robins72 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 A Tinnion signing? Stoopid me yes of course! Was thinking of worst signings. Then I would say Yoga and Sankofa were both poor loan signings!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Dan Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 It depends on how you are judging it. Some of his early loan signings were truly terrible players but they were signed purely to give existing players a kick up the backside and demonstrate that Johnson values determination and workrate above all else. Once the existing bunch had either got the message or moved on those players were no longer needed. Best loan signing was Fontaine. Worst (ability-wise) was Youga. Best permanent signing was Basso. Worst was probably Betsy although he did contribute to the promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPLEY RED Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Bas Savage has to rate as one of the worst but was he a loan or perm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrebel Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 For the money paid then Maynard has to be the worst permanent signing at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(over doubled his worth) Worst permanent signing = Betsy, Lee Johnson Out of interest; Why is John the "worst" signing GJ has made on loan? Same for Lee Johnson, except permanent? GJ Worst loan = Kelly Younga; bad attitude, bad football, bad signing all-told really. GJ Best loan = David Noble; yes, he signed properly a month or two later, but he was proof GJ and his bro could pick up gems from the lower leagues early doors.

Because i think GJ bought John here on loan with a view for a perm but he has been very poor i think, fair enough he has scored 2 goals but i think he has been poor and looking uninterested. Well fair enough he has helped with the promotion but i don't rate him as a player and believe he is blocking others (Noble and Williams) from having a go but i don't want this to turn into a Lee Johnson thread.

Ignoring Lee Johnson then (I disagree but also don't want to this to be a LJ thread); what about John has been "poor"? His strike rate is actually 1-in-4 (8 games (4 starts, 4 sub), 2 goals), better than all our other strikers. Add to this he has an assist (Watford for Maynard, which incidentally makes him responsible for our last two goals) and won a last minute pen versus Forest. I don't know what people expected from John when he arrived but his stats over his first few games for us are similar to another striker who a lot of people think should be introduced back into the side now (Lee Trundle's stats over his first 8 league games = 2 goals, 2 assists and that was with more minutes on the pitch than John has had). I'd give him at least until the window; he's only just settling into playing with the team and more specifically Maynard. We'll see more from him. He is certainly not the "worst" loan by GJ; that's just short-sighted, knee-jerk lunacy; something a fair few on here seem to be indulging in a hell of a lot recently unfortunately.
