Watto Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 2 hours ago, IWEDFM said: Kenwyne Jones - A relative unknown when we signed him but 7 goals in 7 matches at League One level proved he was far too good for where we were at the time Madjid Bougherra - A rock at the back and those darting runs into the opposition half were exceptional. I was gutted when he was sold Ross Barkley - He was tipped to be the new Lampard/Gerrard so was something of a surprise when we signed him on loan. Showed glimpses of his potential but was much younger back then. Still chipped in with 4 or 5 goals if my memory is correct Scott Carson - He was superb during a loan spell, a class above. Much younger back then and was considered a future England International Can anyone think of any others? Carbone and Di cannio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 None of the 90s names mentioned were too good for us. We had some top half premier league finishes in that decade and they were the level of player we should’ve been getting rather than the average ones we got instead. Since then we’ve had plenty who ordinarily should be lucky to play here under ideal circumstances but we’re capable of a higher level at the time. That’s part of the reason why they ended up here on loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was tremendous he carried the team and far from taking the proverbial he was the only player worth the entrance fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Big Gerald Sibon is a great shout. We had some absolute mugs in that team in the Championship and Sibon kept us up. When Turner got rid he condemned us to relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think we moved Sibon on and brought Darryl Powell in on the same day. That in a nutshell sums up all the years of mis-management and woeful decision making Edited September 14, 2020 by IWEDFM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham67 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Weirdest thread I've ever had the misfortune to come across on here. No player was, is or will ever be too good for us. I don't want to be controversial, but if you think differently, you are supporting the wrong club. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the daft git jumped on board as we got relegated to D2 the year he joined and D3 just before he left.......often wondered if he regretted the move. While had a good career you have to think how much better it could have been if he hadnt wasted 4 years slumming it in 2nd division with us......

You really are dim aren't you, as i've said above not too good to play for Wednesday but in terms of ability of where we were at the time. Take Antonio as an example he was too good to play for us in League One. He was at least a Championship standard player at the time and was playing below his level 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was too good for that level. No other player in League One that year would have finished the way he did vs Wycombe for the first goal. True he got even better after he left us but he was still a cut above for that league at that time. His pace, his finishing, just miles ahead of anyone else in our promotion year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
