LiquidAK Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Has to be Luque. Owen at least made SOME contribution, and in spots actually looked like a good purchase. Luque looked like a waste from almost day one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Luque. Not all his fault, but he cost us alot, did nothing for us, and we retrieved no money in return for him. It's no contest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Owen. He's obviously a decent player, and had quite a good goal/game ratio here, but £16mil, £100 000 a week for loads of injuries, culminating in relegation. I loved Duncan Ferguson. And didn't Emre only cost £3.5mil? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 £3.8m to be pedantic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Luque has to take the crown. Although Silvio Maric deserves a place on the list ahead of Viana. I thought about Maric, was he pricey like? no, 3.5m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Luque but to be fair he wasn't given a proper chance with the team.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I define waste as being given the opportunity but not doing enough relative to price tage + salary. Result = Owen by a country mile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Alan Smith is a very good shout. £6m and probably £50k a week for a defensive Championship midfielder? Wow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delima Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Owen, Michael - 2005 £16M, 70app 26g Ferguson, Duncan - 1998 £7M, 30app 8g Luque, Albert - 2005 £9.5M, 21app 1g Boumsong, Jean-Alain - 2005 £8M, 47app 0g Marcelino, Elena - 1999 £6.7M, 17app 0g Objectively, Michael Owen contributes significantly more, pound by pound, compared to Duncan Ferguson or Albert Luque. And in football finance £16M in 2005 probably equals to £7M in 1998. Duncan Ferguson contributes more than Elena Marcelino. In conclusion, Elena Marcelino is the biggest waste of money.

NG32 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 What about Andreas Andersson!! Awesome, this man could have the ball at his feet in front of goal, fall over, ball hits his head rolls back over hits his heel then goes in the net. The blonde bomber rocked.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hardly scored for us, but managed goals at Anfield, Stamford Bridge & Old Trafford. We can't say that about many of our strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Alan Smith is a very good shout. £6m and probably £50k a week for a defensive Championship midfielder? Wow. No it isn't at all, no where NEAR being the biggest waste of money, especially considering he's doing alright now. Yeah we overpaid and still are paying him too much, but nothing compared to Luque and Owen as far as being a waste goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Smith literally offered nothing for two years. If he'd contributed last season, we mightn't be where we are now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 However he's still making a contribution now, Luque never did. Plus he cost less, plus I'm willing to bet he's on a lower wage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 He's making a contribution now because he's found his level...which isn't as a £6m £50k a week footballer. I'm sure all of the players on that list would have contributed at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
