Players who have proven you wrong

Postby Pantmawr Bluebird » Thu Apr 08, 2021 7:22 am

Lets be honest, City have signed a few players over the years that have been huge let downs

Which players did you think were below par signings that actually turned out to be decent?

Mine are Gyepes, Hudson, Danny Ward, Adomah, Quinn, Brian Murphy

And who have we signed that you were excited about but ended up being useless?

Koumas (2nd spell), Madine, Quincy Owusu-Abeyie, Fowler, Lambert. The list could go on :laughing6:

I didn’t expect a lot from Peter Whittingham when we signed him.

Couldn’t have been more wrong.

Why did you think Ralls would be really good? Didn't we sign him as a 16 year old from non league Aldershots youth team? Considering where he came from he has actually turned out to be really good. I would have to agree the most unexpectedly good signing we have made in recent years is Jay Bothroyd. Would maybe put McCormack and Chopra in that category too.
