Much more competitive, look at the list!
Keiron Dyer - 7 minutes to pick up a season ending injury
Jay Bothroyd - missed multiple sitters when we were playing well, so poor despite some decent build up play and a couple of goals.
DJ Campbell - managed to miss a couple of sitters and score 1 goal in between lenghty spells injured. Overall poor.
Bruno Perone - League two standard defender, but i'm starting to wonder if we would actually have done worse had we played him?
Cisse - idiot, 2 straight red cards means he has effectively missed 9 games
Diakite - liability until he learns to tackle, too little time to adjust
Zamora - done OK, but isolated and not much goal threat (playacting on Sat embarassing too)
SWP - how many shots for 0 goals now? Dreadful.
Barton - Well covered. very disappointing and has been getting steadily worse, dire set piece delivery has cost us.
Onouha - looks a bit hapless, playing reserve team football for 6 months has left him a shadow of his former self
Ferfinand - looked OK until the Terry incident and his injury, another one who is steadily getting worse
Young - done OK, better attacking than defending.
Traore - see Young
Taiwo - See Traore
Gabbiddon - sick note
Macheda - couldn't trap a bag of cement and actually worse than the lot listed above.
For me it's between SWP (how many promising attacking moved died as soon as he recieved the ball?) and Cisse (2 red cards which put the final nail in our season's coffin).
Special mention for Dyer being amusingly and predictably breakable - but at least he was free and on a pay-as-you-play (or don't in his case). |  | | |  |

Zamora a bit unfair as his job was to act as the foil for Cisse. Not his fault Cisse got sent off twice.
Cisse is actually a good player, compared to others on that list, it's just the red cards that have let him and us down.
Dyer lasted 4 minutes I think!
My award would be joint winners for Barton & SWP. I know an awful lot has been said about them and that probably says a lot. Forget salaries, etc, neither of them have produced. They've actually been responsible for conceding more goals than setting up for team mates.

My Word!... What an unbelievably difficult decision?!?!?
For me it between Dyer, Macheda, SWP and Cisse, but all for different reasons, (which makes it even more comical!).
Might have to wait til the season ends before a final decision. |  | | |

My word. What a lovely group of young men.
Maybe we should push the boat out and make it a group award? We could probably do two whole seperate worst XIs for this season!! |  |

Hughes. Chortle.
Cisse is the worst signing we've ever made in my opinion. Giving Dowie and Hateley a good run for their money before scything them down and getting them sent off. If we signed him in the summer we'd have got some value but missing 7 and ruining 2 just takes the p1ss.
Perone at Wigan was possibly the worst I've ever seen any defender play and I've seen Karl Ready live for most of his QPR career.
But how do I leave out Barton? He's not just gash but unlikeable too. At least Marlon King gets you goals. Also had a real effect on Taarabt I think and was also responsible for getting sent off at a critical time.
Cisse: least value for money
Perone: least ability
Barton: most actively damaging
That said Bothroyd is utter gash but he'll be good next year in the Championship. I like Gabbidon when he plays. Young, Traore, SWP at least show potential.

I would agree with most but I'd take Campbell out as he didn't have an injury free run to show us anything. He didn't score 15 goals in this league last year by luck.
On the few occasions he played granted he missed a couple but was that rustiness ? Even the bit he played his movement off the ball and getting into the 6 yard box was good. IMHO of course
I think the worst for failing to live up to expectation has to be Joey though.

Barton - to me it has always looked like we were the only offer on the table. Didn't really want to come, held out as long as possible for something bettter which never materialised so took us for mugs.
SWP - Abysmal signing of a player who is not even any longer good enough for the division below, let alone the Premier IMHO. Total liability on the pitch which meant we were effectively playing with ten men. One look at his previous record where he was always on the bench for previous teams and you should be asking why that was. Continually chosen to start by Warnock - unsurprisingly as very few managers will drop their own signings as it's an admission of a mistake. A mystery why Hughes persisted with him so long which is a worry more about Hughes than SWP.
Ferdinand - Never good enough fro the PL and not surprisingly has proven to be a poor defender.
Onouha - Needs to put a lot of work in, at the moment nowhere near PL level.
Cisse - Ability but no brain.
Zamora - Fulham happy to let go - why?
Young - Best days behind him.
The rest of them, as well as the above, were all players their Clubs were happy to get shot of, and nobody else appeared to want. You have to ask why? Hardly a surprise then that they have failed to perform.

didnt warnock do his nut about campbells injury being down to the pouncy soft shoes he wore while playing same could be said of dyers
for me it has to be barton he was our bug signing and captain he's suposed to set and lead by example and that all went out the window v norwich and for me its from that point things just went to pot
that said hardly any of them have a right to hold their heads up high |  |

