Our best/worst overseas signing(s)?

Cant believe nobody has mentioned Georgi Kinkladze, the man was a genius, if a little erratic. However when he was on his game he makes david silva look positively pedestrian.

Just to remind you how good he was:

1 ) Silva
2) Bernabia
3) Kinkladze
4) Goater
5) Trautman

quote on Kinkladze:
he 95/96 season was a bleak time to watch the Blues, yet Kinkladze shone like a beacon through the dross that was being served up at the time. Some of his solo effort goals need to be watched several times to be assured that no computer trickery has been adopted. One particular effort against Southampton is still a revelation, even after all these years. Just watch the end product when you are convinced that a shot is forthcoming. No way. A sublime chip over goalkeeper Dave Beasant puts the icing on the cake.

He actually was in the team that got us relegated twice.
He was a very good player mind in a awful team.
But not on the same pedestal as Silva by a country mile.
 
Obvious choices of little Dave, Yaya, Vincent or Sergio, but its Ali B for me, free, and provided some great entertainment in his time with us, an amazing under the radar signing by Keegan. Uwe and the Goat get a mentions for providing great value for money also.

Worst Vuoso has to be up there in the shit value for money stakes with Jo and Samaras. For overall shiteness its Corradi who gets the nod for me, although there are a lot of others who could easily be argued as just as shite, like Frontzeck, Sommeil, Allsopp et al
 
Goater & Trautmann, + Ben Haim, were not signed from overseas clubs (Bert = St helens Town). Not Tevez either. From FOREIGN clubs please.

Thank you and goodnight.

Plus, I had Kinky in my original list. And TWO "n"s in Trautmann please.
 
worst by a mile was Vuoso - we paid £6m in 2002 (when we were skint) and he didn't play one single minute for us!!!!!!

Calm down. It was meant as a joke. There's another poster on here who swears blind that Kinky is/was a better player than Silva. There are precious few on here who share the same opinion, so I jokingly suggested that you were in fact the other poster under a new alias. Apologies if the joke offended you; it wasn't meant to.
 
Had high hopes for Kare Ingebritsen but apart from a sublime hat-trick against Leicester not much else.......and the selection of Georgians that followed genius Gio was desperate
Marc Vivien Foe RIP was a great loan signing, Lucien Mutomo and Sun Jihai had their moments, not least in the 2002 Maine Road derby

So I'm supposed to change my opinion because of some random blogs on the internet
Do me a favour, there may be twenty ransoms saying he's brilliant to my lone voice, just means there's twenty more delusional fuckwits who blinded
He was good, with the odd flash of brilliance, until his car crash then he was mainly average with the odd flash of brilliance

And you got me, I'm a rag and I'll be at the derby watching them thrash city
