Padovano has to be right up there though surely.

 


We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

I mean Florian Marange (was that his name? French left back signed under Holloway) got signed then didn't even make it into the 25 man squad. That takes some beating... although I guess we never actually got to see how bad he was! Who was the other left back we also signed that year who was also pretty useless. Ex United and spurs man.

That was a ridiculous summer. We just signed absolutely anyone we could and a lot of them were dross, God knows how we survived. Looking at Wiki for that season, our full list of incomings was... Dobbie, Gayle, Thomas, Campana, Phillips, Grandin, Chamakh, Alexander, Marange, Kebe, Hunt, Mariappa, Bannan, Guedioura, Dann, Hennessey, Ledley, Puncheon, Jerome, Ince.

Few good ones in there in there but, overall, absolute madness.

Yep some of those names make you laugh. Although at least they didn't cost us much like Fulham's wasted fortune a couple of seasons back.

Interestingly I've just seen Campana linked with a move from Levante - asking price 27m! We obviously just picked him up too early.

The likes of him, Jonny Williams and Max Meyer suggest that these diminutive attacking midfielders / playmakers don't tend to fare well at Palace. Definitely a shame!

Brolin, perhaps? Lakis?

 


Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

Agree on Brolin mate! Appalling mess of a footballer by the time we got him ...

The £10m a year that Benteke has likely cost us (wages and depreciation) are eye watering and have hobbled us.

Depends what worst means. Worst player or worst value for money.

Outright worst, some bit-part player of little relevance.

Worst VFM: Benteke

(People say he kept us up for a season...i say a good £10m player might well also have kept us up and risen in value. Murray could also have got more goals that year had Tekkers not been around)

 


If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.
