    Busted Flush Signings

    The worst ones I can remember were under Dave Jones

    Lots of fanfare but within a few games .......oh dear

    Robbie Fowler

    Kevin Campbell

    Trevor Sinclair

    And not cheap either

    No he isn't

    We were paying BIG wages for those players

    They didn't do anything

    Even Jimmy Floyd flattered to deceive......another huge earner

    Sinclair played 26 times scored 2 goals and made 2 assists. Campbell played in 19 games and at the age of 37 wasn't brought in to be our main striker, and as such wasn't on BIG wages, I know as I was his accountant. Was a great influence on an otherwise young team in particularly to Chopra, who was on fire.

    Sinclair did next to nothing , Campbell even less


    Jones also said that these old heads had a great affect on the dressing room and the younger players

    Which of course he had to as they wernt scoring goals and doing much and in the case of sinclair and Fowler out injured and out drinking and scoffing kebabs

    Think you mean to Cameron Jerome. Chopra joined us the following season.

    I don't. Jerome left us the season before - when Redrow was sponsor. Kev Campbell came in for the next season - when Comms Direct sponsored us, and Chopra came on loan.

    I would remove those Getty images to save Mike Morris being stiffed. That company is incredibly aggressive regarding use of their images and they fire off expensive bills to websites that use them. Such is the technology at their disposal, you can crop, stretch, invert and mirror-image just a part of one of their photos and they will still find it.

    Macheda?

    Re: Busted Flush Signings

    Actually I see he scored 6 goals for us. I always remember him as useless though.

    Re: Busted Flush Signings

    Sinclair and JFH did a job.

    Le Fondre
    Zaha
    Ravel Morrison
    Drinkwater (who looked good for a few games)


    Why’s this in here?

    Zaha was pretty crap for us, but I wouldn't describe him as a busted flush at that point

    He’d ripped the championship up at palace and that got him the United move. I was expecting more, and look how he’s turned out. Cracking player.
