So who's our Eric Djemba Djemba?

[LittleMate]

Every club makes a mistake signing and many on here may think we've made more than most. I've seen a few names flying about - so who's the worst?

For my part I'd like to nominate Phil Mulryne. He made some of the others that may get named on this thread look fitter than Ronaldo; arrived with a pedigree but that pedigree wasn't worth a tin of chum. Now a vicar, I believe, where he must still be repenting his sins for pretending to be a footballer at this club.

[MrB]

Sammy Ayorinde!

[TourDeO]

I seem to remember Tommy Taylor trying to sign Billy Beal from Cambridge for about 6 months - he was the must have signing. Completely underwhelming apart from one great goal if I recall correctly.

He is not a Vicar
He is a Roman Catholic priest &
Dominican friar.

Calling him a Vicar is like saying
he was a footballer for leyton orient.

[Bergen]

Bjørn Heidenstrøm.

Huge star in Norway, hopeless in League Two.

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

Naim/Niam Uka.

That said I don't recall Djemba-Djemba ever being seen as their big mistake. More like someone like Taibi, Kleberson or even Alexis Sanchez

[o-no]

Sammy Ayorinde!

Blimey, there's a blast from the past. Was he the one who had to get married or something?

Yup you got it

[Lucky7]

So many
But from recent times Shwan Saman Jalal only played twice but jeez he stuck out like a sore thumb
I believe he plays for Chesterfield these days

[Born to run]

Doug Allder

[gshaw]

Gianvito Plasmati, hilariously bad (remember *that* halfway line volley?!) and by all accounts was on big money too so the story goes...

[BiggsyMalone]

Djemba-Djemba isn’t even the Djemba-Djemba of United. He scored the winner at Leeds and twatted Sol Campbell.

Dong, Bebe and Prunier were all worse

[Tony Soprano]

Scott Fitzgerald
Manny Vassuer
David Partridge

[Scuba Diver]

James Scowcroft.

Who was the Aussie that Pat Holland gave a 4 year contract and Taylor never played him?
God we’ve had some crap managers who wasted money.

I believe he cost 50k.
Taylor signed an unbelievable amount of crap, how he survived 5 years I’ll never know.

Can’t forget!!

Steve Riches was the Aussie signed by Holland but not sure about a 4 year deal.

Taylor also signed some Italian striker once who was unbelievably bad.

That’s him cheers.
Yep I’m pretty sure he was on a 4 year deal.

Not forgetting the late David Stride.

Honesltly Stride has to win

What other player in History makes a bad tackle & the entire home crowd start to chant

OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF
Then booing the ref for only giving him yellow .

Sammy Ayorinde!

Another one who Barry bigged up.
Sure he was another one given a long contract.
