Underwhelmed when they signed but turned out to be pretty good

Stones.
Never thought he'd turn in to the player he is today.

Slightly underwhelmed when David Silva arrived, at the time would have preferred his attacking partner at Valencia, David Villa, (or better still both), but it turned out well and not so choosey now. I trust our transfer team.

Andy Hill was very solid and reliable.
Neil McNab started off not so well but became a very important player for us.

If we change the ‘pretty good’ to ‘fuckin outstanding’ , oddly, Sergio and Dave, I just seemed to watch them whenever they had quiet to reasonable performances, and whilst you could tell they were skilful, I just didn’t get the hype and think they’d get anywhere near the levels they eventually did.
In my defence with Dave though, it seemed Valencia were playing him as a winger a lot of the time rather than a midfielder.

Sterling. I thought he'd be a waste of money. He did much better than I thought he'd do but I'd sell him now if we can get anyone better. (Alvarez?)
Stones. I thought he'd be a waste of money. And for a long while he was but then he became awesome. Wouldn't sell him for bigger money now.
Walker. I thought he'd be a waste of money. And again he was terrible for a while. But for much longer he's been completely dependable and critical to how we play. I worry about how we replace him with anything even close to as good.
Rodri. I had hopes for him until he too looked a waste of money. But then he settled in and became a fantastic player for us.
The trend here is that I'm seldom right in the long run. . :-)
