Pompey though. Our only away win of the season I think. He scuffed the ball at goal during a penalty box melee, it rebounded off david james and back off Fayes shin looping over the the keeper into the net. Glorious stuff!Athletico Charlton said:1.

Can't believe we paid for this useless pile of turd. My least favorite player of all time by an absolute country mile. Not only useless, not only on big money but against Wycombe in that debacle of a cup game he kicked a ball straight off the pitch and just shrugged his shoulders. He could not give a shit.1 -
Lepoint has to be the worst. There is no way that guy is a professional footballer, he chased the ball like he was on a primary school football pitch.0

The Premier league side that we went down with had some absolute dossers of professionals in. Traore stands out for me as does Boughera, ma lot of people liked him but I had his number, a dirty bastard too.
Varney I cant have on this list, worked his bollocks off every single time he aged for us and so gle handedly ripped Palace apart.
McCleod was and still is a wanker and the fact we paid what we did for him nearly made me and @northstandsteve combust utter wanker is McLeod. Youga can also eat a bag of dicks, bottle merchant. Moutakill I thought with his rabona cross in his home debut for Marcus Bent to open the scoring v Scunthorpe was going to be a future galactico, turns out that was as good as it got. Semedo should have stayed a centre half, the crab and Racon was a bottler too.
Diawara was a good defender but I will always hold resentment for in my opinion costing us the game v Wigan in the 07 season ducking under the ball.
Francis Jeffers, wanker, I think Curbs had his paws burned a bit with him and was so so reluctant to sign anyone with a bit of alleged pedigree since and moved away from his method of rightly signing people based on their character.
Since then the last decade I could write a book about the squad and it would be easier to pick out players I liked/rated/warmed to as opposed to the ocean of oily shite we signed and paid a wage to3 -

Was a very good player though….a real shame.🥺charltonnick said:Gary Rowett cost around £4 mill and only played a handful of games. Unlucky with injury so not a dud but not a good return for the money2 -

Really……that surprises me, OK he didn’t set the place on fire but I don’t remember him being what you’d call a disaster signing either.Afternoon Delight said:Joe McLaughlin from Chelsea.6 -

Faye was ment to come the previous January as well.9goalswentpastperry said:
Faye and Dowie had the same agent in 2006...Garrymanilow said:For me the worst signings are always linked to the damage they did. Traore was terrible but at last we could put Hermann there when we needed. McLeod was awful, awful value but he was shit amongst a river of shit. Bougherra was horrific value and managed to be just as bad in the Championship as he was in the Premier League so is a real contender. Faye though. Jesus Christ. £2m on him, 28 Premier League appearances. He once looked ok at centre back and other than that I don't think he ever looked like he could play football. He played more than Kish that season and made Bryan Hughes look like Andrea Pirlo. The worst part is Faye had been ok at Portsmouth but atrocious at Newcastle, lasting a season and a half and being terrible for the entire time. The fact we targeted him regardless and then let them make their money back on him was disgraceful, and he proceeded to allow teams to walk through us to help us get relegated. I don't think there's any signing that did more damage to us as a club than that one.0 -
Going back a good few years, Terry Bullivant was very expensive by our standards at the time (£80K) I think and from what I recall produced little for that sort of outlay.
EDIT: £108K was the fee according to this: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/terry-bullivant/profil/trainer/153441 -
Didn't we sign him from Chelsea to play alongside Colin Pates (former teammate) and then promptly sold Pates to Arsenal.Afternoon Delight said:Joe McLaughlin from Chelsea.
Don't think that McLaughlin was a bad buy at all.1 -
The Pardew era was a disaster with regard to the transfer market (and everything else), as he seemed determined to overpay for players.0
