westenclosure2008 794 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Not sure everyone gets the op. Are we talking signings you didn’t expect to be good but turned out to be good? If so, Steven Davis for me. At first I thought we’d signed Simon David the winger and was excited. I then heard it was Steven Davis, never heard of him unless we were talking about the snooker player. One of the best all round midfielders to dawn the jersey in the last 20 years.

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Going by YouTube Mervin Celik looked awesome, turns out he was dugshite. Remembered being underwhelmed by the signing of cuellar as knew nothing of him, but he was dynamite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's not to understand about it? underwhelming means you were a bit meh or unhappy with the signing, made an impact means they did well/done a job ... and vice-versa means the opposite to it i.e players you thought would be good signings and weren't?

Then saw the pics of him at Airport and thought either he on the protein or wearing several layers. He couldn't run more than a few yards without looking like his head would explode.

I'm reluctant to name guys like Rozentael, Prodan, Michael Ball and Thern as they suffered bad injuries and it wasn't really their fault they never made an impact - talent never in question too, additionally.

I'l give you 10 years though I’ve maybe been a bit generous with the years but could have played alongside any of those guys without looking out of place. Would obviously take those you mention above him though. Reina is a good example of an underwhelming signing for me anyway. Didn’t know much about him but what a player.

Did you go to the beach today to enjoy the sun and came home with some sand in your vagina? I worded the topic correctly, people are answering correctly but some are saying who they thought were also let down's (Thern and Salenko) it's not exactly a crime and it's related to the thread ... plus you worded your comment at me like I'm a retard that can't create an accurate thread to the title ya wet blouse.
