Who's the worst player that you've seen your club sign? I'm talking about a real disappointment here. Someone your team's manager waxed lyrical about, yet could hardly pull off a 5-yard pass.

Keith Dunne.
No worse than Elden de Getrouwe. We've had some stinkers.Quote:

Paul Doolin. Good when he played, but he was reponsible for so many bad signings that it seems only fair to sum them all up into him.
As a random example, I think Greg O'Dowd has a league winner's medal. I have no idea how.
Joe O'Cearuill
Irish international 7/8 months before we signed him. Ended up playing about 15 games last season de to various injuries as after 2/3 weeks it was obvious he wasn't first choice material. he did have one great game in Elfsborg though (at right back)
Michael Keane is up there too, and Gary McPhee might get a look in too as Eamon Collins raved so hard about him
Saw him a few times last season, thought he was very over-rated.Quote:

From a good few seasons ago ...
Glen Fitzpatrick, Alan McNevin & Shane Harte spring to mind ... pure muck on the pitch but I was often assured that they were class in training :o
More recently...
The wonderfully goal-shy star striker ... Paul McTiernan
Can we add to that Darren Young, Colm Heffernan, the headless winger Gavin DoyleQuote:

He was absolutely rubbish.
Sean Connor was raving about him for months beforehand.
Too many to mention but a relevant and recent one was Kyle Moran. Absolute muck and he get's a game for Pats now :eek:
God, I don't know where to start. Sinisa Savic would have to be up there. Looked class in a trial game, we signed him on pretty big money and he was absolutely useless. Memorably spent one game in Tolka snogging the face off his girlfriend all game at the back of the stand. He also wanted crowds to be photoshopped into pictures of him in action for the Under 21s so he could put them on his official website.
Gary Beckett. Sums up last season- overpaid, injured 90% of the time and dung the rest.
Not a Drogheda fan but the Senagalese striker they had last year was a disappointment.
Pierre Ennis. God, he was shocking. As was Effin' Ekoku, but at least he had the excuse of being eight million years old.
