Let's be honest, firmly one of the worst signings in the club's history. Right down there with Aidan Newhouse, Pawel Abbott and Renato Sanches. And one or two others who don't immediately spring to mind, but you get the picture.

Ooo I'm not sure about that

A poor signing indeed but well away from one of the worst in our history

It's all contextual, and many will not agree of course, but I firmly believe he's right down there. Mainly because as he came at a time where as a club we didn't have a lot of cash sloshing around, but we hung our hat on him (and £2m) as a replacement for Piroe. There couldn't have been a worse fit for us if we'd actively tried. For me, he is our Championship-era equivalent signing of when we signed Clucas to replace Gylfi.

For what he produced on the pitch, I can see the argument, even if I think there's been worse.

Looking at the bigger picture though, didn't we sign him for around £2m? We got one year of (poor) play out of him, then got his wages off the books for a season and then got £1m back for him (apparently). When you compare his financial cost to the club as opposed to say Bony the second time, he's small potatoes.

He's not even in the top 10. I don't think he's any good but he did score some for us and apparently we've had over a million back for him coupled with loan fees and wages covered. Not even in the same stratosphere as Sanches, Clucas, Baston, Bony (2nd spell), Paloschi, Eder, Mesa, Ayew (2nd spell), Tabanou, Beattie.

Pound for pound the likes of Duffy, Abbott, Amankwah, Crainey were also far worse.
