This thread got me thinking about Vinny Samways. What would the opposite of the hype train be? When the club spent over the odds for players the world could see were tosh.
(edit: We paid more for him than they paid for Klinsmann in the same summer, what a time to be alive)

The Everton special I think it’s called
For the most part, Sigurdson did well.
Of course we never replaced him.
Besic is a good shout.
For years, mates were raving about him, never saw it myself

Daniel Amokachi. Gets a bit of a let off for those goals against Spurs in the semi final, but the 94 world cup really did hype him!

I enjoy the ones where, like Niasse, there are big claims that slowly whittle down towards the truth, e.g. 'top scorer/player of the year' turns out to be a single player of the month award.

Forgot about him; he's in.
Good job Stephen Hughes and Tony Grant are used to getting dropped.
Saloman Rondon.

in fairness, not sure there was much hype around Rondon by the time he got to us!

Tom Cannon?
He had a one man fan-club. That's enough.
