jm1 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Shows how easy it is to gain folklore for something! I'd only heard this the other year - I always assumed he had gone for some crazy hermit caravan experience I read about it here. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2012/dec/07/joy-of-six-weird-football-stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Massimo Maccarone was pretty terrible He wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination but nowhere near one of the worst and was only kept out of the team by Viduka, Hasselbaink and Yakubu who all scored goals for fun. Scored a few important goals for Boro and had a fairly decent ratio of goals to games started tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 This thread has nothing to do with transfer fees. You never cleared up why Luque was a bad choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarkko Wiss Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Everton had some Chinese defender with over 100 caps who was dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Anyone mentioned Thomas Brolin? When he signed for Leeds each of his arse cheeks had a separate postcode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Because he was nowhere near the worst player the EPL has seen, which this thread is for. I hope this clears this up for you. He was absolutely appalling in virtually every one of his Newcastle appearances. Even people like Boumsong and Bramble had occasional bouts of competency but Luque was consistently worse than other joke figures like them. After his hamstring injury he never looked like a good player struggling for form, he simply looked like a poor footballer. It's pretty telling that he didn't do anything of note once he left. 1 league goal in 2 years speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shengus Khan Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Ex-Newcastle & Hibs Alan O'Brien is probably the worst EPL & SPL player I've ever seen. ETA: less than 10 appearances, mind. Slightly off topic but O'Brien is also the worst player I have ever seen in Scotland. He was absolutely fucking shite. Back in England I recall Liverpool signing a total diddy called Sean Dundee. I'm not sure if he played more than 10 games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I remember him as well.. signed from some German mob I think. Karlsruhe, I think. Liverpool went through a phase of buying shite strikers. Meier, Titi Camara, Voronin and that freebie from Anderlecht, Jovanovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Keeping in mind how much Middlesbrough paid for him at the time. He wasn't value for money for sure, but as Deeboy says the thread isn't really anything to do with transfer fees or else Torres and Andy Carroll would be up there despite clearly never being near being the worst. Maccarone really wasn't a bad player in all honesty, just wasn't as good as the three other goal machines that Boro had at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarkko Wiss Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Maccarone was massively influential in Middlesbrough's UEFA Cup Final run. Last minute winners and everything. Not a bad player at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
