Gokhan Inler. Thought that guy would be a midfield general for us. 

Heard his wife and young child had found it hard to settle in Leicestershire and found it hard to adjust.

Yeah, there was that.

 

Plus, he was shit.

[murphy]

I say.

 

I hear that Benkovic is a bit of a disappointment.

 

Yes, he's a Filip flop.

Kalac, somewhat 

He was for us and yet somehow ended up signing for AC Milan. But will always be remembered for one of the best subs MON ever made in one game.

[What the Fuchs?]

He might prove me wrong next season, but Ghezzal?

 

I remember there being a lot of hype around Hossein Kaebi and Diomansy Camara, though I cant say I remember much of them, and that’s probably a bad thing ?

That FA cup appearance was v Millwall IIRC

[filbertway]

Dion Dublin had a massive flop according to various podcasts I've listened to

Inler wasn't "shit". There's a difference between a bad player and a flop. The likes of Josh Low were "shit".

[Guest bss9401]

My word you could easily have a thread for each position.  Starting with goalies: Kalac, Douglas, Logan, RRZ and dodgy Hodgy immediately spring to mind.

This. The true flops are the ones coming in on big money or for big money....

 

akinbiyi and beckford are the two that spring to mind for me.

I wouldn't call Kermogrant a flop, he was unknown to this Country and our fan base at the time, it's not as if it was someone like Matt Mills who had the reputation of being a superb player at that level.

I think that play off penalty miss added to his goalscoring record would say otherwise.

Yeah I was pissed off as we all were for months with that penalty miss but for me that doesn't put him in the "flop" category. Not like, as I mentioned, Matt Mills and the players such as Beckford at £4m. Even Waghorn when we bought him was a flop, he did nothing and ended up being sent out to Hull on loan.

Yeh I guess if we are talking a flop as someone who we spent a lot on and/or had a big reputation then maybe not Kermogant. Hes still a gimp though for that penalty miss 

[Stadt]

Bednar.

[WestLothianFox]

Mo Sylla, Alan Maybury, Mark De Vries, Stephen Hughes

 

we really did sign some sh1t back in those days

In hindsight if he had scored the penalty and we won the play offs would we of gone on and won the league when we did?

Thats a bit harsh. Didn't he get injured on his debut and miss the rest of the season for it? You never know what might have been had he stayed fit

Blasphemy

Basically any player for whom a large transfer fee was involved. We never do well out of our big money buys. All our best players are absolute bargains.

Maddison, Ricardo.

The fees for Kasper andJV were considered pretty large of their time and at the stage of the club’s development

Possibly not but still didn't stop me from being very annoyed at the time. Nobody would have forseen us winning the prem whilst we were losing a play off semi final penalty shoot out.
