Rousseau 9,484 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 A list of the most expensive signings we've ever made, excluding the good and current players. (Some are not 'duds', but included because of their price tag.) Pick your three worst in terms of value.

Rousseau 9,484 Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 7.2 million for a 29-year-old Bert Konterman! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 It has to be Flo, on the basis of that crazy price but it definitely isn't just signing price and some of the worst deals appear lower down that list and contributed almost nothing.

Gonzo79 13,750 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Ball, Rozental and Grezda probably the worst of the lot. Still think we paid far too much for Kent too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,484 Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 It's an interesting question, I think. Someone like Negri, who was superb for a couple of weeks then disappears. 4M for the superb season? Worth it. Over 4 years? debatable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
