Daily Mail's 50 Worst Premiership Strikers
-
06-10-2009 8:06am#1They're doing 10 strikers every day this week. This is the first lot from Monday -
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1217725/THE-LIST-The-worst-strikers-played-Premier-League-Nos-50-41.htmlTHE LIST: The worst strikers to have played in the Premier League, Nos 50-41
50 Eric Meijer
After forming one of the most intimidating strike forces in the Bundesliga, the Dutchman bombed at Liverpool after moving in 1999. Such was his failure to make the grade at Anfield that Meijer was loaned out to Preston North End before eventually returning to Hamburg in December 2000. He did, though, make a lasting impact on the Liverpool faithful after famously drinking and singing with them in Dortmund prior to the 2001 Uefa Cup Final.
49 Darko Kovacevic
The Serb registered an astonishing 37 goals in just 47 games for Red Star Belgrade before moving to Sheffield Wednesday in 1996. His disastrous spell with the Owls lasted half a season before he moved onto Real Sociedad in Spain. From there he rediscovered his shooting boots and went on to thrive in La Liga and later in Serie A with Juventus.
48 Jon Stead
An Englishman with a burgeoning reputation for getting goals in the lower leagues, Stead moved from Huddersfield Town to Blackburn Rovers in 2004 but despite a promising start, he ultimately struggled with the step-up in class. In the years since he has become something of a journeyman playing for Sunderland, Derby, Sheffield U***d and Ipswich.
47 Mikkel Beck
The Dane's inability to score led to Middlesbrough being relegated from the Premier League in his first season with the club. Although he helped fire them back to the big time a year later, Beck once again failed to provide the goals in the top flight. He had loan spells at Nottingham Forest and QPR in a bid to rediscover his form before moving to Lille in 2000.
46 Georgios Samaras
A positive start to life at Manchester City counted little for Samaras, whose appearances came mostly for the bench. A woeful record was defended by Blues boss Stuart Pearce who insisted that, at 21, age was on the Greek's side. For all his backing, though, Pearce rarely started the front man and Samaras moved to Celtic in 2008.
45 Savio
The Ugandan born German arrived at Upton Park from Italian outfit Brescia with in a hail of publicity. Labelled one of Europe's most promising talents, and despite costing close to £10 million (a club record), Savio made just one start for West Ham and was moved on in the summer to Serie A side Fiorentina.
44 Christopher Wreh
Having played under Arsene Wenger at Monaco, Arsenal fans were excited by the prospect of the Liberian at Highbury. However, an explosive end to the 1997/98 season did little to help Wreh cement a place in the team. Thierry Henry's arrival spelt the end for Wreh and, after loan spells with AEK Athens and Den Bosc[/img]h, he slowly slipped down the League ladder before ending up in non-league.
43 Walter Pandiani
Steve Bruce is known for his shrewdness in the transfer market, and when Pandiani flourished on loan at Birmingham, the former U***d man thought he had picked up another gem. The player was duly signed on a permanent deal but never scaled the heights he had previously and jumped ship one year into the deal.
42 Andriy Voronin
Playing in the shadow of Fernando Torres was never going to be easy but Voronin stropped his way through a debut season at Anfield before moving on loan to Hertha Berlin. There he recaptured the form that had first alerted Rafa Benitez but since returning to Merseyside in the summer he has reverted to type and once again failed to make an impact.
41 Kevin Kyle
Kyle initially showed great promise by firing Sunderland up to the Premier league via the playoffs. However the Scot was injured for the majority of the initial top-flight season and his confidence ultimately took a knock. He scored just one goal in Sunderland's embarrassingly inept relegation season of 2006 before moving onto Coventry.
I'm expecting to see Marco Boogers very high up0

122 games, 30 goals for Southampton between 1991 and 1995 followed by 6 in 19 for Palace. Hardly disgraceful.
On the otherhand.....

