Great signing that turned bad

Popside

Roofer
As it’s transfers deadline day who’s the player we bought who you were over the moon about us signing who turned out to be crap. just to show even as supporters we get it wrong.🤭🤭
 
Roger Davies. Although not a natural player he ( sadly) did the business at Derby.
Went to Bruges for a season and scored for fun ( yes I know, a crap league). Came to us aged just 27 and was beyond crap.
 
More recently, had huge hopes for Caleb Okoli.

But there's some weird disease that goes around our centre-halves that causes them to turn to shit...
 
Two geoffs both from stoke . Scott and salmons . Thought Scott would be good compensation for rofe but no way 😟and salmons who was good at Sheffield u and stoke was not the same player here even though he could still hit it. I don’t think of them as crap it was me overrating em.

Does Adrien Silva count as a deadline day signing seeing as it was 14 seconds late? Anyway what a damp squib he ended up being.
You can't blame Silva for the incompetence of others. Cam't have helped to have to wait around for months waiting to play competitively.
 
Wasn't crap as such but most disappointing for me was Darren Eadie. Really rated him at Norwich.
Might be my memory, but the poor lad hardly set foot outside the sick bay didn't he?

My cousin Malcolm Eadie is Darren's dad.

Had he ever been properly fit, I am convinced he would have been a real asset for us.
Sadly he was blighted with knee injuries and was forced to retire at 28
He was signed in the Martin O'Neil era and I m sure he would have fitted in with the Elliott, Lennon, Muzzy and Heskey team Very well had it not been for his problems.
I watched him play against us in a night game for Norwich at Filbo and he looked a player.
A real shame he couldn't prove his worth to Leicester City.

Brian Alderson from Cov, world beater for them, poor for us!

Played him mf here didn’t we , in my early days down city but got worried weller maybe off as same position ish , though no talk of it , yes at cov he was very exciting. Died in America on a building site im sure.
 
Remember Andy Graver bought from Lincoln 1950's scoring goals for fun there (was still there top scorer when he died ) but he was a dud for us
 
Those 2 Hungarians that Hollowhead recruited amidst a much heralded fanfare of expectations. One decent debut against the Covscum then it all went quickly tits. That bad I can’t even be arsed to remember their names?
