Players you thought would be good but turned out not to be so good

[Khalekan]

I was very pleased when we bought Ashley Wiliams


(well he was always outstanding when he came here with Swansea )

 

[Khalekan]

at the risk of being shot down in flames......Moise Kean


where’s me coat.....

 

[Khalekan]

I am nominating an XI.

Players I thought would be great signings but weren’t.....IMO


Richard Wright

Heitinga Williams Bilic Nuno Valente

Van the Man Samways John Collins Limpar

Sandro Beattie

 

[ossie_21]

The endless list of strikers we have had since Kevin Campbell have all been disappointing, other than Lukaku.

When you look at that being the best part of 15 years, that’s horrific.

 

[Blackwell Livermore]

Actually Beattie, Cottee, Rodwell and Harper I had high expectations but alas...

I'd always have time for those two.

 

[Frang]

We haven't half signed some utter utter utterly crap players..

It's no wonder weve not anything in a quarter of a century reading through the names

 

[ilikecheese]

Has to be Witsel for me. Never did a damn thing for us after he was ours.

For me, id go with Oster...hit the bar in the charity shield from 30 yards out and touted as the next giggs.

Theres actually too many others to list but i hoped the Simonsen--Materazzi--Dacourt--Bakayoko spine would have catapulted us.

Pity we were forced to sell Materazzi and Dacourt as they would have been top players for us.

Wright and Simonsen i hoped would be england mainstays...

Has this been done before? Obviously mainly Everton but anyone really.

The one that sticks in my head is Stephen Hughes: I thought he was going to revolutionise our midfield with his smooth passing style. Took a good photo though.

Hi Brownie. How are you doing?