Ah now, while he didnt turn into a World Player of the Year, Kennedy's done alright for himself.
Currently an integral part of the Ajax squad.

He had a trial at Bolton and they turned him away a few years back i thought (maybe I have him mixed up and have done him a massive disservice....) Denilson also had a trial with them too i think.0 -

Second list is up -
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1218267/THE-LIST-The-worst-strikers-played-Premier-League-Nos-40-31.html40 Mateja Kezman
What do you mean Chelsea threw loads of money at a striker and it didn't work out?
That has never happened before has it Sheva?
The club bought Kezman, a player who had shown great form in the Dutch Eredivisie but he failed to make the grade over here.
The former Serbia international (right) made just 14 starts in the Blue of Chelsea before disappearing out of the door.
39 Augustin Delgado
A remarkable story is the one of Southampton's Delgado - he managed to become a legend at Saint Mary's despite refusing to learn English and insisting on playing for Ecuador while injured.
His injury became chronic, his career went down the drain and he only managed 15 appearances and two goals in three years.
38 Rolando Bianchi
Back in the days before Manchester City had loads of money they would spend ... erm ... loads of money.
Whereas now they spend it on world-class talent such as Robinho and Carlos Tevez, they used to spend it on players such as Bianchi (right).
Just shy of £9million took him from Reggina but he was back on the plane home just six months later after Sven Goran Eriksson's attentions turned elsewhere.
37 Martin Dahlin
So good against England at the European Championships in 1992 (wasn't everyone during that era) but a thorough let-down on his arrival at Blackburn.
A training-ground injury meant the former Sweden international made just 29 appearances and found the six times for Rovers.
36 Gerald Sibon
There are some revisionists who believe that Sibon's time at Sheffield Wednesday wasn't as bad as people seem to remember.
He scored goals, yes, but they were at a frustratingly slow rate of one every four games - and he cost a fortune too.
A clearly talented player but his inability to shine on a regular basis was enough to render his time at Hillsborough a failure.
35 David Nugent
A 100 per cent scoring rate for England. But you're not going to get away with that argument - it was Jermain Defoe's goal he pinched on the line against Andorra.
CHEEKY, CHEEKY, CHEEKY - WATCH THE VIDEO
Granted, he did well at Preston but, when put in front of decent opposition while at Portsmouth on a regular basis, his disintegration spoke volumes.
However, there is a glimmer of hope for Nugent who now has the chance of retribution at Burnley.
34 Jon Dahl Tomasson
What makes Tomasson a very, very annoying player is that he was brilliant for every other team he played for ... so what went wrong at Newcastle?
It's generally accepted that, despite having plenty of skill, he wasn't strong enough to prosper with all the nasty big bullies in the Premier League (do they not have a gym at St James' Park?) and so, after just one year, 34 appearances and four goals, he slipped off to Feyenoord.
33 Andreas Andersson
You may notice that there's quite a few Newcastle names in this list, the reason being they have a habit of buying shocking players.
Disliked by Magpies faithful, the only thing that saves Jon Dahl Tomasson from being further up this list is Andersson.
A couple of million was spent on a player that made 33 appearances and scored a measly four goals - not great business in anybody's book.
32 Andreas Lund
Wimbledon were in the final throes of the dream they had been living for 14 top-flight years when Egil Olsen spent £2.5m on the man from Molde.
In a year with the Dons he managed to impress no one.
What is remarkable is that Lund (right) won eight international caps for Norway.
31 Helder Postiga
The frustrating thing for Tottenham fans is that they have had the money but could never attract the classy players, not like their rivals Arsenal, anyway.
Supporters thought all that had changed when Postiga arrived but two one-on-one misses, in the space of about 15 minutes, against said rivals meant the Portuguese was thrown on to the ever-growing pile of strikers marked 'rubbish' at White Hart Lane.
Two goals in 24 games cost Spurs £6.25m. Nice.
Harsh on Jon-Dahl imo. He was very young at Newcastle.0 -
