      Can't believe Kagawa was mentioned, he's been injured a little bit this season, but he has got some good quality.

      Best - Mirallas, Van Persie, Michu, Lukaku, Moses, Cazorla, Coutinho, Diame, Benteke, Cesar

      Worst - Ji Sung, Adam & Andrew Johnson, Bosingwa, Marin, Maicon, Owen (definitely- waste of time and money)

      Over the whole season Benteke wins hands down IMO. January Signings Coutinho wins hands down.

      Worst, so many to choose from and we have a couple of contenders but Owen, Rodwell, Marin and I would say Scott Sinclair but we all knew he was never going to play anyway, he just wanted to boost his bank balance. Worst from January signings i'd go for Azpilicueta.

      Not January. Not worst. He's been ok for them.

      Best signings would be Benteke and Michu clearly. Coutinho from January.

      Worst would be Scott Sinclair, Chris Samba and well half the Qpr side.

      Nope signed in August. And he's had a better second half of the season than Johnson has for us.

      most of the QPR squad bought by that genius Mark Hughes has he ever bought a decent player.
      Coutinho and Sturridge could go on to play for us for a long time just have this little niggle about Sturridges attitude.

      Rodwell, Adebayor, Marin, Graham, Samba are all in line for the worst signing.

      Michu runs away with it in terms of value for money for best signing.

      Shows how much of an impact he made then if he signed in August

      6 assists for Chelsea, 1 more than Johnson and played 8 games less. I'd say that's a pretty decent impact.

      I guess Kompany & Zabaleta don't count at city. These were his purchase's, don't they count?

      Well sorry, didn't know you were such a devoted fan of his. Failed to mention that Johnson managed a goal more than Azpilcueta though  :roll:

      Also he is a defender and he hardly stood out defensively.

      Not a fan. Just pointing out that he has been a relatively successful signing for Chelsea that's all. Also he's a fullback who's role is to support attack from the wing as well as defend.

      Best...Benteke, Coutinho, Michu.

      Worst...Samba because of his huge wages mostly. Allen because he cost us 15million.

      Hate to say it but it's RVP for me in terms of best signing... Worst has to be a toss up between anyone Mark Hughes signed for any form of money

      Agree with a lot that have been posted a few others I throw into the hat.

      Best - Diame, Foster, Fletcher, Snodgrass, Mirallas, Pienaar, Lowton, Cazorla, Kone.

      Worst - Sahin, Sinclair, Park Ji-Sung, Bosingwa, Pogrebnyak, Owen, Graham, Chamakh.

      RVP was 20m while Phillipe Coutinho was 12m, value wise our man walks it, entirely different skill application of course and as far as potential goes and honing that skill again the choice is clear.
