What are our best and worst January transfers?

We won 3 games in the 2017/18 season directly because of Gestede goals or assists, he was injured for over half the season.

He contributed, for the money we paid he should have contributed far, far more, but large parts of the lack of impact are down to the fact he was incredibly injury prone.

He was clearly a big waste of money, and we should never have signed him, but Guedioura was a worse transfer.

£3.5m for absolutely no contribution whatsoever is worse to me.

I'd agree with this. I at least saw Gestede have some good games. I remember him looking great at Preston away during Woodgate's good run but he was massively impacted by injuries. Not going to argue it was a terrible signing but it was a sign of things to come that we were signing championship strikers when we were trying to stay in the PL.

Best Ramirez.

Worst has to be Guedioura.

Cost £3.5m, played less than 2 matches worth of minutes in a year and then had his contract ripped up in the next January window.

Gestede might have been *****, but he at least contributed.

Agree with this for our most recent period, Guedioura was even worse because we were expecting Bojan and Deulofeu to come in!

Hard to pick good signings in Janaury but I got a lot for worst in terms of impact and just actual quality:
Maxi Haas, Chris Killen, Lee Miller, Dong Gook, Aaron Connolly, Van La Parra, Marlon King

I wouldn't put Killen in with that lot. He did exactly what he was brought into do. A cheap option to lead the line temporarily.

Wasn't a world beater by any stretch but held the ball up, won his headers and chipped in with a few goals. He was fine for what he was.

£6m fee and 3.5 years on £40k per week.
£13m for 6 goals.
Shocker.
