Right, now he's gone, and most have us have had our say....there's no doubting Butcher (or Marsella) made some great signings, and some awful ones.

 

Best...McKay springs immediately to mind, or Warren, but for me the best was Johnny Hayes. Great player, shame he hadn't hung around a bit longer.

 

Worst...quite a few to choose from, but by far the worst for me was Gil Blumstein(??). Saw him a couple of times and he was mince!

I think Josh Meekings is up there with the best, not sure about the worst 

Best: Hayes

Worst: Stratford

Best-Hayes, A Shinnie, Lee Cox, Warren, McKay, Roguero

Worst Blumenstein Roberts

Hayes Andy Shinnie Billy Mckay are best.

Worst and by a country mile imo Claude Gnapka

Best:  Signing for ICT

Worst:  Signing for Hibs

Best; Meekings

Worst; Gnapka.

Best: Hayes, Meekings, Warren, McKay, Andy Shinnie, Draper, OTJ (the J stands for Judas)

 

Worst: Tade, Gnapka, Eagle, Stratford

 

Kind of think Roberts wasn't as bad as everyone made out considering how young he was. Considering he was playing regularly in the first team and he couldn't have been much older than some of our youth players (who I would have rather have seen on the pitch rather than a loanee).

Best: McKay - nothing harder than scoring regularly as a marked man

 

Worst: let's be honest, there's a few

Best: Foran

Worst: Blackman

Andre Martins was a strange one, whilst Jason Oswell was another waste of a squad number.

Foran

Aldred

The best gems he's found are definetely A Shinnie and McKay but I dunno about the worst.

Best: Mckay, Hayes, A Shinnie, Warren

Worst; Gnapka, Blumenshtein, not signing GMS

Best:  Signing for ICT

Worst:  Signing for Hibs

Wrong way round !!

Best by a country mile Richie Foran and Marsalla, followed by Draper, Meekings, Warren, Doran, Hayes and Mckay. Also early signs of Tremarco and Watkins

 

Worst Stratford, Gnapka, Blumenstein, Aldred or Blackman. There has been a few really, but we remember the good signings better. 

How could I forget Foran, definitely one of his best signings. One of a diminishing group of players in the game today that would and probably could run through a brick wall for the team

Best

mackay foran marsella

worst

phil roberts

Phil Roberts gets such a bad press due mainly to his missed penalty at Easter Road.

 

However, I urge you to check out the goal he scored a couple of weeks ago. For those who haven't seen it, he picked the ball up on the left touchline - no threat apparent, but he cuts across the park and unleashes a screamer! It's here, uploaded by RiG.

Foran

Aldred

 

Yes, I'll change Blackman to Aldred.

Still think Foran is the best signing.

Best:  Foran  (I'd go as far as saying he's a contender for the clubs best ever signing.  But that's another debate).

Worst:  Aldred.  By a country mile!!!

Remember the end of season doo on the pitch when we won the 1st division? Butcher welcomed each of the players onto the park, highlighting the way each had contributed to the campaign - goals, etc. until it came to... "Here's Dan Stratford - he's a great guy"

Foran, Hayes, Warren, Shinniesta and McKay are my top 5. 

 

Stratford, Aldred, Gnakpa, Eagle, and Tade are the 5 worst. 

Best : Foran, Hayes, A.Shinnie, Warren, McKay, Meekings, Doran, Draper. Yeah, that's a lot !

Worst : Gnapka.

Best : Foran, Hayes, A.Shinnie, Warren, McKay, Meekings, Doran, Draper. Yeah, that's a lot !

Worst : Gnapka.

Gnapka was class person he just didn't get enough time playing
