Who is the worst player your club has signed?

[PorkChop]

In my lifetime, the worst signing Villa have made was Bosko Balaban. He was a (Croatian?) striker bought for 6 million in like 2002/2003, and he was so bad that his contract was terminated after playing only 8 league games. He never scored a goal for the club.

Emile Heskey is another one. Martin O'Neill was offered Falcao for 5 million in 2008, but instead O'Neill decided to sign Heskey to give us the firepower needed for Champions League qualification. Needless to say, we never did make it to the Champions League, despite Emile's best efforts.

Who are the worst signings / biggest flops in your club's history?

Bloody hell, remember Balaban. Juan Pablo Angel, people thought, might have been a big flop but tbf, iirc, didn't do too badly.

Where do you start? Kleberson, William Prunier, Bebe, Djemba Djemba.

Didn't realise Bradford had signed Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson....

Angel was lethal in the beginning, he picked up a pretty terrible injury afterwards though and was never the same player after that.

Also, I'd forgotten about Djemba Djemba. He was shite at Villa as well.

Francis Jeffers comes to mind.

Gerald Cid

Francis Jeffers, Pascal Cygan, Andrey Arshavin, Manuel Almunia, Sebastian Squillaci and Mikael Silvestre to name a few.

Arshavin wasn't that bad was he?
