We’ve had ‘best’, ‘worst’, ‘average’ - which player disappointed you the most?

[Bears 792]

Negri cos he promised so much.

LOL 

Nicoll called him for what he was, Jimmy told me that personally sitting next him on a train from Queent st to Haymarket, Jimmy still stays in Fife, been lucky enough to meet him a few times and in the same company, caretaker manager for 3 games in that brutal end, ALVES was the biggest con of the LOT on the way back up, frightening the money he was on, complete disheartened bastard who made a good career of being a hardy bastard

Did you honestly just say “lol”. You’re one for the watch list.

[Gaffbear 4,096]

Nuno Capucho promised class and produced hee haw .

[BlueVanguard 6,606]

Francis Jeffers.

Had a big price tag on him and a decent reputation. after some failed loan moves i thought the Scottish game would have suited the " fox in the box " but sadly another shite signing.

Was a bit disappointed with Frank De Boer. Thought he'd light it up here and he didn't really.

Was struggling for fitness. Would liked to have seen him play alongside Henning Berg.

[McEwan's Lager 30,499]

Julien Rodriguez, Jerome Rothen and Cristian Nerlinger are three I'd have in the disappointing basket.

Nerlinger showed he was a class act now and again but he was just done physically and never played more than a handful of games at a time because of his knee. 

Rodriguez and Rothen were both players I really liked when they were at Monaco and got to the final of the Champions League but both never did it here. I thought Rodriguez would have been helped by PLG coming in but I don't think he played much?

Still got a medal in Seville but.

[Swally 6,289]

don't think players like rozental should be included here

i remember being hugely disappointed when he fucked his knee, but it happens and not the player's fault

so was more disappointed with the bad luck of it all instead of being disappointed in the player.

[Moody Blue Legend 61,387]

Didn't expect Jeffers to be as shite as he was.

This. Maybe brutal's too far, but definitely a let down.

Typical smith though, boli played a man marker and usually in a back 3 for marseilles, we signed him and for a while shunted him to right back 😂😂

They did, quite a few times did they not,

I thought Berg was mostly injured when de Boer came in? I'd need to look it up.

[McEwan's Lager 30,499]

@Jimbeamjunior only played together in 3 league games by the looks of it. De Boer mainly partnered Khizanishvili as I think Moore was injured towards the end of the season as well. 

Edit: and the OF game at Parkhead in the cup.

Same, i have a weird feeling they played together against Dundee at dens park, might be mistaken though

03/04 in general was grim. Barry, Numan, Amoruso, Numan, McCann and Caniggia out the door to be replaced by Ostenstad, Capucho, Vanoli and Emerson all in the worst, cheaply made strip we have ever had. Definitely felt like the end of an era back then.

[King Jela 20,360]

Diouf. Can actually remember papaguy, must have been 8-9 years ago, summed him up perfrctly. Nicer guy than I thought, worse player though. 

Beattie was another one, thought he'd do well. 

Barton. Rossiter. Jerome Rotten. 

[raging blue 1972 894]

Most disappointed with

Salenko - biggest shitebag ever

Capucho - probably the worst signing ever as didn't try a fuck

Guivarch - as per Capucho

Rothen - couldn't believe how shite he became

Boli - Just didn't settle

Clement - just didn't fancy it

Negri - what an absolute waste

Flo - £12m for not a lot back

Most disappointed for

Mols, Rosenthal, Prodan and Durrant - horrific injuries destroyed their careers.

Duncan Ferguson  - hung out to dry

He was ok ,nowt special but was on the wind down big time .

Biggest disappointing one for me over the years Jonas Thern .Watched as good a performance anybody has done against Scotland in recent memory .When he signed for us he never came anywhere close to that .

People say mccoist had it hard as gaffer, look at what eck had to do, essentially told to dismantle a treble winning team and rebuild with loans and freebies, the man still got us 2 CL group campaigns and a last 16 berth as well

If i remember correctly, between ecks first full season and when he left, the debt was down by 30million quid, in that time he won 2 leagues, 2 league cups and a scottish cup plus made the CL groups twice with one time getting to the last 16 (a season which we played 10 euro games and only lost once) 

[miracle 7,789]

I thought Van Vossen was a major coup...   Kanchelskis was OK but a shadow of the player he was at Man U.
