Players you thought were going to be good but turned out to be crap

[WJ99mobile]

Always thought Miguel Comminges was going to be brilliant from nothing more than a few preseason games and some blind hope. Crap

Quincy too when he signed on loan. Looked fantastic on a few YouTube clips. Again garbage

[bobh]

Too many to mention

[islandblue]

Richard Langley
Peter Odemwingie
Federico Macheda
Adam Le Fondre

[NYCBlue]

Too many to mention

This.

[Rjk]

Spencer prior
Robbie Fowler
randomly Martin John
Etien Velikonja (I still think he could have been good)

[Doucas]

Fan Zhiyi.

Young me thought he was going to be amazing, then on his debut he tried to shoot from the halfway line and it went about 40 yards over the bar.

Richard Langley
Peter Odemwingie
Federico Macheda
Adam Le Fondre

Richard Langley is a good one. Had all the skills just didn’t do it.

[2b2bdoo]

Tony Warner, remember thinking he was amazing when we played Millwall but not great for us.

[celticknight]

Lex Immers. Thought he was legit after that loan period.

[The Bloop]

JLloyd Samuel

[Cyncoed Slumdog]

Fatty Foggon.

[City123]

Cornelius

I think that every player that we sign is going to be good, and yet only a few ever are.

That said, there have been a few who we have signed that I thought were rubbish as soon as I saw them (and have always wondered why people who know far better than me, decided to buy them) namely Gary Madine and Richard Langley.

Gerry Francis …. amazed he signed for us, but terrible

I always remember seeing Super Kev in a pre season friendly and thinking wow he’s awful. How wrong I was, brilliant signing.

I may be in the minority of 1 but I liked Jorn Swindendorff. I remember we played Preston at home it may have been New year's day. It was 0 0 at half time. He was subbed at half time and we went on to lose 4 0

I think it was Reading and one of the Reading players broke his leg ?

Chris Casper ?

[tpcnw]

Surprised no one has mentioned the great Ronnie Moore. I saw him score once.

[FormerlyJohnnyBreadhead]

Emyr Huws. Didn't help that Warnock never really gave him a look in but I thought he was going to be a great signing at the time.

After his debut, I thought Steven Thomson was going to be the real deal too (I loved the guy but he was gash). Hoping Hugill doesn't go the same way!

[RichardM]

Jonny Williams

[chrisp_1927]

Des Hamilton. Awful player

I can remember him being announced as 'the black pearl' before one match. 🤣

[Monster munch]

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas.
Wow.
