Was going to say exactly the smae. Blue Co are our worst signings. set the club back decades.

 
  1. Nicolas Jackson - almost £40 for a donkey of a player, that we are lumped with on along term contract. Sex pest. petulant. utterly rubbish at football. atrocious human being and an even worse footballer.
  2. Lukaku - purchased for close to £100m, and didnt want to play for us
  3. Kepa - purchased for £71m, loaned out, sold for a token fee
  4. Bakyoko - winner of worst performance ever (think it was that first half against watford?) - signed for £40m, let go on a free. Terrible player.
  5. Mudryk - Big bucks, almost always useless, social media scandals. drugs.
 
Lukaku for me was very disappointing, I don't think he ever wanted to stay here.

Torres I think had a mental breakdown, though he secured us a champions league final in the Nou Camp.

Shevchencko, the most shocking thing was seeing him play for Ukraine after he look finished with us.

Batshuyai most frustrating.

Fleck.

Pier Luigi Casirgahi - injured much too quickly.

Gael Kakuta - looked so skilful early on yet did not deliver.

Haha I saw this out of the context of the post you were replying to and wondered 'why does this guy hate left-backs so much?'

In my opinion Zhirkov and Luis were both legitimately good for us, in fact in the case of the latter there were quite a few shouts to drop Ivanovic for him and move Azpilicueta to right-back. Zhirkov had the misfortune of his competition being the best left-back on the planet (Ashley Cole) and Florent Malouda in the form of his life. If I remember right he did have a brief spell in centre midfield in Ancelotti's second season when everyone bar a recently-signed and misfiring Ramires and the only sane man Mikel were injured.

5. Zhirkov (I'm not even sure if he was signed as a LB or a left winger, but oh well)

4. Del Horno

3. Kennedy

2. Filipe Luis

1. Baba Rahman

We try...

Also, from the lot of useless signings shout-out to my countryman Mineiro! What a player! (He was really good at São Paulo, but I guess the same can be said about Baka in Monaco?)

You know i liked Kennedy but sadly he was not good enough and now we only sign players who are Kennedys.

 
Sadly I believe that in everyone's top 5 worst ever transfers that there should be one particular name in no particular order;

Lukaku.

I say sadly because Tuchel was otherwise a really good manager.

 
Garnacho HAS to be top of the list.

No-one wanted us to sign him - it was a completely pointless signing and he looks worse every time he plays. His value will be down to zilch before much longer. Dreadful signing / useless player.

Could be worse, could be Neto and paid 1.5x as much and pay him twice as much weekly for less return.

I know you're Neto's No. 1 critic and I do agree, he is pretty bad and I would be happy to see him moved on. But come on, compared to Garnacho he's nearly Messi-like.

We shouldn't have signed either, but with Neto, he had looked okay(ish) at Wolves. Literally no-one thought Garnacho looked any good at Man United. We were all dead against him being signed and have all now been proved 100% right. He is sh*tE!

This.

Neto had the luxury of having a relatively high stock at Wolves. There's was something exciting about him, albeit far too overpriced. With Garnacho, we knew he was sh*t, we knew he'd be sh*t, and surprise surprise, he turned out to be sh*t. This is why there is a far louder outcry on his sh*t performances vs Neto, who is also sh*t.

If you are walking down the street and you step in dog sh*t, any normal person is going to scrape it off.

If the sporting directors are walking down the street and step in dog sh*t, they are going to remove their boot and smell the sh*t so they truly know it's sh*t.

And sign the dog on a 15-year contract.

I still don't think they would be able to tell. How many times have they stepped in sh*t now?

 
Wha a tremendous thread to read back through… how naive 4 years ago seems.

  1. lukaku
  2. Bogarde
  3. Gittens
  4. Garnacho
  5. Veron / Sutton / drinkwater tied
 
I think we need to look closer to home:

  1. @PloKoon13 - signed before his family sent him to Coventry, the sat nav failed and he ended up in Leicester.
