Whoever handled their transfers must have loved getting a phone call from Murray/Bain.Austria Vienna really mugged us off for Sebo too.

It's a thread about our worst transfers ever. You said Ramsey had to be up there? Correct?
But if he's up there then he must be close surely?Yip. I didnt say he was worse than those you listed though.
But if he's up there then he must be close surely?
To be fair for Bonnisel he was signed as a back if Arthur Numan got injured and wasn’t needed.Senderos is a physical and a moral coward.
Barton came off a great season and I think he thought he’d stroll it which obviously he never.
Bruno Alves for me only turned up when he wanted to
Ramsey was a disaster all in
re-signing Kris Boyd
Dragan Mladenovic is up there with one of the most bizarre signings i’ll ever see
Jerome Bonnisel same as Mladenovic
I reckon you've just thrown his name out there with no real thought tbh.He's certainly up there aye. Its a pretty long list
I reckon you've just thrown his name out there with no real thought tbh.
The way he ran off when he got sent off said everything.

If memory serves me right we paid 3.75 million for him and rushed through medical as Man U were interested also.Daniel Prodan. Never kicked a ball for us.
We bought him for £5.8m and sold him for around £2m.
He had about 10-15 excellent games.
Don’t be confused by the Arteta of Everton and Arsenal, we got a young guy learning lessons in British football and it cost us a fortune for the privilege.
He also drove the price down by acting like a bit of a dick to force a move.
Wow some honkers there- can't even place Stanger.... but be really shite if he's keeping Ian black off the listCarlos Peña

Booze bag and constantly on the fags at Sals in Milngavie.Financially our worst ever transfer is Michael Ball.
If you add fee plus wages less fee received back we’ve never lost more on a player.
We’ve had worse players but for someone that cost between £6 and £7m and was on reported wages of £32k - £40k a week he was a huge let down.
He missed the penalty that cost us our first major European silverware in 50 years. Of course there’s obsession.The obsession over Ramsey is so weird. A guy who was here for 14 weeks.
Why doesn’t anyone have the same disdain for Diallo? Who coincidentally, has a goals contribution every 166 minutes.
The emotional hysteria over him is beyond sad. Like a crazy ex-girlfriend.

Maxwell also cost us an OF game at IbroxRamsey, Barton, Bertie Bombscare, Sebo and Prodan to name but a few. Surprised no-one's mentioned a Goalie so I'll pitch in Ally Maxwell. Cost us back to back trebles so he's Doomed for eternity in my book.
Surprised it took 6 pages for him to be mentionedDalcio.
Gotta be the wee earl haig O'halloran....
If he scores, we still don’t win.
If Goldson knows how to kick a ball, we win.
I know who I’m more upset with from that game.
2.2 millionIf memory serves me right we paid 3.75 million for him and rushed through medical as Man U were interested also.
Chronic knee injury never kicked a ball for us.
ZunguToo many bad ones to name but I’ll stick with the ones I knew would be absolutely shite before we signed them or for one reason or another wouldn’t work out it but we signed them anyway

Interesting take. I thought Barton was utterly dreadful, it wasn't an exaggeration at all.Peña and Herrera were rotten. Ostenstad and Jeffers have to be up there.
See with Barton, he wasn’t great but it’s exaggerated how bad he was IMO. Made some comments in the press so the Tims were keen to get their own back by claiming Brown chased him out of Scottish football. Was probably one of the better players in his spell (not saying much tbf) and Warburton shouldn’t have been so hasty to get rid of him.
He was running along a corridor in the hotel in Bucharest late for leaving for the game. Should have tripped him.Olivier Bernard was fucking brutal

Was it killie where some no-mark brushed him off and left him trailing in his wake? Iirc that's the game where alarm were ringing all over the place that our attempt to bolster the team as we stepped up to premiership had failed. we looked a mile off it, and barton was one of the worst.
he swung from gash to average - can't remember a single game he played where I thought "that's more like it".
Did you not think it just had to be another player, considering IAN’s achievements at Rangers?Oh silly me for thinking it was the same person
I was always a fan of Sone Aluko or was it Smith that signed him, wish we kept a hold of him for longer anywayThere are some absolute brutal ones to recall but for me it could be anyone who was signed by Ally McCoist! I don’t think he signed a single player I would give pass marks to!
Ally signed him and you’re right he definitely wasn’t a failure. Good goals to games ratio.I was always a fan of Sone Aluko or was it Smith that signed him, wish we kept a hold of him for longer anyway
Arteta is an absolute nonsense suggestionThere a lots of names on this thread that should be nowhere near it.
We sign lots of players on frees or low fees and lots of them fail. They’re often punts and are offset by the frees and low fees that come in and become valuable players.
Others come in for big money, don’t work out and we manage to get rid for a decent fee.
The real candidates for this title are the ones that real money was spent and lost on.

I notice nobody’s mentioned a midfielder we took a £4m hit on - Mikel Arteta
Nah you’ll have a few who’ll still be starry eyed and in awe that we managed to get such a superstar to Ibrox for 6 months.Ask this in 4/5 years, Aaron Ramsey will be top of the lot.
Fishing?James Sands … strange signing for me
Because Diallo was a wean with barley any senior experience and didn’t treat his loan here as a glorified sparring session to look after his international career?The obsession over Ramsey is so weird. A guy who was here for 14 weeks.
Why doesn’t anyone have the same disdain for Diallo? Who coincidentally, has a goals contribution every 166 minutes.
The emotional hysteria over him is beyond sad. Like a crazy ex-girlfriend.
Not many players that we lost more money on.Arteta is an absolute nonsense suggestion
He gave us something back though, he played a pretty significant part in a title win. We’ve spent decent money on many players who didn’t really give us anything.Not many players that we lost more money on.
I think he was a good player and it was a disgrace that he was allowed to leave for as little as £2m, but on pure financials he was a bit of a disaster.
