We've signed some poor players in our time but for me the worst signing ever was Ben Thatcher - most despicable player I've had the misfortune to watch. I can forgive ineptitude but not thuggery.
The Golden Triangle: Faye, Diawara and Traore - couldn't put a hair between them and they basically epitomise the reason we fell so hard so fast, we wasted millions on players who didn't deliver - and were never likely to.
That summer madness of 2006 post-Curbs when we let Mr. Incredible loose with the cheque book ended up costing this club a huge amount of time, money and pride and plenty of good people lost their jobs because of it.
Fifteen years hard work down the toilet because of one man's idiotic buys, thanks Dowie.

decent summary - the man can hardly string a sentence together, let alone run a football team.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Remember looking on the Newcastle and Liverpool message boards at the time re Faye and Traore. "Can't believe someone paid money for him" was the general theme. Celebrated the news of Dowie's departure like a last minute winner in the cup final.
Diawarra was a cracking player, bit unfair for him to be in this list....as for the others, all gash. Id add Rommendahl, must have cost us a small fortune in wages and he didnt perform generally. I'd add Andy Jones too
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink - on massive wages, no mobility, past it, blocked youth development, terrible attitude and always complaining. The start of the madness, where the club threw its money away.

I hate Hasselbaink. I saw him in a gym and he was really rude too. Can't stand him

I didn't like Neil Redfearn much.

Redfearn was disappointing as was rommedahl, and Jeffers, and Bradley Allen.
And Simon Francis
And Alan McCormack
In fact other than powells signings there have been some stinkers over the last 6/7 years
