Blatter Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Berahino. I thought he was just the type of goal scoring forward we need. Then of course who can forget:- Colin West Francis Jeffers Bothroyd Abdi Then in a good way Jermain Johnson Antonio Varadi Harkes Sheridan.

torryowl Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 In a good way viv anderson ,saw his debut at hull and thought why the feck have w e signed this old plodder .......in bad way rhodes was very disappointing as I thought he'd be the one to get goals to get us up but sadly his injuries had taken the edge off him .

Adem Poric Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Bannan definitely. The stories of him drinking were pretty well known and he was thought of as someone who had wasted his talent. On a lesser scale, Craig Rocastle. I thought he was utter dogshit when he first came but made himself an important part of the Sturrock promotion team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Barry Bannan. At the time wasn’t sure why we needed another midfield player when we’d just signed Lopez and McGugan plus had Lee, Semedo and Hutchinson all at the club. Has turned into one of our best ever signings in the past 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His scoring record in Scotland was phenomenal, but he just looked a notch below what was required in the Championship, didn't he? He wasn't quick enough to get away from defenders, nor strong enough to hold them off for long...and I don't think I've ever seen a striker with a weaker shot. He did some decent things, but it was all a bit 'meh', really, wasn't it? This just about sums him up - decent movement and technique, then a pea-roller of a shot which isn't even on target... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkfieldowl14 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Laurie Madden.Signed on a free transfer and never really heard of him or rated him, but was glad to be proven wrong.Turned out to be one of our best Free Transfer signings. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gob_Bluth Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Bannan for me for too, seemed out of odds with the other signings we'd made that summer Couldn't see why we needed him, got a few Villa mates who absolutely can't stand him and still can't to this day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I wouldn’t say I have such a bad record on this as I normally think it’s quite easy to tell once they’ve played a few games That said, I think I’m going to be proved wrong on Jayden Brown…after our first few games I thought he looked great Now he’s woeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching his 20 goals for St Johnstone and the vast majority were so strange - either poor goalkeeping or very good luck. Like you say he had decent movement but was very weak and physically not quite up to it I don’t think. He went to Preston and got a nasty injury if I recall? Think he could have still forged out a career for a lower league Championship/top half League One side if it wasn’t for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkfieldowl14 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Another one here to throw in to the ring.Brian Marwood. Signed from Hull in 1984 for £100,000. Was expecting us to sign big name players for the 1984/85 season.Still he did a pretty good job for us in that season.Eventually, he moved to Arsenal for £700,000.

CircleSeven Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 On the positive side I actually remember thinking Waddle might have been past it before he signed for us. Clearly he wasn’t. Disapointments list is almost too long to start but last season Jack Marriott was a particular lowlight. I thought he might be useful. But he wasn’t. Half a season injured and no goals at all. Rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I thought Kachunga would be crap when we signed him. He was much worse 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Andy Sinton...Thought he was going to be the final piece of the Jigsaw. It's like a glitch in the matrix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
