Spurs' worst signings according to goal.com

[eViL]

I thought Postiga was pretty good, just couldn't buy a Goal.

 

[VegasII]

Harsh on Reid, Atouba, Ghaly and Saha to be honest. They were at least cult signings.

What about Andy Gray and Jason Cundy? They were guff.

But that Hoddle era really did stink of bad signings.

Not sure where we all stand with Mousa Saib?

 

[chinaman]

Our first Mousa really wasn't that bad.

 

[trevo]

Bentley fucked himself buy wearing those new fangled snub nosed puma kings at the time that were super curved at the toe.

You couldn't get under the ball properly with them like the original kings. They are awful, still got 'em only worn a few times. fucked his game/confidence.

Note you don't see many football boots like that now with such a high rounded toe end.

And he wasn't smart enough to work this out himself? Probably not as I'm not sure he could do the laces up on his own.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Pretty on-point list to be fair.

I'd add Didier Zokora and Alan Hutton. And possibly the re-signing of Robbie Keane...

 

[Tuddly]

If Zamora was part of the deal that brought Defoe to Spurs, how could that be a bad signing?

 

[parklane1]

Just saw the first one - John Scales - does him being badly hit by injury make it a bad transfer or just unfortunate? Seems a bit harsh. Anyway, does anyone round here remember David Jenkins? Not one of Billy Nick's best signings, to say the least.

I do we swapped him for Jimmy Robertson who was a much better player.

 

[dondo]

I thought he was alright, for a older freebie.

He was a victim of Redknapp's eye-off-the-job phase between Capello resigning and Woy getting the job


Also, he showed his quality in Ledley's testimonial. Quality player hampered by injury

Rednapp said he didn't want Saha or nelson, it was a transfer comity job according to him.

Rednapp said he didn't want Saha or nelson, it was a transfer comity job according to him.

I don't get how that's relevant? He was still playing in the games that Redknapp seemed to lose interest in.

Also, don't trust a single uttering from Redknapp, he did well for us but is undoubtedly full of mistruths

Bent Arry speaks with forked tongue.

So it's rednapps fault Saha played shit for us?

Harsh calling him bent but I agree he uses the media to deflect blame away from himself

 

[mano-obe]

Rasiak hardly played and the same with Booth, I think people include them as a trend more than anything, Rasiak played excellent against Liverpool in his debut, had a goal dissallowed and one off the line, but was remembered for an awful cup game where the whole team was shite. We had consistent underperfomers for years. Expensive flops like Ruel Fox always escape critisicm and a lot of the Wimbledon team we poached

Yep. Atouba wasn't bad, he just scared everyone half to death. In games against Everton and Soutampton he stole the show with some of his whacky skills, the crowd were loving it. Ghaly had a few assists, he was just as mad as his mate Mido. Saha they were raving over when he tore apart Newcastle with Adebayor

 

[parklane1]

Harsh calling him bent but I agree he uses the media to deflect blame away from himself

It's what he is called by a lot of fans at several clubs

Slightly off topic, but anyone tearing their eyes out over our transfer flops should look at this review of Rogers' transfers at Liverpool. If you see a lot of people jumping off tall buildings - it'll be Liverpool supporters after reading this !

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Never once saw him play, but apparently he made four appearances?

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

I thought Postiga Soldado was pretty good, just couldn't buy a Goal.

Fixed....................

Doesn't stop it being harsh as it's hearsay and unproven

So it's rednapps fault Saha played shit for us?

He scored 4 goals for us in 12 games, during a period in which we won only 5 of the 15 league games he was available for.

I don't think he was "shit" at all, but you seem to be insinuating it, so I was reminding you of the circumstances at the time.

Redknapp was the manager, so ultimately he was responsible for everything that went on on the field, so if you judge that Saha was "shit" then I'd invite you to connect the dots.

Comparing what we paid for Ferdinand, and his strike rate, I'd say that Saha (at 33 years old) was a bargain and I'm happy we got to include such a talented player in our lineup, even if you disagree.
