Tbf Bony didn't seem a bad idea at the time. Iirc he'd just had a cracking season at Swansea. Was dog shit for us though.

Given what he cost in transfer money Bony has to be our worst ever signing.Tbf Bony didn't seem a bad idea at the time. Iirc he'd just had a cracking season at Swansea. Was dog shit for us though.

I think everyone goes easy on him because he signed on a free transfer. But he simply wasn't anywhere near the standard we required.
I thought Sagna was pretty sound defensively and his signing led to a good song at away games.

Kevin Bond was a decent player but the signing of Daddy’s Boy damaged the Club’s morale as much as any signing over the last 40 years.
Steve Daley, Jo and Mangala are arguably the worst value for money signings in our history. I am going easy on Gerry Creaney as he gave rise to one of my best away days, in the home end at Elland Road.
It is too early to write off Managala and he’s done pretty well in his limited number of appearances.

£4.5m was a lot of money at the time (close to our record); for the lad to not even make a match day squad was extraordinary. I was at his debut in a friendly at Bury and he genuinely looked clueless (not necessarily skill wise, just not at the races at all).
So, Vuoso all day for Keegan.
Anyone who has mentioned Navas, Bianchi, Gareth Taylor on any worst lists needs eyes/heads checking IMO.
