Dobbie definetely.
I don't think anyone can seriously claim Sandanza and KLL were cack for us

Sandaza exceeded expectations massively for me, I'd have taken him into the championship, I'd put good money on him scoring against Palace in the playoffs even if he did nothing else all year.

I thought it was worth giving him a contract, he scores goals, does nothing else but would at least have been an option on the bench.

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.

Not sure we've done players that you were excited about signing but proved to be shit, although we have often done who was Albion's worst ever player threads.

I have to disagree with both your choices, CMS has had flashes of brilliance and Vicente has looked as good as any Albion player I have ever see, especially in his cameos the season before last.

Are we putting CMS in this category yet?

Kazenga LuaLua

You're right, he's totally cack. PATHETIC.

As a matter of interest, do you cheer him when he's brought on as a sub - or are you one of these people who get their kicks out of abusing our own players?

I've watched us sign Jarrett, Holroyd and Carole 3 times yet I still list those two first.

You're right, internationals, one of whom was our top scorer last season and the other who Real Madrid once offered €35 million for must be worse than the three players you mention, who currently play for Bromley, Morecambe and Guiseley respectively.

50K from Kingstonian in 2001 which was a fairly substantial fee for us back then. Managed a measly 10 games for us before being shipped out to Havant and Waterlooville

I actually thought he looked alright when he played but was never given a decent run.
