The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Pound for pound, it's still got to be Balaban.

That was serious money at the time, and he didn't even look like a footballer.

And your Eastern European reference suddenly allows to advocates Alex Tonev as an alternate to Jordan Bowery as our worst ever signing.

[London Villan]

Eh Hamadi was pretty poor too - another one that ran about 5 yards behind any opposition player with the ball.

Ok, can I get 5/2 on him not coming? Otherwise the odds are assymetric.

Again, it's relative to outlay. Tonev was relatively cheap, and clearly for a reason. A hopeful punt if you like, much like his shots.

Worse player I ever saw was David Hunt , might have been a signing from notts county , obviously cost a packet of pork scratching.

[WassallVillain]

Agreed re Balaban. I actually saw the other players laughing during the half time subs kick about at his inabilities

[Pete]

and is not, Simon Dawkins, truly the worst ‘player’ ever to don a villa shirt.

I'll raise you a Carlos Sanchez.

I'll raise you a Tommy Craig....

*Shudder* Truly dreadful.

I believe he was signed the same day as we signed Andy Blair. He was a bit it a non entity but didn’t play much from what I recall. And when he did want it in Div 2?

That's a good shout.

But he was utter, utter shit. And even if we had given his former team a bag of balls and bibs we’d have paid too much.

I'm too young for Tommy Craig, but I will not accept that we had a worse player than Carlos Sanchez (and I include Ally Sissokho in that).

Djemba Djemba?

Hardly played. Sanchez was given the rope to hang himself, and fucking hell, he made daisy chains out of it before he did so. I've never seen a worse performance by a professional footballer than his in a 5-0 defeat at Arsenal.

We had 3 years in the championship and still the worse players come from those premier league years 2012-16

[saunders_heroes]

Bowery was our worst player ever in my opinion. That bad I actually felt sorry for him.

No doubt. But Balaban was the same as signing Bailey now and him turning out like Tonev.
