Personally, I don't think the money A.P spent on his dancing lessons produced what any of us might have hoped for.

Sako is poor. Wasn't at first. But he is slow, boring, unimaginative and gives the ball away nearly as much as Punch. When did you last see him play to come up with those gems.?

Interesting, that all the bad ones didn't cost much. Agreed - all of the 'bad' signings were low-risk and low-cost - which is the sign of a club/manager who know what they're doing. Not that anyone will admit it.

We have done some great business in the last window but I was thinking, pardew has had some blunders in the windows,he been at the club. Such as ameboi, sangogo, Bamford and mcarthy just to name a few. In your opinion who's been the best signing made by pardew and the worst. Best: Benteke or Mandanda Worst: Alex mccarthy or Bamford Over to you? We've made some notable transfer blunders in the past but, despite the suggestion in this thread, none imo under AP. Under time pressure he's made some really good ones. And under time pressure he's made some low risk speculative freebie signings. Adebayour is for me the standout low achiever amongst these. But not a blunder.

Mark Bright cost us 75k, Ian Wright cost us a bag of chips, AJ was actually a makeweight in a deal involving Morrison so actually cost us nothing. These to me constitute great buys. But then again i'm a tight f@cker so what do I know!

We had been looking at him for a while. I don't think it is the worst signing ever but, even with the transfer inflation, we would be lucky to get our money back. I suspect he will go for one of our 'undisclosed' fees [free].

Best: Worst Whilst Benteke is the best in terms of ability, I think getting Cabaye was a bigger coup for the club at the time. Also think that Mandanda will be one of the top keepers in the divison.

Did we make a lose when we sold McCarthy? I'm not sure but thought he moved on for the same as we paid. Adebayor was always a gamble. Mutch I don't think was expensive and he's still a basic squad player although I doubt he'll be with us next season. Sako was free, although on substantial wages. But all in all I don't think the bad have been terrible for the club, although no one wants to sign bad players, signing bad players and losing fortunes on them would be far far worse.
