RE: Worst NFFC Signings In The Last 10 Years - Plymouth red - 10-06-2022
Where to begin - my god 2016/17 was one of the worst transfer windows ever and with those reinforcements it is amazing we didn't get relegated - thank god for Britt because we really had no right to stay up that season - torrid recruitment, torrid season
Anyway, I had to check back - many of these players I have some vague recollection of them ranging from being a bit crap to really questioning why i couldn't have made it as a footballer if they could.

Really to pick one out of that lot so would go with the duo of Arter and Freeman just because I was actually really optimistic when we signed them thinking we had signed two really good players. Whereas none of the 2016/17 cohort could ever be described as good players while the 2019/20 collective were so many and so hit and miss that you could forgive some of the dross that they signed.
Also reckon we could probably start another discussion - worst Forest XI of the last ten years

Very harsh sticking Jokic in that list - he was pretty solid as I remember. Ansarifard wasn’t awful either.

It’s still Carvalho if we’re talking cost to the club

You are all forgetting one man which is understandable because no one ever saw him.
Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the one and only Abdoulaye Diallo.

Great shout, I'm pretty sure I saw a photo of him once, that's it.
RE: Worst NFFC Signings In The Last 10 Years - Salvatore Matrecano - 11-06-2022
Seeing as its a bit of fun now and hopefully all is in the past.
Worst signing overall Jenkinson , absolutely nothing good to say about him
Worst Value , sadly Carvalho
Worst loan , Federico Macheda, cant believe he was a professional footballer
Special club award for giving us the worst Loans Wolves, for the combination of Bonatini, Mir and Teixera
Most comical signing Lord Bendtner
Most Bizarre Raffik Djebbour,
Biggest nobhead Abdoun, runner up Cummings
Invisible man award shared between Diallo and Tachtsidis
Terrible player but I loved him anyway, Pereira
Biggest disappointment Zach Clough
The Marco Pascolo award for worst goalkeeper, Muric just pips Mad Vlad
Best comedy moment Robbie Findlay’s miss, Gil Dias vs Norwich, and Im sure I will se the funny side one day DaCosta vs Stoke
Biggest sicknote sponsored by Mcvitees digestives, 3 way tie between Jack Hobbs, Hefele and Kelvin Wilson mk 2. Sadly Hobbs put his back out climbing on stage to receive the award, Hefele and wilson did their hamstrings trying to lift the trophy. Edit, a late entrant I forgot about who would have lifted the trophy only he got injured getting in the taxi on the way to the award ceremony, Matty Fryatt.
And now the main event of the evening the prestigious Eugene Dadi award for the player with the least discernible footballing talent overall. Some very tough competition here
Highly commended: Dumitriu, Veldwijk, Lica, OGrady, Diakhaby
Your winner ladies and gentlemen Kyle Ebecilio

Did we sign a Kuwaiti goalkeeper at one point? Or did I dream that.

Khalid (I think) al Rashidi. Made the bench once or twice. I remember Fawaz trying to justify his signing by tweeting videos of saves he'd made. The goalie, not Fawaz.

That was probably a fake.
