    Got to be Lubo, I remember my own disgust at signing a 33 year old nobody. An honourable mention for Tony Mowbray as there would be no huddle without him

    Elhamed is a beast, he’s been a cracking signing so far.

    First to admit his signing was about as underwhelming as you could get as well!

    Varga comes to mind. I don't remember being excited about us signing Hooper aswell, Izzy purely because I didn't know anything about him and where he was playing.

    Somehow missed that. Only looked at the names in bold.

    Mulgrew, Commons, Wanyama and VVD.

    Hoping to add HAE to that aswell can’t say I was excited about him but he’s proved me wrong so far.

    Van Dijk was underwhelming? * sake mate, how high are your standards? Just in the Dutch team of the season, Ajax sniffing about, looked a skillfull monster on youtube.

    Had literally never heard of him. Never watch Dutch footie apart from seeing Ajax in the UCL a few times.

    Don’t think underwhelming can be gauged off of knowing a player.

    I didn’t have a clue who Joao Felix or whatever you call him was but he’s absolutely world class and will be one of the best players in the world within years if not months.

    Agreed!! Was bad timing for the guy with all the other * going on at the time. And then all the drama of he's no a RB * sakes he a CB, he's a utility he's this he's that.

    Having said that you that wee bit of hope we had unearthed another hidden gem.....and you know what....BOOM!!!:67:

    Just me at the time, wasn’t bothered about him and then after his first game was thinking this guys a donkey. Soon changed opinion on him.
