Its only a bit of fun, if you didn't want to contribute to the thread then don't. Where a player brought in for 30m or a free transfer, they can still be considered bad signings. There was a lot of criticism of pardew signings especially last season.

Best: mandanda/cabaye (cabaye i feel had such an impact on last season)
worst: mutch, while not the worst player signed he was the worst player put on the pitch regularly and always a crop.

yeah i was thinking that i think hes very decent.

I seriously can't think of any permanent buys that have been awful but McCarthy is probably the worst. Quite impressive really if he was sold for the same amount we paid for him.

I'm not sure if Adebayor was a loan or a signing, if the latter then he turned out to poor for the wages he was on. He wasn't a bad player, far from it, but I had expected a few goals from him.

Mutch was a decent squad player at the time.

I think Mandanda will be Pardews best signing although I hope it will be Benteke.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Sanogo was unfairly derided in my opinion, you have to remember the position the club was in at the time, we were hardly an inviting prospect for top strikers and I'm sure the deals had to be rushed that January with Pardew just coming in. Sanogo done a job for us, scored 1 goal I think and knocked in a couple that were ruled out for very close offside calls.
