Junglejay Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 No axe to grind with him but pound for pound, he’s got to be up there as one of our worst signings in recent times. Behind Abdi of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I doubt we ever paid 4m euros for him. He hasn’t done well enough to trigger any of the add ons a “deal worth 4m” would include. The reason we signed him was that we couldn’t afford anyone decent in this league. Still, whoever said he was the next best thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick70 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 As with a lot of players who are average at best ... put them in a decent team( which we were at the time) and they won’t look half as bad as they are? But put them in a poor side and you see exactly how good they are! Remember when Carlos said we had looked at 200 cb and we’d signed him? We all could have picked at least 3/4 players for the money we paid .. like someone posted up there with abdi £7/8m between them jeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Another shambolic signing. My abiding memory is him letting Leon bleeding Clarke stroll about Hillsborough as if he owned the place. Cheers DC. 200 CBs indeed. Okaaaaaaaaaaaay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack of Clubs Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 If anyone is still here at the club that had any input into his transfer (whether that's scouting or management) then they also need to follow him out of the door. Don't think you can blame DC fully for this one as he would have been inclined to follow the instruction of Carvalhal and the scouting network on this one. Think of the money we'd have saved if we had just got Iorfa at the time instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of a thousand defenders which were scouted, 300 were from the Meadowhall league and 699 from Power league, so he was legit the best, apart from Tez, Wez & Dez. They kill the power league Div D on a Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 It just shows what happens when your scouting network is youtube highlight reels and football manager games. Just shows what you can do with some clever editing with a player from a crap league. Remember that guy manc utd signed years ago...

0742 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 5 hours ago, CircleSeven said: I would put him as our second worst Chansiri era signing just behind Abdi. Abdi was clearly a good player but his large fee, large wages and complete vanishing act still makes me grind my teeth. Van Aken’s main problem is his lack of ability as a defender. Can’t believe we paid a large fee for him, never mind the years of wasted wages followed by a long term injury just as we started playing him. Complete garbage. Abdi & Urby have to be the 2 worst signings surely? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
