alanharper Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Forgot about Simon Stainrod - a player who most definitely shouldn't have come. A blade, was reponsible for the infamous Oldham riot, had always been a cocky so and so when he played against us - so we bought him for a record fee and he managed 2 goals before being shipped out. It was like Curran signing for the pigs, it was never going to be a happy ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beloved_aunt Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Jeffers has to be the worst. Not just because of the money but the circumstances. We let Steve MacLean go that summer even though he wanted to stay, then struggled to find a replacement so ended up paying over the odds for Jeffers who was awful. If we'd just offered SM a new deal we could have saved that transfer fee and a lot of extra wages and he'd have definetily contributed a huge amount more in the next couple of seasons that FJ9 did. It was obvious even at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 in no particular order and i'm not saying they were poor players just that 4 didn't fit and one wasted 5 years of his career simon stainrod ......... never a wilko type of player and came and went very quickly colin Harvey..............when he ran on to the pitch for his debut limping I feared the worst and wasn't disappointed, how he passed a medical i'll never know gilles de bilde ...........I know all players play for the money but he just wanted the money for a minimum of effort . garry Thompson .......good centre forward but we already had one and he was never going to replace him .another who was one season and gone . tommy craig ..............he deserved to play at a far higher level instead of scratching around with us .

For the £5m outlay, I think that money could have been spent better elsewhere. I've never said he's a bad player but I think for what he's shown in the first team, £5m was a lot of money. Hand on heart can you honestly say he looks like a £5m winger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We properly had our leg lifted with Reach. £500,000 yes but £5 million is utter utter madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlinexile Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Rudi wasn't that bad. He surely won us a few points here and there, which is more than can be said for most on this list. Similarly, Guy Whittingham that someone mentioned was actually one of our better players at the time. Patrick Blondeau - now there was someone who should never have come.

From the players' perspective and in line with this thread, From Jemson's point a view, it was a bad career move and one, with hindsight, he would have been better never to have made.

Yeah quite, he might score goals for fun north of the border but the English Championship is too physical for him and the defences too tight.
