Who would you say is the biggest waste of money to have worn the sacred shirt since our stint in the Prem in 2003/04 - I'm talking someone who we paid a transfer fee for, on a permanent. I still can't get past Jordon Mutch - £4'500'000. It doesn't sound much these days, but pre TV deal/Neymar inflation crazy money it is a joke. And he's still earning a living off us. Maybe someone like Darcy Blake - signed on an undisclosed (presumably a small fee), but ultimately seemed to have problems off the pitch which pretty much ended his career.

Maybe Ivan Kaviedes? Not sure if we owned him or signed him, but he did zilch.

Jack Hunt cost a couple of million and didn’t he break his ankle before playing a game for us? Loaned to a few clubs and we sold him for pennies to Sheffield Wednesday I think. I know £2 million isn’t a great deal of money by today’s standards, but not sure he ever played a game for us!

Ouch - I'd thankfully forgotten about Jon Macken. Mutch has to figure near the top, although Akinbiyi was always on a hiding to nothing as he just wasn't much good.
Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune) |

Maybe we got Adebayor on a free or something but I was just disgusted with the guy's attitude while he managed to somehow scrape a million or two wages from us. Total b'stard. Then he has the cheek to say Palace is the worst decision he's ever made...a c-unit if ever there was one.
