Votes for Worst Buy of The Season So Far?

[Leo No.8]

My vote would have to go to Khalid Boulharouz.

 

With all that vast wealth at their disposal, Chelsea opt to go out and buy that tw*t. Brilliant - a few more like that Jose and we'll all be back in with a chance.

 

He's slow, clumsy and looks like one of the in between versions on those charts which show man evolving from apes. He looks like he should be wielding a club and chasing sabre tooth tigers. Keane dumping him on his a*** in the run-up to the second Spurs goal was absolutely hilarious yesterday. 'Khalid the cannibal' - more like 'Khalid the c*nt'.

 

Tevez and Maschareno would have to get a mention as well - managed to make West Ham crap on their arrival, who then promptly win a couple when they leave them out again. The funny thing is they're both brilliant footballers, just shows signing BIg NAmeZ doesn't always work...

By a distance

and in any season.

 

 

Anyone listen to Fighting Talk on saturday morning?

 

Anelka compared to an exercise bike

 

You buy it with the best of intentions before realising very shortly it was a mistake, you wont use it and leave it in the garage before trying to offload it on the cheap to some other eejit (or words to that effect)

[Guest RedDwarf]

It's gotta be Chavchenko schurely?

[Falconhoof]

Boulharouz has been decent so far apart from last nights game against Spurs.

 

 

Anelka.

 

Possibly Obafemi Martins, mainly because of the absurd claim that he was their main target all along and they never wanted Kuyt.

[Guest The Defender]

For someone who hasn't looked anything like the player he is... sheva by a mile.

Every time I've seen Boulharouz (3 or 4 times) he's looked awful. Rafa played Gerrard out of position just so he'd be up against the lumbering oaf, but unfortunately he missed a couple of good chances after making a fool of him.

 

As for Martins, Glenn Roeder says 'he always wanted the pace' rather than Kuyt. Right Glenn, you keep telling yourself that.

[Benitez]

Boulharouz never looks decent at right back. Is he a better central defender or summet? Cos he's an awful right back.

[Stevie H]

anelka.

 

corradi, martins, woodgate and berbatov close behind.

[Falconhoof]

I don't think Bouhlarouz is awful. I think this is the same sort of wishful thinking that had Vidic down as the worst defender in the world after a bad game.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

Martins, Anelka and sheva do look like they outstanding candidates.

 

Boulharouz looks worse when you consider he is Gallas' replacement though.

[Cunny]

forum lore though, we can pass jusgement after watching a couple of minutes of highlights on other teams' players.

 

the stick Vidic got on here was frankly laughable

it he'd been in an LFC shirt he'd be lauded as a great Rafa buy.

 

I'm not saying Boulahrouz is Beckanbauer but he's far from s***.

Granted he was poor yesterday.

Ferriera - now there's s**** and expensive s**** at that.

[Guest Sabre]

Boulahrouz is a c**k but he is a much better centre back than a right back. Anyone that puts the 9 on their shirt when they're a defender deserves a t***ting.

[Leo No.8]

Some people seem to be assuming I've only seen a few highlights of Boulharouz, when I've seen him play for both Chelsea and Holland a good number of times.

 

I thought he looked like a donkey in The World Cup in all honesty - I was amazed when they signed him in the first place and nothing I've seen from him so far contradicts that view.

 

He's passable at centre-half where he doesn't get so exposed but he won't often play there at Chelsea with the berths being occupied by the excellent Carvalho and Terry, neither of whom need much resting. At right-back his lack of pace makes him beatable in embarrassingly easy fashion therefore a shocking choice of buy with Abramovic's billions to call upon.

I would say Shevchenko at £35m but his arrival has certainly had some value in how it's freed up drogba more

speak for yourself.

 

I'm going on the games I've seen him play at right back, which is where he seems to play for Chelsea.

 

Maybe he's a better centre back eh.

Think Berbatov has done alright to be honest. Seems to be forging a good partnership with Keane and has a few goals to his name already.

 

Baptista anyone?

i'm talking more about Vidic than Boulahrouz

[Gunga Din]

schevchenko. £30mil and he has been w***

Can we stone you to death now? I'm busy Sunday evening

[McBain]

Berbatov's been excellent when he's played. He's just a bit injury prone
