ScoutMan Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 Best few interms of value: Steve Walsh £110.000 from Wigan. Speaks for itself. Neil Lennon £750.000 sold for (I think) £5.75M after 1 Promotion and 2 League Cups. Les Ferdinand Free. 29 Games/12 Goals not bad for a team relegated. Mark Draper £1.250.000. Sold for a £2.000.000 profit. David Connolly £500.000 from West Ham. Should have score more goals but still eventually got £3.000.000 for him from Wigan. Worst for value: Arnar Gunnlaugsson £2.000.000 from Bolton. After 30 appearances in nearly 4 years and only 3 goals (although 1 beauty) left for free. Darren Eadie £3.000.000 from Norwich. Although gave his best, always injured 40 games 2 goals in nearly 4 years. Retired through injury. Matt Jones £3.000.000 from Leeds. Another injury prone signing 27 games, 1 goal in nearly 4 years. Retired through injury but few years later played for Llanelli in Wales. Graham Fenton £1.100.000 from Blackburn. Never seamed interested but fell out with Martin O'Neill. Left on a free after 34/3 in 3 years. Dennis Wise £1.600.000. Public Enemy No.1. Left for free. Best Loans: Kevin Campbell from Arsenal 11/5. Mark Davies from Wolves. Way to good for league 1. Tom Cleverley Man Utd. Class now England International. Worst: Franz Carr useless why a permanent deal? (£100.000) Michael Johnson injury prone, lazy paid a loan fee for his services. Luigi Glombard. Poor. 1 game in about 5/6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutMan Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 If you are going back that far, how can you leave Muzzy off the list? £650,000. Quiet correct a real bargin, but we didnt make any money on Izzet at the age of 27, when he was worth at least £2.000.000 then. I was just looking at transfer fee (if any), age, profit and success.

Mike the Metal Ed Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 Luigi Glombard. Poor. 1 game in about 5/6 months. Some of our loanees can go one better than that... Marco Ferreira, Adda Djeziri, Alan Fettis (cover while Flowers was injured, to be fair), probably some others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langston Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 On the radio a while back, John Gregory said that he was after Izzet to maintain a good start Villa had had to the season, apparently we weren't playing on that one and demanded a shedload, rightly so. Matt Elliott for £1.5m (?) wasn't a bad piece of business either all in all - excellent top-flight centre half that scored some crucial goals for us.

crisp monster Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 Best - Keller, Tags, Elliot, Pontus, Lennon,Muzzy, Cottee, Guppy Current crop look full of potential hard to judge them yet The Jim Melrose for Tommy English with cov and the Orm and Gee from Derby in exchange for Paul Kitson pissed me off something rotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 Worst: Peter Gilbert Joe Hamill Mark De Vries Momo Sylla Rab Douglas Stephen Hughes Craig Levein's scouting network was horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49er Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 Best loan signing - Marcus Bent ought to get a mention. Did a decent job for us. Going back to 1982/83 - Gerry Daly. He was the main reason why we went on a fifteen match unbeaten run that ended in promotion. Worst signing - Tommy English in a swap that took Jim Melrose to Coventry.

Very true - from what I can remember! Didn't Eddie Kelly come in and galvanize the team at some point? 70's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 I'm not sure if people are allowing their dislike for players to cloud their posts. Beckford was very good in the cup run we had as he always is. Mills couldn't pass for shit but his actually defending wasn't all that bad I don't think. We have had several worse strikers than Beckford- Hayles and offside DJ for two Mills wasn't that bad if he was able to play a short ball! Neilson was miles worse than Peltier!

crisp monster Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 I think it's to do with value for money as well. Trevor Benjamin ( another crap one) was about 1.6 million - Tony Cottee was a freebie ( I think) from Malaysia Hayles wasn't good but nobody expected too much then as the club didn't have a pot to piss in Becks came in when the club was throwing it about and the expectations were higher And boy did he disappoint!

I thought Nielsen was a pretty solid full back. Rubbish with the ball though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from being at fault for a lot of goals. A red card and a few penalties conceded. Yeah other that. Coupled with his inablity to pass and accept he maybe at fault. Mills was great.
