Bit like when the media told us spurs got the better player in Paulinho when Fernandinho signed....

I think with some of the names on this thread it's less that they came with exciting reputations at the point when they signed but more that they started ok and got our hopes up! First two on your list cases in point I think..

Kris didn't come with any great reputation but maybe the dippers goal got us all excited?
Bojinov - I suppose being permanently injured does make you a bit gash but he was unlucky imo

However, agree re. Samaras especially given what we paid for him at the time
and as for Corradi, not sure what Trapattoni was smoking when he picked him for Italy

Nery Castillo .. thought he was going to be brilliant!
