    I think Lassad goals and assists to minute ratio was actually very good. Tbh he had hooper, stokes, samaras and miku to compete with for 2 striking positions.

    Thought he'd be a star but he was *: Mo Bangura

    Thought he'd be * but he was a star: can't think of any off the top of my head. Griffiths maybe.

    Mines are mostly negatives mostly because of teams we signed players from Crosas Braafheid etc. I completely thought would be stars. Having not known who Boruc and signings from more obscure leagues I was pleasantly surprised by them.

    Before we beat the huns 5-1 in 98. Who the * is this cheap option Moravcik? And how old??

    My first OF.

    Commons and Griffiths from more recent times is a great shout.

    Leigh Griffiths is the prime example. Scott McDonald underwhelmed me when announced and proved to be excellent. Kris Commons also


    I had really high hopes for Zurawski, didn't quite happen. Juarez too.

    Crosas and Ki were two others. Neither of them were bad, Ki should be seen as a success but I thought both would be absolute stars. Ki in particular

    I thought Zheng Zhi was going to be far better for us than he was, think I must have seen every game he won MOTM for at Charlton!

    Agree with Musonda, @Keano88, thought he was going to be decent.

    I didn't think there was any point in signing Paul Hartley, at the time.

    I thought Donati and Crosas would have done better for us.
