What are our best and worst January transfers?

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