Daniel Farke's worst signings at Leeds United have been ranked, and the results are not flattering for the Whites' manager.
With one or two stinkers in there for good measure, Farke has made some superb signings during his time at Leeds, but the ones that didn't quite make the cut are a different story altogether.
At the bottom of the list is Facundo Buonanotte, an actual Argentina international who made a disastrous start to his loan spell at Leeds, playing just 82 minutes in total across four appearances.
Djed Spence, another loan signing, fared no better, failing to make a lasting impression on the pitch despite his performances for England at the 2026 World Cup.
Isaac Schmidt is another player who failed to leave a lasting mark on the team, with his forgettable performances making him a future pointless answer in the world of football.
Lucas Perri, a rare permanent transfer mis-step, is another player who failed to impress, getting dropped for Karl Darlow in the process.
The Brazilian goalkeeper did restore some faith during Leeds' run to the FA Cup semi-finals, but even then, there were moments of uncertainty, most notably against West Ham.
A £13.9million fee is not nothing, but it's a drop in the ocean when it comes to the costly mistakes of the Orta era.
At number 25 is Largie Ramazani, a player who has a lingering feeling that a good player is in there somewhere, but in the context of Farke's wider success, it's hardly a decision worth dwelling on.
Connor Roberts, a peripheral figure in Farke's first season, was perfectly serviceable, but beyond his equaliser against Leicester, he left little lasting impression on the pitch.
Alex Cairns, who has never made an appearance under Farke, is as much a coach and homegrown quote-filler as he is a genuine back-up.
Josuha Guilavogui, another vibesman, is think of as the Bez of Leeds United's last promotion season.
Jaidon Anthony, a winger who surprisingly notched only two goals and two assists in his 38 appearances for Leeds, was a useful enough squad player, but there was never any real demand for Leeds to make his loan permanent.
Sebastiaan Bornauw, a Belgian defender, has started more games without tasting defeat, but the eye test tells a rather different story, with six of his nine starts ending in draws.
Sam Byram, a full-back who racked up 80 appearances, played a very useful supporting role in the promotion season, and seeing him celebrate going up with his boyhood club was immensely satisfying.
Sean Longstaff, a midfielder who made the emotional decision to leave his hometown club Newcastle, has struggled for minutes since Leeds found their rhythm in the Premier League.
Glen Kamara, a former Rangers stalwart, helped steady the ship after the turbulence of Farke's first summer, and although his sole season at Elland Road ultimately ended in failure, he wasn't anybody's favourite footballer.
Now, with Farke's fourth summer as Leeds United manager coming to a close, the question on everyone's mind is: what's next for the Whites' manager, and will he learn from his mistakes to make better signings in the future?
