I didn't get the fuss over Baines when we signed him. Especially for £6m. We had Lescott at left back already!
 

Recently ... I'd given up on Kone ever getting fit

Going further back ... I thought Ratcliffe was awful. Then he moved into the middle and the rest, as they say, is history.
 

I'll go on recent signings, liked McCarthy and Cleverly signings. I already knew McGeady was crap.

Garth Barry signing made me scratch my head, he has proved me wrong.
 
Going back, I would have to say Marcus Bent.
Weird one I know, but understand the circumstances. Rooney was on his way out, we were expecting a fair bit of money and instead of blistering out a few million on someone half decent - we sign Marcus Bent.
He was cracking in that 2004/05 side, worked his socks off and made a lot of room for the likes of Cahill to exploit.
Got to say that still remains a sore one for me, I'm sure the conversation went:
"Boss, boss there's this great young forward at Ipswich called Bent I think we can get him cheap". Moyes :" Ok I'll give them a call". Later : " Sorted, got him cheap Marcus Bent joins us next week"
"Error, boss I meant DARREN Bent"
 
I thought McGeady would do better than he has. I don't quite know what has gone so terribly wrong.

I still think that he can provide the occasional glimpse of magic that can turn a game but we just didn't see it often enough.
