Player who most surpassed expectations

[Cotton Weave Blue]

SWP

Silva,

First time I saw him I thought too small for the league, not going to cope going to get bullied off the ball and get clattered.

Fortunately, I was wrong and he had magic feet!

 

[Iamthemusicman]

Barry.

Ali B. Never heard of him so had zero expectations for him. Within 15 minutes I knew we had a cracker.

That debut was immense.......never to be forgotten

I'd say Kompany. He was signed as a player with huge potential and really didn't impress as a DM which is what he largely was when we signed him. You couldn't have imagined he would become the central defensive rock he turned into. Him and Zabba have far surpassed my expectations.

this all day long , kompany is magnificent

I thought Sergio was gonna be OK, and then he came onto the pitch v Swansea, and the rest? Well, check the videos!

This.

When he signed I thought he was simply a replacement for the thought to be departing Tevez. I doubt anyone expected what a season he would go on to have.

Agreed. Also Ali Benarbia.

Dennis Tueart

Agreed. Also Ali Benarbia.

He's the first name that sprung in my head, as its been mentioned though I'll throw Gerard Wiekens in there.
