Hyped transfers who turned out to be garbage

[Mikejl]

Must admit I got quite excited when we signed the Greek Tragedy Samaras, however nothing beats Nigel Clough

 

[Immels_eyebrow]

David Seaman, a country mile past his best.. The only player I can remember who retired in the middle of a season

 

[Hoghead]

Steve Daley - British transfer record at the time & garbage.

 

[Blueknows]

the 1st milion pound player...Trevor Francis.................still holds a grudge against us for "all the false promises " Remember Bond threatening to resign if we didnt sign him even though swales told him we couldnt afford it , 12 goals in 26 games , cost 1.2 mill sold for 700k 12 months later

12 goals in 26 games isn't garbage though...he was fuckin awesome.....when he was fit.......

Trevor Francis wasn't a waste of money . In fact if we had kept him for 82-83 season we wouldn't have been relegated .

 

[Pearceman]

Daley was a decent enough player but struggled living up to the ridiculous fee that Swales paid for him, and Kevin Reeves was a cracking player.
Bradbury was piss poor and then came back and scored against us after he'd left.

 

[FanchesterCity]

Steve Daley
Gerry Creaney (although only Ball rated him!)
Trevor Francis (wasn't all that bad, but not what we expected!)

 

[crazyg]

Kevin Reeves was a long way from garbage ! Have you ever seen him play???

To be fair, Allison thought he was buying CHRISTOPHER Reeve!
