Who would you say is the biggest waste of money to have worn the sacred shirt since our stint in the Prem in 2003/04 - I'm talking someone who we paid a transfer fee for, on a permanent.

I still can't get past Jordon Mutch - £4'500'000. It doesn't sound much these days, but pre TV deal/Neymar inflation crazy money it is a joke. And he's still earning a living off us.

Maybe someone like Darcy Blake - signed on an undisclosed (presumably a small fee), but ultimately seemed to have problems off the pitch which pretty much ended his career.

I was gonna add him; but then I edited the era - since 03/04.

£2.2 mill for Badbuy's 3 goals in 28 games. He's definitely on the list.

Maybe Ivan Kaviedes? Not sure if we owned him or signed him, but he did zilch.

Jack Hunt cost a couple of million and didn’t he break his ankle before playing a game for us? Loaned to a few clubs and we sold him for pennies to Sheffield Wednesday I think. I know £2 million isn’t a great deal of money by today’s standards, but not sure he ever played a game for us!

Remember him hitting the post against Fulham when it was easier to score. Who knows how his career might have turned out if he hadn’t missed! Was a national hero in his home land.

Ouch - I'd thankfully forgotten about Jon Macken.

Mutch has to figure near the top, although Akinbiyi was always on a hiding to nothing as he just wasn't much good.

 


Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

Maybe we got Adebayor on a free or something but I was just disgusted with the guy's attitude while he managed to somehow scrape a million or two wages from us. Total b'stard. Then he has the cheek to say Palace is the worst decision he's ever made...a c-unit if ever there was one.

We got our money back for McCarthy or thereabout, so no harm done really.

Mutch was instrumetal in pre-season every year, so that helped to pay back part of his fee.

 


Vive le Roy!
