Del 667 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I am currently having a debate with a few english mates and they are all quick to point out players that were really good in the SPL that bombed in the English Championship and Premier League. I was trying to think of players who have been the opposite, where they have been good down south buy garbage up here! Anyone suggest some players?

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 James Beattie, off the top of my head. Roy Keane and Robbie Keane. I think that's enough to get started. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goianegra 4,684 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Michael Ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Barton, Senderos, Gayle, Bernard, Diouf, Beattie, Emerson, Jeffers, Ostenstad, Muscat, Myhre, Roy Keane, Ljungberg, Wright, Gravesen, Ross Wallace, Virgo, Blinker, Whelan, Kamara, Wilson, Henchoz, Gray, Hedman, Dublin, Loovens, Camara, Arguably Ross McCormack and Charlie Adam to an extent but you could argue they never got much chance, maybe John Fleck but similar, maybe Alex Rae in parts, maybe Ball although probably more to do with the fact he got injured a lot and cost a lot. Arguably Kanchelskis to a lesser extent and because his reputation was so high and he maybe didn't quite reach those heights. He was a bit hit and miss IMO. Maybe Berkovic, There's been loads although I admit a few are open to debate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was a flop really, did contribute well in the side but just wasn't consistent enough. I think he got what the club was all about, and seemed to enjoy his time with us.

JukeBoxJohn 3,060 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Wasn't Oliver Bernard decent at Newcastle? Could be wrong but I'm sure he played for them in the Champions league etc. Was abysmal with us from memory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Thomas Gravesen, in terms of stellar reputation he was an undeniable flop. I'm going for Flo as an obvious choice, but I actually thought that if we stuck with him for another season we might have seen a lot more from him - that situation could have been managed better.
