Excited when they signed but turned out to be rubbish

Mendy,Mangala,Bony and Jo because they came with big reputations and price tags. Glad those days of signing woeful players are over.…for now anyway.

Barry Silkman

Stefan Jovetic

 

[BusterPhillips]

Anyone mentioned Buster Philips?

 

[Debaser]

Nery Castillo.
Paid his own transfer fee then got injured on his debut.

He was fucking deadly in PES and I was so excited to see him play, just constantly injured.

 

[Winchester]

Bobby Shinton

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Stefan Jovetic

He is in the final two with Samaras for the 'something about them' award.

I always thought Fowler got a bit of a bad rap and was actually pretty decent for us.

McManaman on the other hand was as useful as a chocolate teapot.

As well as for the obvious, Fowler is tainted for missing the penalty that would have seen us in Europe.

Bobby Shinton

Come off it - excited about Shinton? Irony, I suspect....

I fear I was excited about getting a couple of tough new specialist full-backs in the summer of 2004 (we needed some then).

Alas, they were Danny Mills & Ben Thatcher. How wrong I was.

George Weah.

Big name, who definitely disappointed.
