Makoun, Balaban, Collymore, Ireland, Richards, Sidwell - he belongs in that lot for sure

Richardson and Nzogbis any day nowNzogbia must be up there in terms of our worst ever signingsMakoun, Balaban, Collymore, Ireland, Richards, Sidwell - he belongs in that lot for sure

Stole a top division career off the back of itIreland was player of the year wasn't he? Maybe the McLeish year? Gutless moron of a man.
I realise I may be part of a small minority but I rated Makoun.

He played about 6-7 games and, whilst he was struggling with the pace of the league, he showed enough to suggest he could've been a good player for us the next year. When you consider his 'replacement' was Jermaine Jenas it looks even worse.
