Players we signed who were too good for us


Recommended Posts

Maybe a bit controversial, but Royston Drenthe. He was a class above anything we had, can tell why he played at the highest level. Got the feeling he just didn't apply himself as much as he could. 

 

Anthony Gardener was class, just injuries took a massive toll on him, one of my favourite players from recent years.

 

This'd be a lot easier if we said those that waint good enough for us.

Nobody is too good for us ffs.

 

Yes there have been a number of players too good to play for us over the years

 

Not too good to play for Sheffield Wednesday but in terms of ability too good compared to the rest of the squad at that time

 

There is a difference

Some good shouts

 

Antonio definitely - you only have to look at the player he is today

 

Yes, I can remember that keeper. Iain Turner

 

That's him - he was quality, then he went back to Everton and rotted and then did nothing, shame really. Should've built a career in the lower leagues and then gone back up.

100's of players have the ability.. it's how they use the ability..  Joao has it in abundance.. was he too good for us no.

non of the players mentioned bar Di Canio went onto better things.. that says it all.

I remember one game where Di Canio and Carbone were playing either side of Andy Booth.

I dont know if they were too good for us but they were too good for him.

After about 20 minutes of the ball going to Booth and not coming back their arms were waving like windmills, Paulo was moaning 'WHY.... WHY?' at the bench. Shaking his head and then he didn't pass another ball all game.
