I always thought he was really good for Villa and couldn’t work out how on earth we’d got him on a free…. I was well pleased when we got him and was remotely underwhelmed… if you started ‘I can’t believe we let them go’ thread on Villans talk…. He’d be top of the list, I’m sure…
ThaiFox Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Marcin Wasilewski. Totally honest player, great team player, and always gave his all for us. Total beast too!
foxfanazer Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Don't agree with the Vardy shouts. With it being a non league record transfer fee there was a real sense of intrigue. Never could've imagined he'd turn out to be probably our greatest ever player though
Mark_w Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Kasper was a little underwhelming since Leeds seemed so keen to get rid coupled with the foolish niggling doubt that he might be overrated because of his surname. Edit: Scratch that been back to the thread we had on here and everyone was ecstatic, forgot the Weale/Ricardo nonsense preceded Kasper.
pSinatra Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Steve Claridge. Wasn't impressed when we bought him & cannot really say he turned out to be a revelation. Not sure if he ever scored with a clean strike of the ball, but what important goals they were
CosbehFox Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Wes Fat carthorse with bottle qualities from Forest and look what happened
Langston Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Waghorn's initial loan spell – quite a mergh signing but he was top in 09/10. Didn't think Bruno Berner would play anymore than a handful of games for us, but he ended up being better for us than Mattock ever would have been.
DerbyshireFox Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Albrighton for me, seemed such a ‘meh’ signing at the time but works his socks off, and now forever one of the legends of our greatest season

I was more excited about him then the other signings that day jack barmby and a 35 year old Matt upson

Jobyfox Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Has to be Wes Morgan for me. Others have excelled beyond my expectations, but I was always hopeful they might do something. With Wes I genuinely could not see the point of the signing, but for consistency, longevity and 2015/16 he’s now a legend.

Grebfromgrebland Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 A lot of people showing their lack of knowledge on football in this thread
MGLCFC Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Tony Cottee. Playing in Malaysia I believe towards the end of his career, generally on his way out and turned out to be a great partnership with Heskey.
49er Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Matt Elliott - £1.6m for someone who played for Oxford
Dorkingfox Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Steve Guppy, a after three successful years at Vale he signed for us in 1997. After a four-year spell with the "Foxes", he gaine an England cap, then he moved to Scotland to play for Celtic
49er Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Gordon Milne - underwhelming appointment as Manager when Jock left. A season later we were promoted
49er Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Fuchs. Came on a free, and thought he just wanted a final pay day before retiring

South Shire Fox Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Mark Davies. Didnt think much of signing a player who couldnt get in a championship team but then seeing him live to be shocked at how good he actually was! Just a shame he wasnt here long.
Dorkingfox Posted 5 January 2019 Posted 5 January 2019 Most of Mons players, did we really know much about Neil Lennon, Robbie Savage, Pontus Kamark, Matt Elliot and Theo Zagorakis? Others were Scott Taylor, he took a chance on Collymore & Cottee

A season later we were promoted Good shout, under valued manager in my opinion, exciting run in and after a difficult start to life in the top division had 3 to 4 good years went down hill after Hamilton took over. Had Lineker in his prime for us and along with Smith and Lynex had an exciting attack. Only downside for me was swapping Melrose for English but even that did not turn out too bad in the end, great times I fondly remember.
