davey_wells Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 God I'd forgotten that Jay Bothroyd played for us. Thanks - just while I was about to have a nice weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Bonvin Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Leon Knight was a cracker too. How about chairmen who should never have come to Wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread isn't about whether a player was worth the money we paid. It's about players who just shouldn't have been here. Rhodes so far has been a waste of money because he's wasted by a clueless manager. Reach and Jones have been regular players this season in the first 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl-zat Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Not seen anyone mention Francesco Sanetti A player who scored on his debut I seem to remember after coming off subs bench in the last game of the season against Aston Villa. After this he came on a few more times the following season with the Kop embarrassingly calling for him to be brought on as our saviour because of that one great if probably fluky goal but not having witnessing him playing a full season as striker in the reserves without scoring a goal.

As i said, the thread is about players who should never have been signed. Your post is about players who we've paid a lot of money for bit haven't exactly been value for money. In your original post your response to 5 players who should never have played for Wednesday you state you can name 5 in the current squad. To include reach and Jones in that 5 is stupid. Rhodes I can see an argument although I don't necessarily agree. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Another vote for Patrick Blondeau. We really are spoilt for choice, which makes it all the harder to pick out the ultimate dross. Jay Bothroyd and Leon Knight would have to be my strike force if we're talking about total wasters. Jeffers could come on to give one of them a break from strolling around. The kind of players that make you realise your club has become a total basket case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I remember when we signed Bothroyd, people were falling over themselves to say how good he'd be. Pecnik was similar as well. I like many watched the YouTube compilation and thought he'd be great and he was f*cking terrible. Worse than Bothroyd in my honest opinion. I know Bothroyd is hated on here and I can understand that but he at the very least had 3 good games for us. Pecnik had about 3 good minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he came through the youth set up he showed lots of potential and had a two year period where he broke into the England set up but faded away. Did ok for Burnley too. I have his matchworn England shirt, don’t ask how or why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musn't Grumble Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Barry Island Ferry... Fell into the category of "honest player if a little lacking in quality". If I recall correctly, he ended up at Bury and became their star man for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
