mcmigo Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Dave aka ndumbu nsungu. Looked the real deal pre season and was decent in that first year. Seem to recall a few big teams were sniffing around. Strange his career just fell away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiejohn Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Mark chamberlain a seriously talented footballer who could have been the waddle of that era but Wilkinson was determined to coach the flair out of him same as he did with siggi. But in all my time following Wednesday it has to be hirsty who was the best striker I’ve seen at Wednesday by a mile but with the right approach and luck could have been the player of his generation. He blinded Shearer on ability of not in ambition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLERTON GHOST Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The first time I saw Julian Watts he came on as a sub and scored 2 I think ? Thought we may be on to something ? Next time I saw him.I was late getting to the ground and as I was taking my chair saw him suicide dive and took a flurry of boots in the face. stretchered off and that was the end of him.. didn't do anything after that of note in a Wednesday shirt .....

Tamworthowl Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Madjid Bougerra. Not really a surprise that he left us for better money, but his career seemed to tail off quickly. Another of those Wednesday defenders who, no matter how good they appeared, always had a clanger just around the corner. That aside, he was a class above his teammates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we’d signed a real gem in Rhys McCabe. That famous ‘bossed the Old Firm’ line. Superb debut against Derby at Pride Park ages 19 I believe. Scored a cracker against Charlton. Completely fizzled out, may have been down to attitude. God knows where he is now. Rhys McCabe Currently at Irish League Sligo Rovers Hes still only 26. Five clubs and has never moved for a single penny, yup no fees. Has a career stat (League) of 88 games in total over those five clubs and 28 of those were as a sub!

Decent defensively and good on the ball. He's still played at a decentish level but never made the premier league which I thought he would when he first broke through into our team.

Dutch McLovin Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 There have been loads. Over the last few years especially since the premier league days I believe some of the names mentioned in this thread could have been a lot better for us and in there career with better management, especially on our part. Even down to Blinker, why would Pleat not play him ?! The youngsters especially - with a proper man manager these players would have had much better careers I'm sure of it.

Groundhopping Owl Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 In terms of players we brought in, Marco Matias had a lot of hype and a brilliant goalscoring record in Portugal. Remember him missing two big chances on his debut against Bristol and thinking that once he'd settled in he'd start sticking them away and be the sort of player who could lead us to promotion. If only... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlinOldham Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Juan Cobian...... remember him? Argentinian full back. Expected big things of him when he signed.....I was young and his name was exotic. Sadly it turns out he had a silent K at the end if his first name that nobody saw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuntItLikeDielna Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Maghoma - when he was playing under Gray at first, he was unreal, still remember him absolutely murdering Leeds in the 6-0 game, was never really the same after that injury he got off Al Habsi at Wigan, made a decent career for himself at Birmingham though so fair play to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
