[Forest Jonny]

This is much harder than I orignally thought!

 

[Jaybo.]

Andy Cole's gotta be up there with the worst surely?

 

[Daniel]

3 Best

McKenna
Gunter
Evans

3 Worst

Sonner
Dadi
Aaron Davies

 

[winnits]

Worst:
Daryl Powell
Eugene Dadi
and one from either Gino Padula, Danny Sonner, Andrew Cole or Neil Lennon

Best - really difficult. Three isn't enough 8)

 

[winnits]

Hmm. Would maybe consider Marlon King in the worst bracket too. If we're factoring in 'cash factor'

 

[Kier]

Best:

Robert Earnshaw
Chris Cohen
Paul Anderson

Honourable mentions to: Camp, Gerrard, Walker, McKenna, Majewski, Tyson, Southall, Blackstock, Garner.

Worst:

Scott Dobie
Eugene Dadi
Darryl Powell

Dishonourable mentions to Eaden, Padula, Vaughan, Impey, Rogers, Sonner, Gary Holt, Lennon, Friio, Cole, King and Harris.

 

[dellaroc]

Tony Vaughn is a good shout. All the mobility of a glacier.

 

[Kier]

Tony Vaughn is a good shout. I've seen more mobile glaciers.

Apparantly he's a salesman for Audi in Lincoln now!

 

[kezz]

Best:
Mckenna,
Ando,
Southall,

Honourable mentions- Commons, Gerrard, Cohen, Evans, Johnson, Earnshaw, Tyson, Agogo.

Worst:
Powell,
Dadi,
Padula

 

[Carvel]

If we factor in money spent and how good they were while they were here then for me its

Best; Cohen, Southall, Evans/McKenna

Worst; Dobie, Nowland, King ( Those 3 nearly cost £2m all together I think. Compared to the above 3, if we choose Evans over McKenna, costing £225,000 !!)

 

[Tutts]

Best:

Blake
McKenna
Walker

Worst:
Dadi
King
Cole


There were worse players for us than Marlon II but they didn't cost over a million.

 

[Kier]

I forgot to mention the awful Danny Cullip; thinking about his performance at Oldham on New Years Day 2007 makes me shudder.

Earnshaw, McKenna and Camp the best for me, that they've all come recently says a lot. I'm more focusing on what we can see from them in the future than what we've seen so far but even based on that, quality and consistency wise you've got the spine of a great Forest team there, what with, say, Morgan being home grown... and a somewhat late bloomer.

We've had many other bargains though, Tyson, Evans, Cohen... and with everyone incumbent down to Kelvin and Dele looking like bargains in recent years it's hard to see many that came before in a similar light.

The shit, then... in Forest terms, Commons, Rogers and King - all talent pissers, graft-avoiders, badge kissers and salary whores alike, if they aren't working their way through the EU pie mountain they're beating up fit girls because they have a god complex. Even the really w**k players seemed at the time to be at least trying as hard as their colleagues, hapless though they may have been. In pure footballing terms Dadi, Sonner and Powell were all worse than I'd have been were I playing instead.

 

[Marshall.]

Scott Dobie - Worst signing ever!

 

[Nick.]

From What I've seen:

Best;
Earnshaw
McKenna
Paul Evans

Others like; Cohen, Nicky Southall, Dexter Blackstock, Paul Gerrard, Walker and Camp.

Worse;
Dadi
Harris
Dobie

Also others what could of been added; Gino Padula, Danny Sonner, Darryl Powell..

Are you serious about Evans? He hasd a good first couple of games, then was utter shit the next season.

 

[redwood]

What about Marlon King's mate from Gillingham, whose name I can't for the life of me remember.

Also, I wouldn't say Evans was one of the top three but he was an utter bargain, and I won't hear a bad word said about him.

Whoah, Paul Evans, Whoah
He always wins the Ball
He didn't cost f*** All
Whoah, Paul Evans, Whoah

Kevin James from Gillingham, handed a 3 year contract and played about 2 times. Awful player, I had completely forgotten about him as well.

My flat mate in my first year of uni. was his second cousin, she offered to get me his autograph, which I politely declined lol

 

[winnits]

God yeah, I'd forgotten about him. He was really quick, and rubbish! Did I imagine him running into a goalpost?

 

[Kier]

That incident rings a bell with me, couldn't say which game it was though.

 

[windmill]

God yeah, I'd forgotten about him. He was really quick, and rubbish! Did I imagine him running into a goalpost?

He ran the show against Spurs in a pre-season, can't say i remember any outings after that one.

 

[winnits]

That's right, he did raise a lot of hopes that preseason!

 

[NFFC1989]

Best

Paul Mckenna
Paul Gerrard
Lee Camp

Closely followed by..... Raddy,Earnie, Gunts,Moussi,Evans,Jonno!

Worst

Dadi
Harris
Dobie

Did Marcus Hall play for us this decade? He was hardly worth the effort! haha

 

[Loughborough_red]

Just looking at some of the players in the worst column just reminds me what a thoroughly shit decade we've had!
