Kalvin Phillips

Arguably the worst pound-for-pound signing in our history. I thought Leeds getting promoted was the perfect ticket to get rid but even they didn't bite - as no doubt we/him and his agents put it to them.
Georgie Samaras for me.
 
Vuoso, like the others we didn't have two pennies to rub together I only knew he was actually real and not a tax dodge when he played at Boundary Park in what was then called the Manchester Senior Cup.

Agreed. £3.5m was a decent amount back then and for him to not even get any first team action shows how bad a signing it was.
 
Georgie Samaras for me.
gorgeous Georgie was our expectations as fans rather than a bad deal, we went mental that this exotic greek man who looked like freddie mercury was going to be the second coming and rescue us from the doldrums , at least he brought a little bit of hope (before he started )im sure there was talk of Dean Ashton coming at the time and we plumped for the greek god, there were videos of him scoring 50 goals in one game :) , wish we had pushed the boat out for Ashton :(
 
Wilfred Bony , now he was wank, we bought him on the back of him being top notch at Swansea , i remember in his first match a ball went over the top Wilfred set off after it and my first thought was "fucking hell he is slow in real life"

Given how Pellegrini’s system was all about quick movement and not really the use of a target man, the Bony signing baffled me. Despite how excited I was about him, because he was mustard…if you played to his strengths!

Did he cop for Malaria or something like Kolo did?

He was still a square peg in a round hole however you looked at it though even if back to his 'best'.
 
Can we try him at Right back? Till Jan ;)
We are just so shit at RB. KP remontadaaaaaaa lol

Was that rumour about his brother playing in a friendly or reserve game and pretending to be him true?
