Right.
The last player I can remember us signing and thinking ‘fuck me’, in a good way, and him living up to it was Carbone.
So, your mission should you choose to accept it, is to name an eleven of players who arrived to apparent fanfare and who ended up being shit. Or who signed for a fee they never came close to living under to. And I’m talking relative to the league, at the time.
Bollocks to formations. Beat this
Brad Jones Zesh Rehman Dan Petrescu Lee Sharpe
Paul Anderson Paul McLaren David Hopkin Scott Brown
John McGinlay Aaron McLean Ashley Ward

Hopkin got crocked so that's a bit unfair on him but the rest I'd agree with.

Might be a crap choice due to dodgy memory, but Jon Taylor i expected to be brilliant, think we got him off Bristol Rovers and partnered Jewell. Made a good start, sure he scored a hat-trick at chester or somewhere, them drifted off into obscurity.

Utter, utter cunt of the highest order. Bit harsh on Hopkin, for reasons stated earlier, and anyway doesn't he have an S at the end of his name?

Michael Standing.
Talked about in the press like signing him was a real coup. I got slightly excited, thought they were building for the future. It's been 'jam tomorrow' for most of the 40+ years I've been going. I think the few seasons when it has gone well has been down to luck rather than judgement. They'll get to the brink of doing something, then it'll revert to absolute shite once again. Hope I'm in a minority, but it's becoming increasingly unimportant to me. It's getting to the point where I couldn't give a flying fuck what happens.

Ward was shit but didn’t he write off a big part of what he was owed when the club went into administration?
Anyway, we’re close to a full starting XI of shithouses that Edin has signed from Germany who are waste of money.
