Soccernet listed the 10 worse transfers in the EPL season. Coming in at number two: Roque Junior (Leeds United, loan deal) Since Jonathan Woodgate's sale, Leeds have needed a rock in their defence. Peter Reid supplied a Roque instead, and the Leeds rearguard have been rocky ever since. Not that the World Cup winner - that phrase again - is still at Elland Road; the premature finish of the Brazilian's loan spell was one of Eddie Gray's first acts in charge. Before then, 'hapless' almost became Roque Junior's recognised prefix. Leeds' three worst performances of a dismal season all involved him, shipping four goals apiece to Leicester and Everton and six at Portsmouth in a match which heralded the end of Reid's reign and proved Roque Junior's final game in a terrible loan spell. Indeed, it is hard to think of a less successful defender in Premiership history than Roque Junior: Leeds conceded 20 goals in his five, pointless games. Only Ole' Safehands was rated as a worse transfer. The greatest line: "Before then, 'hapless' almost became Roque Junior's recognised prefix." Classic.
Aint it the truth... By the time you've read this sentence, Rogue Junior has conceded another five goals on his watch...
