Worst NFFC Signings In The Last 10 Years - wassy04 - 10-06-2022
As we turn our backs on one of our worst ever signings I thought a poll might be fun to vote for our worst ever (maybe a best ever poll to follow)
I changed it to last 10 years as there's so many in that period already, this was funny. I'm starting to understand what went wrong...
So a few ideas:
Jenkinson
Bong
Diakhaby
Gil Dias
Arter
Knockaert
Bachirou
Da Costa
Rafa Mir
Vellios
Carvalho :fishing:
Hefele
Soudani
Zach Clough
Ariyibi
Cummings
Lica
Dumitru
Veldwijk
Bendtner
Chris O'Grady
Abdoun
Djebbour
Ishmael Miller

I'd add Muric to that - turned out appallingly for us.
So I think you're being a bit harsh with though. I don't think Soudani was *that* bad. We never saw Bachirou or Da Costa for long enough to see what they could do. And O'Grady was limited but at least tried. Bit harsh on Vellios too - scored a few goals and a couple of absolute screamers.

Geez, that's a tough list to pick from.

Diakhaby for me. Dreadful.

I prefer to look at this list as a bit of nostalgia rather than negatively.
Hopefully this kind of signing will now be a thing of the past!

Yeah I thought Vellios was harsh too when I wrote it, I think Bach is fair he only played a few times and wasn't good. Also Da Costa played about 20 games and only scored once which was an own goal and he is a striker! He definitely makes the list.
I don't remember much about Soudani, guess he did just have a bad injury so maybe let him off.
Who was that guy we signed then sold on that literally didn't make a squad? Tachsiditis?

Yeah that was how I saw it too! If anything I would say it's just a massive complement to compare this lot with our current squad and the gulf is crazy.
Tbf this is the worst too, there was some good ones in there too.

Can't remember if Tachstidis (spelling?) made a squad or not. I know Rodrigo Ely didn't though.

I think a best managers thread wouldn't have many names...
