    Schmidt repaid any fee/wages with his goal v Forest and assist v Brentford.

    Lita, keith treacy and glass back ross turnbull weren't great.

    According to Wiki, he's still the only player outside the Old Firm have spent £1m on. Oldham really had Aberdeen's pants down!

    My suggestion for worst signing would be ....Paul Conway...
    The moment he signed the contract to buy our football club ....

    I agree with Mido, Frimpong & some of the others (eg Gridlet) but would add Dave Regis

    That is a very impressive recall for the name of a player none of us ever saw play a competitive game 45 years ago

    Frimpong was only here 6 months and while he wasnt great was he a worse signing financially than leroy lita and giving him a 2 year deal or obbi olaure rumoured to be on around 10k a week on a 2 year deal.
    Matt mills was another we signed on a 6 month deal and was absolute ***** similar to frimpong although frimpong had the talent matt mills was just past it.

    I actually saw him run up the tunnel about half way through the first half against Gudja United.
    Sadly, McGettigan committed suicide a few years ago.

    Sorry to hear that about him, always sad that someone finds life not worth living

    I believe Frimpong is the worst signing I've ever seen for Barnsley. For what we paid out in both transfer fee and salary, we received absolutely nothing in return. Even worse, a lack of professionalism & respect to his employers, team mates & club supporters, especially when the club (struggling at the time) had put so much faith in him.

    As I sit here, like most of us, aghast at the utter tripe that we have on occasion brought into the club there must be a counter "Best" player bought thread.
    What saddens me is we never learn...Oulare proves it
