Earlsfieldowl Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Only 5? You could probably fill the internet with this list... Rudi shouldn't be there though - there have been worse Sogou for example - one of the least effective players ever to wear the shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit Flump Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Andy Hinchcliffe. That guy sucked us dry! And not in a good way!!! Made less appearances than a solar eclipse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG_1984 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Many horrendous memories on this thread. I'll add the captain of our worst team in my lifetime - the current Brentford manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 9 hours ago, poite said: Just did. 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? I'm going to put my post here and talk you though it as I can see you're having a bit of trouble grasping what I was saying... now the the title of the thread was 5 players who should never have come to Sheffield Wednesday. my response was... "I could pick 5 out of the current squad: Almen Abdi Dave Jones Jordan Rhodes Adam Reach Marco Matias I'm not saying they're all terrible but given respective injury records and contributions to the first team, I reckon that's about £20m that could have been better spent elsewhere." So if you read through that last paragraph you will see that my whole point was that given the hefty financial outlay for these players and when you way up the contributions each has made to the first team against the financial outlay for each player, I think it would have been better if they'd never come to the club and we'd spent the money elsewhere. Hence in my opinion I don't think they should have ever come to the club. Why is it so difficult for you to understand this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never add Andy booth to that list. If our first team as it is now had half the do or die fearlessness of boothy we'd be sitting pretty at the top of the table. Strong, brave, powerful and not afraid to take one for the team, get clattered one of those that always gave 100% never shirked a challenge, relished a battle and not afraid of putting himself in where it hurt. Not a fantastic footballer, but a good finisher and fantastic mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you just randomly listed players rather than taking the actual point of the thread into account? Booth was a bit of a cart horse but played a key role in his first season in a team that went from avoiding relegation on the final day of the previous season to finish 7th the next. Whittingham started on fire for us and played a prominent role for a couple of seasons. Andy Pearce was little more than a hod carrier but did a job for a couple of seasons and scored against the blunts! Hinchecliffe drained us financially due to his injuries but the contract he signed was the fault of the club. The times he did play he was pretty good. You've gone back over 20 years and that's your main list of players that shouldn't have signed for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just didn't work out. We've had much worse players and sinton was choosing between us and arsenal at the time. Patrick Blandeau should be top of this list.

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. Briscoe was good for Burnley for 2 seasons 2000/2001 & 2001/2002. Someone told me that he did not really like football that much - just a job he was quite good at. Like a car mechanic, painter and decorator...

Snake Plissken Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Chris Woods. For me the player most responsible for our decline. We had a rock solid, confident, defence before he arrived. Within weeks they were bobbar scared. It spread throughout the team. Then the stands. Nice hair mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tryer, nothing more, wasn't what we required at the time and fans settling for players of his standard (unlike the Tottenham fans who hated him) baffle me.

hykehamowl Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Greatest regret about Rudi was that me and my mate, despite several attempts away, never, ever got people to join in with a chant to The Specials 'Rudi, A Message To You' - made for a terrace anthem. He was a talented and yet an incredibly frustrating player. The best quote I saw about him was in a fanzine (WOTMT?) when someone expertly stated that "everything he does nearly comes off." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
