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.

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.
