Foreign flops

Stefan Rehn

Ferrari

I dont blame him. He was good but we weren't ready for a player like him at that point.

Idan tal, Mikel Madar & Li Weifeng spring to mind. Nyarko was terrible, we've spent serious money on awful players in the past.

Saw Nyarko at Preston , Pre-Season . He looked like Dacourt an' MORE .

It went downhill from there .

Has nobody mentioned van der Meyde?!... Will forever be synonymous with foreign flops to me now.

Also, Abel Xavier - Not totally useless, but looked a complete tool, joined the RS and proved that he was one...

Mentions for Bosnar, Castillo, Guillaume Plessis and all the other guys mentioned.

Slightly harsh to call him a "flop". Not many CDM have kept Lampard quiet at Stamford Bridge.

True, he had a couple of good matches, but clearly no chance of buying him long term, didn't make the grade at Wolves either and is now back home in the Ecuadorian league.

Kroldrup cant be judged to have been a success or failure after playing twice after an early injury. Let's face it, getting rid of him was a consequence of the financial failure of not qualifying for the CL group stages. I didn't buy the manager's u-turn on his own judgement in selling him 6 months after buying him. That episode was probably the lowest point of Moyes' career. The explanation he had to come up with on the OS to silence the doubters of the official explanation, that he was not Premier League class and had to go pronto, was a toe curling effort by Moyesie to cover the tracks of an economic decision made above his head. The whole affair stunk to high heaven.

Bily.

 

[Neiler]

Eddie Bosnar.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Li Weifang. Tobias Linderoth. I thought Kearton was ok to be fair. Read in Harvey's book he just turned up at GP one day asking for a trial. He did pretty well at Crewe when he left as well.

 

[BlueLlama]

can't believe no one's mentioned Slaven Bilic - the way he took the piss out of the club by playing for Croatia and sitting it out for us was sickening. He was a good player but he fleeced us good and proper.

 

[Summerskin]

Considering that £65 million queen heads were splashed out on them.

Robinho & Schevchenko.

When did they play for us?

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Fortress Sports Fund.

*Sorry, I'll get my coat.*

Yep, you got me there, apologies.

They should always be named though in threads like this, proper gash they were.
