Player you were excited that we'd signed but turned out to be cack

[Sergei's Celebration]

Kevin McLeod and David Livermore.

I didn't think McLeod was cack. He had 1 too many pizza and kebab sandwiches in his second pre season but i thought he was alight in his first season.

Were you really excited when we signed two unknown players from Argentina?

INCREDIBLY excited. In my mind, it was basically the same as West Ham signing Tevez and Mascherano.

-G. Smith

Presume he means this one[/url]

That would make sense! I had erased that fiasco from my brain.

He was truly awful. That udders game was an absolute joke. Watch all 7 here from this time (1.39):

 

[brakespear]

Still Graeme Smith.

Also Livermore and Robbie Savage.

 

[Durlston]

Paul Kitson.

He'd played for Premier League clubs like Newcastle and West Ham, was a proven goalscorer but never looked interested apart from a Friday night match at Reading on Sky, where he scored a cracker.

Graeme Smith was the goalkeeper in SPL's highest scoring league game of all time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motherwell_6–6_Hibernian

Couple that with the 5 goals he conceded on his debut for us, he must be a nomination for one of the worst goalkeeper's of all time.

He has to be up there, i remember Virgo or Elphick going absolutely bat-sh%& crazy at him while the game was still in open play, i actually felt a bit sorry for him after a while. Just found this on the BBC site, think we should have realised it was going to be a mauling:

38:45 Substitution
(Brighton) makes a substitution, with Graeme Smith coming on for Jamie Smith.
41:08 Booking
Graeme Smith receives a caution.
42:02 GOAL - Lee Novak
Huddersfield 3 - 1 Brighton
Lee Novak scores a placed penalty. Huddersfield 3-1 Brighton.

Mark Farrington

I don't think anyone was excited about the signing of Mark Farrington except Barry Lloyd.

Jason Peake , big money ( at the time ) signing from Rochdale

 

[Silk]

Ivor Gislasun

Wasn't he Doc Cox from "That's life"?

Fair enough. I can see why you would have been a little let down.

beaten to it.

[Durlston]

Jason Peake , big money ( at the time ) signing from Rochdale

I did wonder where the money came from at that time. Maybe the Kurt Nogan fee?

He was disappointing and never settled down south.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Paul Kitson.

He'd played for Premier League clubs like Newcastle and West Ham, was a proven goalscorer but never looked interested apart from a Friday night match at Reading on Sky, where he scored a cracker.

I used to see him driving into the car park at home fixtures. He would always be smartly dressed & he'd sit in his car for about an hour talking on his mobile. Then, at about kick-off time, he'd fire his motor up & bugger off! Most peculiar scenes.

Paul Kitson

Robbie Savage

Wasn't he Doc Cox from "That's life"?

 

[Simon Morgan]

Liam Dickenson and Stephen Dobbie

 

[Husty]

We've done this before, McSmudger and Vicente.

Aside from that obvious pair I was personally very excited about Crofts return but he was very disappointing last year, hopefully will rectify it this year.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Fair enough. I can see why you would have been a little let down.

Granted I had heard of both Tevez and Mascherano before thet signed for West Ham, but the concept of us signing two young players from Argentina was just too exciting not to draw parallells!
