    Can't belive his name hasn't been mentioned more.

    Matt Mills we signed just before hecky left was another poor signing. Heather Mills would have been better.

    Was it Richard Kell we bought with a broken leg and he never recovered/played?

    He hasn’t been great for us but Watters wouldn’t even come anywhere near into my thinking for worst signing. Maybe worst loan to permanent possibly but not overall worst.

    As others have said, in terms of alleged cost, Oulare has got to be right up there.

    In terms of excitement that we’d actually signed them but then they turned out awful, Frimpong and Mido both need a mention.

    Kevin Dixon, Richard Kell and Maceo Rigters that`s just 3 from a very long list.

    Based on reported cost to the club you'd have to say Oulare and Benson. Harsh on Benson though to include him as he looks a decent player, just so unlucky with injuries. Oulare though, just a total waster.

    Most baffling though that I can remember is Tony Bedau, still can't work out to this day why we loaned him.

    Sheron & Hulme must be up there based on that criteria

    Frimpong. Remember a certain poster from Hemsworth spunking over us signing an ex Arsenal youth player.

    Dench.

    As bad as Watters has been, he's probably not even in our top 20 worst ever signings.

    Id disagree with that and raise you Mr Burton for the laziest player

    Deon Burton publicly went on record moaning about Barnsley and stated he never wanted to be here, and it showed by all means, if memory serves me right and that's whilst he was still playing for us. Lol

    Richard Kell. At least we funded his pilot training.

    That is profoundly unfair on average French centre halves
