Most Pointless Signing

Diaby is a very strange inclusion.

I very much doubt that either inamoto or park were pushed onto wenger - dont forget the guy worked in japan for a number of years and loves to view himself as a pioneer so would want to be seen as tapping up the asian market too

Following the 'fox in the box, final bit of the jigsaw' bollocks and the big fee and the complete lack of contribution, it has to be Jeffers.

However, we're not alone. The Spanish press has recently highlighted the case of Kerreison, who Barca signed for 15mil, who never played a game and has just been released on a free.

Barcelona signed this Keirrison lad because he scored 20 goals in brazilian 2nd division. That said, Rossel has a lot of very dodgy business about here and I wouldn't doubt the big signings of Keirrison and Henrique ( another one that was expensive and never wore their shirt) had something of a money laundry thing to it.

Wiki still state he's still at Barca, on loan again.

A guy who gets paid £50,000 a week to lie on the treatment table and confessed to wear a Spuds shirt at home, I'd put him up there is useless and a big waste of space.

Well Stepanovs has to be pretty much the worse. :(

As said Clive Allen was crazy, although Wenger's had a few last few seasons. :?
