Who has been your worst signing you have ever made.

Mine has to be messi for 45m. Yes this seems like a brilliant bargain but he has never scored for me and his ratrings are despite me playing him in his best position. Joe Cole was much better than him and Messi just became backup

I think it depends on each save, performances are likely to be unique between players.

Probably Cardozo as Tottenham, who scoed about 7 in 40 games that season.

Or maybe John Bostock as Hull. He did absolutely terrible until I told him he was performing unbelieveably badly and then he played so well he became my captain next season.

satanasangel · 31/05/2009 #10 satanasangel Rotation

The worst player I have bought was Saivet for £2.5m. He is shocking in my Man Utd game, I thought he would progress better than he did.

I tried to sign Messi, but he didn't want to leave Barca. So I am signing Marquinhos from Palmeiras for a 3rd of the price and he has better stats.

Jason Scotland for Burnley second season, scored 7 as a lone striker and got an average rating of about 6.2. Luckily my wingers and Cm's scored lots

u need to give saviet time obv he is not good 1st season but he does become very good, he was good on my Brum game (2nd season)

lewis_p · 31/05/2009 #14 lewis_p Backup

Mine is Axel Witsel for 17.5.

fmguy · 31/05/2009 #15 fmguy First Team

ribery. bought him for barca for 32 million kept him until january and sold him to arsenal for the same price. played him on the left but I feel he is always underrated on fm.

UKMACKIE · 31/05/2009 #16 UKMACKIE First Team

Gary Cahill from bolton 11.25 million. Bloody awful average rating at CB in premiership was 6.4

MAN U FAN · 31/05/2009 #17 MAN U FAN Trainee

Mine was balotelli on my Barcelona game signed him for 42 million in my 3rd season thinking he could replace a ageing eto but i was wrong and a huge waste of money.

ChunkThePower · 31/05/2009 #18 ChunkThePower Trainee

mine also has got to be Messi. I paid £43m for him in my 3rd season as man u and he played shocking.His ratings for the season was an average of 6.86. i sold him at the end of the season to AC Milan for £50m and bought Modric for half the price.i dont know why but whenever i have bought any of the so called best players in the world(Kaka,Ronaldo,Messi)they have neva performed for me.

I am in my 3rd season, I played him in 14 games 1st season and 17 games 2nd season. He has had a little improvement, but nothing to right home about. Also Welbeck scores more frequantly and is developing better.

Yeah, the guy needs a long time, but once he gets into his groove, he is a quality player.

Gummzi · 01/06/2009 #25 Gummzi Trainee

I have a few flop players in my Liverpool team.
Kaká, C.Ronaldo and Messi all playing below their standards.
Ronaldo just recently started playing OK. But I will have to say Kaká was my worst signing. Bought him for 50 million and he only played 9 games on his first season and 1 goal.

Coach Carter · 02/06/2009 #28 Coach Carter David N'Gog Is A Legend.

Mine Was Adriano I Got Him When I Started As Man Utd And He Played 35 Games And Sored 5 And His AV Was 6.32 In 35 Games And He Was That Bad The Board Even Put Him On The Transfer List And The Only Team He Was Wanted Was Derby And I Paid 18 Million For Him So Yeh That Was My Worst Buy

Mike · 02/06/2009 #29 Mike D/WB R, DM, AMC

Fernando Torres, from Real Madrid (Backup) to Manchester City (Key Player). Started 36 games in the Premier League, average rating of 6.33, and a goal tally (in the EPL) of 9.

Daniel Cousin for Hull, on the other hand, managed a brilliant 26 goals, top scorer in the league, and got relegated.

Villa robbed 30mil off me for Agbonlahor D: Worst decision ever.
Signed Joao Moutinho TWICE ¬_¬ He played bad so I sent him off elsewhere, where he played well.... So I decided Re-sign him... Average rating after 20 games was 6.02... So I sent him Arsenal and he got 2nd in Player of the Season... I spent 39mil overall on him >.>
