    I fail to see why Cornelius wouldn't be number 1. Awful awful signing. Relative benefit to cost, he's right up there.

    Erik Lamela shouldn't be near that list.

    True he hasn't lived up to the hype, but he's been injured for the most part. I think you'll see his true potential this season. He's a very good player.

    Not entirely sure how Sagbo has avoided it. 2 goals isn't a good return for 2.6m.

    He cost £1.5m and he's played some decent stuff, he wouldn't make a list of the top hundred worst signings last season.

    His performance against us in the League Cup was awful/hilarious.

    Sagbo is a good player for us. He cost £1.5m and he's probably worth at least double that now. If Ulloa doesn't bring the goods, expect to see him on that list next year.

    Obviously. The same goes for Livermore and Snodgrass, who are just as likely to succeed or fail.

    He was £1.6m think your mixing him up with Proschwitz. He played a vital part in the cup run and staying up. He actually scored 4 goals last season and although that may not be many his general play is first class maybe the best of our current strikers. Sagbo was a very good signing.

    If loan signings count, surely Danny Graham would be there.

    Sagbo though, no way. He may not have scored many but his hold-up play was great.

    I also think Sagbo has looked very good in pre season so far and having settled in his first season now I'm expecting him to improve even more.

    Livermore and Snodgrass are established prem players who perform well every season. Ulloa isn't, so no real comparison

    Sagbo had a good season for us last term, he was a good buy and we could see the best of him this season. He looked good last night, and took his goal well.

    The only one we should have up there is Danny Graham.

    It's this type of post that really puts me off this site. If it was a wind up then fair enough but the silly **** is being serious. Please go away until you have something half sensible to say

    He was shocking for us. Its a shame, he did pretty good at Swansea....maybe it was a style of play that did not help.

    Fellaini has to be the worst for me, given his price, pound for pound he was garbage!

    How the **** do you work that out? Livermore has already spent a full season in the PL, and played well, Snodgrass has also spent 2 seasons in the PL and been a key performer in the PL.

    Ulloa has spent no time in the PL.

    You do write some ****e.

    Sorry AKCJ, but that really is a stupid comment.

    How is it?

    Do you have the gift of foresight?


    If Snodgrass and Livemore don't improve drastically then the 16m outlay will be a bigger joke than it already is.
