Totally wrong about a player ?

[Guest Dog Chaser]

Peter Crouch - Was really surprised when we brought him, didn't rate him at all. He proved to be a fantastic footballer, excellent technical ability and eye for goal.

[Narsil]

Collymore, thought we'd signed a player who would win us the league on his own he was that good.

 

But, for his first season he was that good. 60 goals from just him and Robbie. The reason we couldn't win the league under Evans wasn't because Collymore wasn't doing his job, but because the likes of Babb, James and Ruddock weren't doing theirs. And I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Paul Ince. The very definition of the failed 'last piece of the jigsaw'.

Carra for me. I thought he was crap and expected him to be sold when Rafa took over. I was also delighted when we bought Diouf...

[RafaLaBamba]

ROBBIE KEANE!!!!:eek:

[robbiefowler9]

Robinhio- twice.

Towards the end of his madrid days, everyone was lamenting him and I thought he was shite.

Then, when he signed for City it seemed I was wrong cos he was playin so well at the start.

However, turns out I was right all along, he is crap!

[Tossed and blown]

Going back a bit, but (Alan?) Irvine, played for us a few times in the mid to late eighties, thought he was the real deal but went back to Scotland and bombed.

 

George Kinkladze looked like he could be a world beater at Southampton 1st time round

Man Citeh, he was boss for a couple of years.

It was Southampton whom he scored the wonderful goal against.

[redmachine23]

Vlad. I was ecstatic when we bought him, turned out he was more limited than I thought. still love him though. Mark Kennedy after the goal he scored against the arse for millwall.

One I was right about was Cisse. Watched him at Anfield for Auxerre moaning, bitching, not moving and generally being a tit. I was in the main stand thinking 'Nope, he's shite'.

Didi, didn't rate him whne we signed him, could not have been more wrong, absolute world class once the penny dropped. One of my fave players of all time. If only Masch had the same footballing brain as he did.

[RobbieOR]

I thought Pelligrino would have been another Gary Mac. But he wasnt.

[Mbrownrigg]

Paul Stewart

 

He was bloody ace in the cup final against Forest that year, he looked just like the midield enforcer we were crying out for.

 

He wasn't, he was a fat permy haired lazy twat.

[bigjohn]

I bet a mate a pint that Torres would not get into double figures his first season...I was expecting him to be another Morientes...I guess I got that one wrong LOL

[Red Mist]

Up until a couple of seasons ago I still felt Lampard won't amount to much. But he is a top class central midfielder, IMO easily Chelsea's most important player.

[Captain]

Cissé. I thought he would be ace, and laughed at what Chelsea paid for the cat piss-haired cunt at the time.

I'll have that one. I won't say it too much, but he's come on over the last few years and apart from his aiming of his shots, he's turned into a brilliant player.

[rargh]

Collymore, thought we'd signed a player who would win us the league on his own he was that good.

 

He WAS that good, he was just lacking the application to realise his ability.

 

When I heard that we were in for Torres, I thought he would be a fancy fanny who would struggle to adapt to English football. I've never been more pleased to eat humble pie in my entire life!

[topkop]

Brandy taylor has great tits!!!!

[Crazyhorse7778]

I used to think Clichy was a top full back.

[topkop]

Babel...when I first saw him I thought wow...here comes the next henry...not just because of the look, but his first couple of games he came out loving being at liverpool and had you could see he had a passion.

 

But then he didn't always have the ball, he got the hump if he was taken off early and then sulked if he didn't get his own way.:(

 

Prime example of too much dollar in the pocket and NO respect for the manager.

[sir roger]

Cissé. I thought he would be ace, and laughed at what Chelsea paid for the cat piss-haired cunt at the time.

 

Reading in the paper this morning that Wenger had a deal for Drogba to get him from Le Mans in 2002 for £100k but pulled out at the last minute as he thought the price was too high !!

 

Not just us on here then.

Got a link to that?

[RyanLFC]

Yossi Benayoun. I fucking love him.

[sir roger]

Got a link to that?

 

Sorry Paul, it was in the Daily Mirror this morning as part of yesterday's game report , but I flung it after I finished reading it.

No worries. It should be online then.

Didi Hamann. The first half of his first season I thought he was rubbish, to my eternal shame. Then suddenly I just understood what he was all about. Legend.

 

i remember in didi's early days here he got loads of stick.i even remember 1 bloke phone roger phillips on radio merseyside, and said his dad would be ashamed that a german was playing for liverpool:whoops:

[Lucky Pierre]

I remember my 2nd ever Liverpool match, and Didi got sent off against us for Newcastle.
