Worst signings of the season so far

[spursfan77]

Just watching the Man U game now and it reminded me to start this thread. I meant to do it the last time I watched them actually but this applies to all the premier league teams.

Who do you think the worst signings in the summer were?

I'll start:

Depay and schweinstiger
Pedro and falcao

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

For us, probably Wimmer.

Utterly pointless thus far

 

[Shadydan]

Hard to define who the worst signings were as they've been playing for their clubs for 4 months.

 

[Mouse!]

Benteke. Good player, but £32m for a player that didn't fit the manager's style was silly and desperate.

 

[nailsy]

Falcao, although he's only on loan I suppose.

And who was that defender that Chelsea signed that Mourinho didn't want?

 

[TheChosenOne]

Joey Barton.

Every year since I used to take the Duke of Wellington's boots off when he was drunk.

Good player. I really like him. They should play him more imo.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Nah he's shit

 

[Col_M]

Look at the table and see who has spent ridiculous amount of money and are languishing in the bottom half?

Falcao. And he didn't even cost a transfer fee.

 

[Dave-F]

Florian Thauvin
Adama Traore
Baba Rahman
Nicolas Otamendi
Alexander Mitrovic

Of those, Otamendi is probably the biggest waste of money, although Mitrovic typifies everything that's wrong with Newcastle at the moment.

Nicolas Otamendi

Otamendi's had a few good games with City to be fair.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Pedro IMO.

 

[nightgoat]

Falcao, although he's only on loan I suppose.

And who was that defender that Chelsea signed that Mourinho didn't want?

Papy Djilobodji. He's played one minute against Walsall.

 

[spursfan77]

Good player. I really like him. They should play him more imo.

I've been disappointed with him so far. I really thought he'd take the league by storm. Got played out of position at the start though which I think held him back and dented his confidence.

 

[Gassin's finest]

For us, probably Wimmer.

It'll become clear if we're unfortunate enough to have one of Jan or Toby injured.

 

[Insomnia]

Joey Barton.

Every year since I used to take the Duke of Wellington's boots off when he was drunk.

He had a pair of boots named after him but I'd be fucked if I can remember what they are called. Trevor's?

 

[robbiedee]

I know he's young and it's very early days but from I've seen thus far...I'm not convinced by Anthony Martial at the price Utd paid...

Time (and perhaps a new manager) will tell.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Too early to tell...

Papy Djilobodji. He's played one minute against Walsall.

Considering he only cost around £6 million, I wouldn't call Schweinsteiger one of the worst signings of the season.
Was always a risky move considering his injuries, but it's not like they've pissed away £35 million on him.
Martial had a productive initial spell, but all gone quiet since then. Time and age on his side though.

Pedro on the other hand just doesn't seem to fit in the Chelsea formation.
Falcao is the dumbest signing of the season though as everyone else seemed to realise he was crud from his time at United.
Jose went into God complex mode again, believing he could change the player's fortunes, and so far has that one very wrong.
