Excited when they signed but turned out to be rubbish

Jerome Boateng.

Absolute wilted piece of soggy lettuce of a player. No fight in him, no guts. Didn’t even have the determination to work hard enough to outshine Joleon Lescott or Kolo Touré to cement his place at centre half for us, to the point where the only place he was deserving of was third choice right back or on the bench.

Made Harry Maguire look like a mix of Beckenbaeur Baresi and Cannavarro. Made Bruno Fernandes look like Vinnie Jones.

Paul Futcher, Mich Channon and Kevin Reeves, exciting signings back in the day but all 3 major disappointment's.

Bony

Agreed, but didn't he get malaria which wrecked his game.

Franny Lee as a chairman must be up there.

Yeah, was so excited when he took over & gutted for us and him that it didn't work out

Mouse's ear is much more refined if I'm honest

One euphemism which makes me smile is 'the wizards' sleeve'.

Not sure if a player on loan actually has to "sign" but, Daniel Van Buyten was useless for us.

I thought Van Buyten was a good player and was disappointed that we couldn't afford him when the opportunity came to sign him.
He had a hell of a shot on him.

Maybe he did, but I suspect that his getting more money than he'd ever dreamed of in his life had much more to do with it.

Yaya was 100% right. Wilf was a lazy bastard put his feet up before the ink dried on his contract. He made Yaya look like Billy Whizz.

Bony is bout ten years older than his age states. Has a son that’s 17. That’s what his issue was. So he was more like mid 30’s when we got him.
