Craig Davies.

I really thought he would bang them in for us as he has everywhere else in his career wrong place at the wrong time or just shit, I guess we will never know.

This. I remember being really excited that we'd signed them.

Liam Brady recommendation I believe, who wouldn't have been excited back in those days? A South American striker rated highly by the Arsenal youth team coach who was a legend when here?

I'll second that vote, thought he was going to be quality. Great shout with Dirk Lehmann as well by someone else.

This! He wore stripy shorts, he ran funny and he didn't score goals. After a glorious season of Mikey Small Farrington was a hideous letdown

Kitson - although we never really got the chance to find out if he was cack, as he was permanently broken !

Waiting for someone to say CMS...

In recent times, I can think of Stephen Dobbie, Ryan Harley (I thought he'd be brilliant, especially after his goal vs Posh), Christian Baz, etc.

Were you really excited when we signed two unknown players from Argentina? I honestly thought they would be plop and well they were.

When we signed Dobbie I was gutted, A lot of people on here seemed happy with it and I couldnt understand why apart from a couple of Youtube clips.

Harley was never an exciting signing, just another midfielder who might be alright.

It was more that I was shocked that the poster considered the player to be cack!
