Any worst team has to have Naby Keita in midfield and El Hadji Diouf in the forward position I don't care about anyone else, as long as they're in it.
18 Apr 2026 20:34:40
Sean Dundee as striker.
18 Apr 2026 20:37:46
@grino75, while Keita disappointed given the expectations, he was nowhere near the worst player to play for us. He was genuinely talented as one could see when he played (though that hardly happened).

I'd absolutely have Keita in there. He was terrible, and, when you factor in, he wasn't far off one of our most expensive ever signings at the time. It makes it even worse.
18 Apr 2026 21:20:39
Definitely Karius as the goalie. Klopp got it wrong with him, cost us the Champs League.
18 Apr 2026 21:23:05
Joke Hole has to be in there somewhere.
18 Apr 2026 21:59:04
Worst left back has to be a toss up between Konchesky or Julian Dicks. Diouf has to be in there as well.
Keita doesn't deserve to be in there, had some good moments, shame he just wasn't on the pitch enough to have more.
18 Apr 2026 22:04:11
Aspas was a decent player. Never got a fair shake.
18 Apr 2026 22:24:45
Stephen Caulker could be in central defender and striker positions.
18 Apr 2026 22:25:10
Keita has to be in there, because he is the one player with so much talent, but did not care and just was happy to sign then collect his wages without putting in any effort.
We signed a world class player, and he was a bum and should have been sold within 2 years.
19 Apr 2026 00:23:06
You can't count Julian Dicks - he wasn't actually a footballer.
Still say Jimmy Carter was the least talented player to play in the first team.
19 Apr 2026 03:04:46
Alberto Aquilani was a good player. It was not his fault that he was bought when he was already injured. When he played, he played really well. The issue for him was that Rafa got the sack, and then Hodgson was brought in, who had never seen a creative player ever in his life and did not know what to do with such players.
Hence he was shipped off back to Italy. Under any other manager (even Brenda), he could have been a good player for us.
19 Apr 2026 08:34:19
Poulsen, Leonhardsen, Cheyrou, Jean Michel Ferri, Kvarme, Antonio Nunez, Ozan Kabak, Marko Grujic.
These guys have to be in the reckoning.
19 Apr 2026 08:47:13
Naby certainly didn't live up to the fee, but he managed to play 129 games and got 18 goals and assists. We've signed players who probably didn't play 15 games, they were that bad.
Similar to Carroll, he managed 58 games.
Lots of big name players would get into the worst value for money signings, and you could probably have Isak in there at this point with Darwin & Carroll, but if it's based on playing ability, players like Dundee who made 5 appearances with zero goals and assists are front runners.

Arthur Melo over Aquilani, I think Melo was bought in to cover injuries, only to be injured play like 4 minutes all season. ?
