Who was the worst transfer this season? Mudryk or Richarlison or someone else tops them?

For arsenal, Vieira looked pretty poor almost every time he played (to the best of my memory) but he's still young and might be able to improve enough to take up the Xhaka role, and €35m isn't like a massive fee anymore

Does Lampard count as a transfer?

Leeds setting their club record transfer fee in the January window while they were in a relegation fight on a 20 year old striker that did gently caress all was a pretty terrible transfer

He also has a terrible David Brent goatee, and I feel like having bad hair of any kind is totally unacceptable for a footballer supposedly at Premier League level.

richarlison had a poo poo season but he also had to deal with injuries and being a striker in a team which no longer knows how to play with a striker who isn't also doing the work of an attacking midfielder, in addition to having a coach who had absolutely no interest in being there

i probably wouldn't defend him this much if he wasn't one of the few brazilian footballers who isn't a bolsanarist dickhead

Richarlison has a tattoo of his own face on his back, clubs should sell players immediately when that happens

Yeah the owner who predicted his team of dipshit fuckups managed by Frank LLLLLLLampard would beat Real Madrid 3-0 in the Bernabeu is going to be content with just balancing the books and riding things out. They're going to spend £400 million and sack 4 managers next year.

Yeah of course it won’t happen lmao, Chelsea are going to keep on being hilarious.

antony was a pretty bad signing

we definitely overpaid for him, since we basically strip-mined the best ajax team in years to the point where they finished third in the eredivisie this season

but he also scored goals (the plural of goal) this year, which puts him ahead of mudryk, rutter and richarlison

There are a lot of bad signings this year but the funniest bad signing was Arthur Melo because he was brought in on loan to shore up Liverpool's empty midfield at a cost of €4.5 million and then played a total of 13 minutes of first team football in one match that we lost 4-1.

There were 7 players on loan with options to buy (Kulusevski, McKennie, Zakaria, Arthur, Luca Pellegrini, Marco Pjaca, and Filippo Ranocchia) and only one (Kulusevski) might have the permanent option triggered.

I’d like to nominate Martin Dúbravka for funniest for going on loan at Manchester United for the first half of the season but only playing twice in the Carabao Cup. He then terminated his loan in January to go back to Newcastle where he was cup-tied for the Carabao Cup Final against Manchester United and wasn’t eligible to play with Nick Pope suspended

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Les Sealey, Man United's backup keeper from the early 90s posted:

United beat Norwich 3-1 in April 1993, to go one point behind leaders Villa, but Paul Ince had missed chance to play in Eric Cantona
As the players clatter down the corridor and into the away dressing room, Ferguson is waiting by the door. As each red shirt comes in, he pats them on the shoulder. Then Paul comes in, and Ferguson turns to him: “I’m disappointed in you, Ince. When the gently caress are you going to learn to look up when you’re on a run?”

Given that he’s been involved in one of the goals of Manchester United’s season, Paul looks like he’s just been slapped. He lunges for his manager, who stands his ground. The dressing room is divided by a treatment table. On one side of it, Paul is being held back by four of his team-mates screaming: “If that’s what you think, why don’t you sell me, you c---? Go on then, f------ sell me. You haven’t got the f------ bottle, have you?”

On the other side, Ferguson is standing bolt upright, gripping the table, refusing to take a step back. They glare at each other, two bulls fighting for control of the herd. Nobody moves. Second by imperceptible second, the crisis starts to deflate. Steve Bruce says: “Can I remind everyone in this room that we have just beaten Norwich 3–1?” Paul sits down. The manager leaves to give his press conference.

A few days later, Ferguson is sitting in his office at the Cliff [training ground] when he sees the barrel of a rifle poking through the gap in the door, which slowly swings open. There, pointing a double-barrelled shotgun straight at Ferguson’s chest, is Paul. They look straight into each other’s eyes.

“Don’t worry, gaffer,” Paul smiles. “It’s not loaded.”

I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
I went to Richarlison's Wikipedia page and was prepared to continue hating him but

quote:

Richarlison donates 10% of his salary to the Instituto Padre Roberto Lettieri, a home for cancer patients in Barretos, São Paulo state, and also supports 100 families in his hometown.[54] In November 2021, he called for his fellow professional footballers to take COVID-19 vaccines and ignore misinformation on the topic, citing the death of his first coach Sebastião José da Silva.[55] Though he did not endorse any candidate or party in the 2022 Brazilian general election,[56] he spoke out on social justice issues such as the environment, police violence and human rights.[57]

As far as Brazilian footballers are concerned he's a fuckin saint

You should hear my accent.
Richarlison strikes me very much as a guy you hate when he's on the other team and you love when he's on your side. He really buys into the fan culture and rivalries of each place he has been to and I don't think I've ever seen him put in a performance where he wasn't putting in full effort.

And you guys should love him because he was having a ton of fun trolling Liverpool fans after last year's European Cup defeat.
