comfortably the worst purchase we've ever made which is saying something
Semantics I know but!

I don't think he was a terrible buy - I think it was a terrible deal

I think on paper it was a good signing if it was circa £0.5-1m. I think he showed some glimpses of what he could do at times and did suit us at that time

There's a difference. The terrible buys are ones that;

a) were never going to play
b) never fitted into a style

There are a handful of bad buys but hell of a lot more of bad deals