Brilliant rebuttal to Joey's twitter attempts to prove his quality using stats from Football 365:
Joey And Self-Manipulation
Joseph chose to take the stat 'fiends' head on.
He twitted: '915 successful against 357 unsuccessful. So 1263, so its basically 9/12ths which is around 75% successful. Not bad in a struggling team....In the most competitive league on the planet. Not bad for a average player. Enough stats from me, off to read comics and pop some zits.'
If we are to take the guise of an onanistic number-cruncher, we would point out that, in the wider scheme of things a pass completion rate of 73.% is actually quite rubbish. According to WhoScored.com, the midfielder with the worst success rate in the Premier League is Rory Delap, with 68.2%. Above Joey in the pass completion stakes are such tiki-taka-ing midfield colossi as David Edwards, Darren Pratley, Nenad Milijas, Jamie O'Hara, James McArthur, Mohamed Diame, Jordi Gomez, Ben Watson and Karl Henry. All of those players, as you will no doubt have noticed, play for teams below QPR in the league.
Alas, if we could pause from enthusiastically ransacking our dignity for a second, it seems Joey doesn't even stack up against his own teammates - the only midfielder below him in the passing accuracy stats at QPR is Kieron Dyer, and he doesn't really count as he didn't even attempt any passes in the seven minutes he's played this season.
So, in summary Joseph, Mediawatch suggests you either ignore the stats, or avoid claiming you're 'not bad in a struggling team.'

The Scouse king of tweeting is certainly the most annoying signing of the season, but he is not the worst.
Dyer was the most pointless signing. Why sign a work shy sick note?
The worst of a bad bunch for me has to be Macheda. A tool of all tools if ever there was one. |  |
| There aint half been some clever bastards. |

| Never mind best player - who is our worst signing of the season? on 14:25 - Mar 26 with 730 views | QPR_ARG |
It's a no contest for me: SWP.
Dyer was unlucky and was signed on a free and paid based on appearances (if I'm not mistaken).
Macheda? Was just a loan. Didn't play that much to qualify here and was signed by a manager that was sacked a few days after his arrival.
Cissé could have been in with a chance at winning this but he at least gave us 1 point (vs. Liverpool) on the way to winning all three with Jamie's goal.
The only time SWP had a direct influence on a QPR result was at Arsenal. When he handed them with a golden chance to score. Which, unfortunately, they did.
I don't ask of players to singlehandedly win football matches for us, but if you don't do that, SWP, then at least try not to win it for the opposition!
SWP gets this "award" from me because of all those signings he was the one who spent the most time out there playing/damaging our chances. |  | | |

What a great post an highlighs brilliantly what an complete let down almost all of our signings have been. It is incredible as they are some supposedly really good players on this list. I am mystified as to how many of them could do so badly. It going to hurt when some of them leave and do well elsewhere. |  | | |

It might be worth pointing out at this stage that most of the players listed started off looking extremely promising and that is may not be a coincidence that the dogs abuse which some of them have faced since may be having a slight impact on their performance. | | | |

Incredible that people are still defending the players and having a go at the fans!
If you look at my points, they are not all negative but if i was to list the signings who could be classed as a qualified success it would be a significantly shorter list!
Young, Traore, Zamora, Taiwo (maybe) have all probably performed in line with expectations and their previous career form. Would you add any more? | | | |

I get the feeling Clive already has an article near completion on this very topic.
It is depressing reading, especially after last season when most of our signings contributed in a positive way. |  | | |

Wow! This is the originalpost that all will remember when we go down as it perfectly encapsulates everything that has gone wrong this season. As others have said, looking just at the names, they should have been so much better than they have been, but the key fact for me is look at how many there are!
A whole team of new signings and only at QPR could they all turn out to be utter gash. Cisse, Zamora, Barton, SWP, Onohua, Diakite and Taiwoo will all be playing with different teams next season (IMHO) and of course they'll do so much better. Knowing our luck, we'll come across a couple of them in the first round of either of the cups! Maybe we can't buy the supposedly finished article, we need to make it ourselves, that's always been the QPR way |  | | |

The worst signing without doubt is Barton,not just for his lack of ability but the divisive behaviour he has inflicted on our club.
He's not the only one who should be ashamed to pick up the ridiculous wage he's on,SWP,Ferdinand,Bothroyd and Onouha have been particularly crap and we look stuck with them.
As bad as Cisse has behaved,at least he looks like he cares and is capable so we'll have no trouble getting him off the unsustainable wage bill we've created.
Traore will also be in demand so i'm pretty sure we'll make a rare profit on him.
