As far as I can remember, Moreira only played twice for us, conceded one goal and saving a penalty. He may well be a terrible goalkeeper,  but I don't think we had sufficient evidence based solely on his Villa career.

Do you remember the pre match warm up video, where he didn't make a single save? :oD

I've said before that I think it's harsh to include any player that wasn't good enough, and instead include players that should have been good enough but couldn't be arsed often enough. Gestede was never a top flight player, we were the ones stupid enough to sign him to replace Benteke. I never remember thinking Gestede wasn't trying his best, plus the stuff he did helping the homeless gives him bonus points.
Although Gestede did turn more into McCormack after leaving us.

McCormack is the the perfect example of a player that should be listed. Was 30, rattled goals in for fun at that level, don't think he even managed another 50 games in the rest of his career once he was getting our wages.

So you are selecting a poor value for money XI; mine is based on ineptitude. Bowery was simply very, very bad.
