Excited when they signed but turned out to be rubbish

Emile Mpenza - for some reason I thought he was going to be our next Anelka…

He kept us up!

Kare Ingebrigsten - actually looked pretty cultured in the odd flash here and there but just never made it.

Hat trick in the Alan kernaghan match

Mendy must be top of anyones list. Been crying out for a world class left back for years. Came from that very good Monaco team. For all the world he looked like a marauding gem of a player and a top bloke with an infectious sense of humour.

Talk about failing in every way possible

In hindsight, the whole shark team thing is really creepy

Kakabar Tshdadze sp, didnt kinkladze give him a glowing endorsement, claiming he is better than me!

That was Kavelashvili

The biggest one for me is Fernando Torres. I was hyped beyond belief thinking we were dominate the league and win the CL with him.

Sheva too. Veron. There have been quite a few.

Erm... You did win the champions League with him didn't you?

anybody recall the hamshanker called JO

This fucking thread is giving me back memories I tried so hard to forget.
Mendy - nothing left to say
Alioun Toure looked ok once then couldn’t play because he forgot his meds for DVT and couldn’t sit on the coach
Fucking Alan Kernaghan,
Pointy Mc Scouseface
Sammy bastard McIlroy
That twat Nigel Clough
George “worlds best” Weah
That German bloke who got run over by the hostess trolley on a plane
Sooooooo much disappointment over the years.
Think that’s why I am such a happy clapper now anything where I am not trying to work out where the points are coming from to stay up is fucking heavenly. ;-)

I genuinely thought the influx of the Georgians around 1996 was going to be a turning point. Murtaz Sheila and Tskhadadze looked like defensive beasts, Kavelashvili was going to bang them in with his rocket of a shot (memory may be failing me but didn't he flatten Schmeichel in a Derby with a volley?) but they all turned out to be shite.

Weren’t we linked with arguably one of the best of the lot at the time. Shota Arvaladze.

On loan we had footballs greatest spelling mistake Carl Shutt.
