Who's the worst player we signed in the summer?

[Slim Man]

There's a few contenders but I think these are the only ones worth voting on.

Bindon and Soumaré are out of the vote as I think they're actually pretty useful.
Jairo and Bamford also obviously out as they're good.

There's a clear winner for me, but interested what the rest think.

 

[djbaldken]

Hard to get a cigarette paper between all of them.
But so far Chong for me has been shocking.

 

[KMC-1889]

voted for Barry on the basis that we wasted a loan fee and looking at Hulls accounts he’s on nearly £40K a week. Massive waste of money.

 

[derfblade.3]

I look at that list and it leaves me fuming. Who on earth is responsible for reeling in all that shite.
A season written off because of sheer incompetence.
Going back to the question iwould go Chong.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Barry by a country mile. Genuinely surprised that he was apparently a good league 2 footballer last season. Looked like a lad playing a pre-season friendly as a trialist… We’ll have forked out a small fortune for his ‘services’ to boot. Honking.

 

[Balham]

I’ve voted Chong on the basis that playing him actively makes us worse. It’s not like playing with 10, it’s like he’s playing the football version of The Traitors and is actively trying to sabotage us.

 

[BazWainwright]

All of them

Add to that

Ben 'way past his best' Mee
Ki-Jana 'get up, you knobhead' Hoever
Jamie 'is he still at United? Shackleton
Tom 'treatment table' Davies
Chiedozie 'who?' Ogbene
Christian 'no idea we'd signed him' Nwachkuwu
Ehije '55 on FIFA' Ukaki
Mihail 'is this a pub quiz?' Polendakov
Djibril 'sounds better than he actually is' Soumare

COH are responsible for turning this club sour, once more. This, despite Wilder being in charge, is looking more like a Clough/Adkins season than anything else. Desperation acquisitions, games we should have won and supposed quality players turning in a Deadbat 3/10

 

[Foody]

Has to be between Matos and McGuiness for me, actually paid decent money for them two. Went with Matos, who wasn't exactly first name on the team sheet for Oxford. Fail to see how we ever thought he'd be good enough. He's probably been even worse than I expected and I thought he'd be shit

 

[INTERUNITED]

How the fuck is Ben Godfrey not in the list? He's the worst of a shit lot for me (closely followed by a complete waste of nearly 7 million quid, Mark McGuiness).

 

[Wards]

7 million quid, Mark McGuiness

 

[Guesty]

I can't remember seeing a player less likely to contribute at the level he's found himself at as Louie Barry.

 

[Carlton Blade]

How the fuck is Ben Godfrey not in the list? He's the worst of a shit lot for me (closely followed by a complete waste of nearly 7 million quid, Mark McGuiness).

In what bizzaro land do you think United paid what I think might be the highest fee a L1 club has ever received for Mark McGuinness?

 

[Gin&Juice]

Louie Barry was a special kind of shit. Fuck knows what the vetting process was in our scouting.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

McGuinness for me because I believe we paid a decent fee for him? Also Luton paid over 6m for him

 

[BazWainwright]

Louie Barry was a special kind of shit. Fuck knows what the vetting process was in our scouting.

First game, first ten, bursts down the left in front of G and H Block. Bristol City on their heels thinking 'maybe it was the wrong idea to anger Ruben Selles's new Sheffield United and take the lead and now we're for it!'

Everyone is out of their seats yelling, "goooo-on!"

And that was it. After that ... nothing.

Louie Barry. Gerrim signed, sendim back.

 

[Balham]

If we’re using fees, Chong is the clear winner.

£2,500,000 for someone who probably has clogs on under his boots.

In that context, £3.5m on McGuinness and £1m on Matos is money well spent.

 

[Pintor75]

Barry was a major let down in the summer signings, but Cannon is the dud of the year for the money spent

 

[Thrice]

Chong has to be the most disappointing because unlike the others he has an actual track record of being useful.

Then again, there's a reason Luton go relegated twice in a row with him in their team.

 

[moody1889]

Who the f* ck is in charge of Transfers and finance at the club the Ali Dia of recruitment and finance.

 

[Cyprus Blade]

In desperation I took out a dice from the old neglected Monopoly set, allocated numbers as follows

1 Mark 'weak as piss' McGuiness
2 Danny 'look busy' Ings
3 Alex 'trampoline feet' Matos
4 Tahith
5 Louie 'cross out of play' Barry
6 Nils 'one for the future' Zatterstrom

then rolled the dice. No AI was used in this decision and it was free of all known algorithms. Meanwhile Luke Rhinehart is being considered as an addition to the transfer team.

ps in case you are interested I threw a 3.

 

[Bladesman]

I can't remember seeing a player less likely to contribute at the level he's found himself at as Louie Barry.

Yep Louie wasn't ready for this level or still had injury issues when playing for us.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

All of them but at least we got rid of Barry and the missing one, Godfrey.

For me it's Chong. I can mildly accept signing Mcguiness as a backup centre back (but not the price or 4 year contract which is criminal) but Chong offers nothing apart from being our "number 1 ever coolest hair do's" at end of season awards night.

 

[Champagneblade]

I’ve gone for Barry.

My expectations were low for Chong and McGuinness and they have not disappointed!

But Barry was this 1 in 3 scorer who was expected to step up and he’s been a chronic waste of a shirt.

James McAtee type loan he certainly wasn’t!

 

[Korean Blade]

Ogbene for me, only because I had the highest hope for him for some reason. Other signings probably equate to my expectation levels. Horrendous window.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Least favourite Chong:
Heart of a pea, weak. He hides: that is constantly runs into traffic or offloads the ball to avoid any sort of confrontation or need to take responsibility. Zero defensive work.

Right answer: swamp donkey Mcguinness.
Mistimes header, regularly miles out of position, slow, cumbersome, bad on the ball and nesh as
f uck.

 

[Bladesman101]

during the last 2 seasons we’ve missed out on so many younger players who were ready for the next step up. Players like Richard Koné, Morgan Whittaker etc.

The summer was sheer desperation and so many mistakes were made. Ings, Matos, McG, Mee, Chong, Bamford all signed with no clear vision.

For me some people need sacking at the top, it shouldn’t be underestimated just how many SUFC have been put back this summer, when a fan could’ve done a better job.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Is there an option on there to tick all 6

I know it’s hard to say but when we were a Premier League team, the likes of Eze, Olise and Bowen were such obvious targets in our profile of good EFL, it always amazes me we didn’t get them 12 months before a PL team did. They were no secret at all.

 

[ancientblade]

definetly chong didnt think anybody could be worse than barry mcguinness and matsos but this guy is something else total clown cant even control the ball he should be playing parks football on sunday mornings

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Matos

Unlike the others he's had fitness and others in his position not fit and and still can't get in the side because he's so far off it.
