    Copying the idea from the worst signing of Summer part.

    My candidates

    Elano
    Petrov
    Bale
    Sagna
    Tevez
    Torres

    My answer without doubt Elano. Sven pulled off bargain of the season for 8m. Too bad he is Brazilian... otherwise he would be first choice for any other national team in the world.

    Sagna? Are you pulling my plonker?

    In that case we'll add Charles Itandje, Owen Hargreaves, Danny Murphy and Scooby Doo to that list.

    Moustapha Salifou. He's the Togolese Zidane, according to Adebayor. i don't need to see him play to know that that must be true.

    ok settled in pretty quickly and has done well in majority of games - getting sent off at the weekend was the first real black mark against him. hasn't done enough to be considered one of the best signings of the summer though

    Honestly would be the last in my list. But still has made quite a good impact with Liverpool. Though for 20m+ I would have wanted more.

    Well coming to a team like Arsenal and becoming first choice within couple of games. I don't recollect him even putting a foot wrong.

    For 6m is a great deal.

    He's scored a couple of goals and about 5 game sinto the season you were all whinging about how he was a flop. He shouldn't be anywhere near a top 5.

    Its not the goals thats impressed me.

    I was whinging after the City game (his 3rd game). However since the Everton away game is been consistently very good in every game.

    There's still quite a few more deserving players.

    What more could you ask for? I think Jones has 3 goals and 3 assists already, and he's only played about 5 games. And two were against man utd and arsenal, he would be in my top 5 <Ale>

    Fair enough, differing opinion.

    I missed out Cruz on my list as well btw.

    Erm

    I'm not saying he's a bad player, but £6m for a full back? That's a lot of potatoes. Strange to see him in that list as he has been steady, but not exactly pulling up trees. Better that Distin for £0 or Bellamy for £7m? Sidwell, Jagielka, Santa Cruz, Craig Gordon?

    Hang your head in shame.

    Better that Distin for £0 or Bellamy for £7m? defo so far he's been out injured already. Sidwell, defo wots he done he's not even played v regularly Jagielka he's been v poor , Santa Cruz, Craig Gordon both have done v well, should be in the list but i didn't create it, but to say sagna is not worthy of being in a best signings thread is daft, just cos most of yours the jury is still out on, no need to cry cos somebody else has found a quality one?

    Not sure, would go with Cruz due to how good he has been. But otherwise Viduka. Probably worth about 7 mill or so and they got him for free. Siberki and voronin i don't rate to be honest.
