10 Worst Championship Signings Of All Time

[Cardiff-Cal]

According to The Second Tier Podcast.

Somehow we don’t actually feature in this list, as a buying club at least, but there are three players in the list that have played for us.

Would anyone like to guess the former players or any of the others?

Two of the former players I think are quite guessable, the other one is a toughie.

10. £8m
9. (Former Bluebird) £4m + add ons
8. £9m
7. £9m
6. £12m
5. £11.25m
4. £5m
3. £13.2m
2. (Former Bluebird) £8m
1. (Former Bluebird) £12m


I will add the name of the buying clubs in a bit if needed.

Is Chris Samba to QPR in there?

[the other bob wilson]

Forest paid around £13 million for some Portuguese midfielder who didn’t play a great deal for them didn’t they? How about the South American midfielder Warnock paid millions for when he was Boro manager? Talking of Warnock, how on earth didn’t Gary Madine make it into the top ten?

Random one but wasn't Yanis Wildschut an expensive flop when Norwich signed him, no idea from where, then he joined us on loan and was crap?

We’ve had worse, Madine, the McKay twins, Bacuna vassell Fowler and Ojo all fall into that category of “what the F??? We’re they thinking 🤔

It’s not. Similar fee and same club though so can see why you said it.
