Which signing is your biggest letdown

[Dr Nowt]

Amazed no-one's said Lallana or Lovren yet.

[Arl arse]

I remember being excited by the signing of Mark Walters, thinking we'd got the new John Barnes......... Poor lad had difficulty not tripping over his own feet, massive let down.

Give it time as Nightcat's busy concocting his next crystal meth-inspired brainfart against the YESMAN.

[Phoenix]

Collymore still scored 28 goals in 64. No a bad record for us.

 

Kewell has to be the big letdown for me.  Thought we had finally got a winger.

[KMD7]

Kewell for me.

I see these old quotes getting a run out again, what an ungrateful peace of shit. He was on a top salary and was probably the most unprofessional player at the club. He made millions while smoking and eating shit food then has the balls to throw it back in our face

 

But related to the question Cisse or Mark Gonzales

[xerxes]

Andy Carroll by a country mile.

He wasn't a let down as anyone with half a brain cell knew he was shit. He was a spineless, lazy cunt who'd push Downing and Carroll for my most hated players of recent times though.

[TheDrowningMan]

They wouldn't be top of my list, but Le Tallec and Pongolle have to be up there, simply because of the GH hyperbole surrounding their arrival. 

[m0e]

Its a joint title imh, involving all the players mentioned in this thread.

[Galactico]

Houllier was terrible for that - those 'two gems', plus Cheyrou, Biscan, Diouf, Diao, Smicer, Traore, every one of those was sold to us as a great acquisition and the entusiastic pursuit of Cisse followed the same lines. After a good start, Houller became a pretty poor judge of players, starting with the 2002 debacle (a warning from history if ever there was one). As he declined, he couldn't even use/keep the good players at his disposal, like Litmanen and Anelka. It's sad that a guy who started so well as our manager lost his way so badly.

[Captain]

GH was never the same after his illness. Just like Babbel, who was as good a right back as this club has ever seen.

Don't talk about the new Zidane, Vieira and Desailly in that vein.

[Trumo]

That was Alou Diarra, who we also signed that summer.

[Jairzinho]

Alou Diarra went on to captain France after leaving us. Bit harsh to lump him in with a man that was Stoke's 47th choice central midfielder a couple of years ago.

[Dr Nowt]

Alou Diarra was a weird one in a number of ways, never played for us and we made £2M on him.

[Mathewbet1]

Robbie fucking keane

[Captain]

Impossible to choose one... If pushed I'd go for Josemi or Konchesky. Horrible players both of them.

Your biggest disappointments? That suggests you were expecting a lot from them. I'd not heard of Josemi before he signed and I already knew Konchesky was shite.

[JohnnyH]

I've taken this question of "biggest letdown" to mean a player you had really high hopes for who then turned out to be shite. For that reason I won't be considering the likes of Koncheskey.....

 

 

EDIT - or what Trumo says above.

[Captain]

Konchesky can't possibly be a let down. Everyone knew he was shite before he arrived.

[El Dangerous]

How many promising full backs have we lost to injuries over the years. Babbel, Jones and Kelly off the top of my head. Cursed.

[Captain]

Add Heggem as well.

[mni]

You're right, I expected nothing from them. They still managed to disappoint to such an extent that they're my biggest letdowns. Putting on the red shirt in competitive games comes with a certain responsibility and minimum expectations. They both failed more than anyone else imo.
