TBF you are correct and these were mostly pushed to the back of my mind. Manset had a chant at the training ground if I remember correctly which went semi viral. Proschwitz was wanted permanently I think. McBean was an odd signing and only played two games. Slager was signed by Elvis in the summer after Wilson and Clarke, what a weird time. Was McQuoid involved in the Wilson exchange?
already answered, maybe throw in Andre Wright, the fella who was the driver for another more famous player? There's been many awful players in our "dark ages".
Lateef Elford-Alliyu, was Saido Berahinos driver i think. Dark, dark times.
But ‘he only scores tap ins’ I heard
That's the fella, 1 cup appearance I believe. Dark times
Yeah but his "tap in" radius extends further than most.
You have my deepest sympathy.
Some guy called Anton Robinson(?) also played for us. Actually Delfouneso was an unused substitute
Guess he enjoyed transfer deadline day - lots of overtime!
Not on the list but I was critical of him as didn’t think he suited Lampard especially after the playoff Semi final.I wonder if any of the above has changed his mind about him?
In fairness, the above comments were made in the aftermath of his poor showing in the playoffs.

You missed some great posts from this poster.
I remember being up there for a midweek match and getting beat in the days they had Ricky Holden wearing gloves. Can't remember the score or scorers only that Killer was playing for them and it was bloody cold!

If he scores 20-30 in the league and bags a few in the World Cup, I’d expect the Vik fee as a minimum. Keeping in mind he had a year on his contract
I think hes more valuable to us than the money we could achieve for him due to his age. He's still got good years ahead of him, but he's the same age as Gyokeres and we sold Vik when he was 24 with more potential. I think Wright would get £15m and we couldn't replace him for that.
If we went up with that it would be much more
We don't need to worry about fees really if we get promoted. He'll be staying with us.
Transfer values have gone up since we sold Vik, Haji is only 6 weeks older than Vik and age didn't stop Arsenal paying £60M for him. I appreciate next summer is another year away but clubs will pay a premium for goals.
I wonder if his miraculous return to form has anything to do with the world cup next summer and the USA having competition for strikersI wonder if any of the above has changed his mind about him?

No one is paying anywhere near that if we are still a Championship club and if we aren't we won't be looking to sell anyway.
Near what?
We played them in a league cup match in early 90s, Wegerle was sent off and we lost 2-0. I thought the gloves wearer was Neil Pointon & the Oldham fans called him Psycho like we did with Stuart Pearce. He went to take a throw in & we were singing "Psychos got his gloves on"
Sorry i thought you were suggesting the £60 million figure in your last post. I agree we would get around the fee we sold Vik for probably if he keeps the form up and if we don't get promoted. Him keeping the form up will certainly make us getting promoted more likely though so hopefully its not something we'll even have to consider.
Was more thinking if we weren’t.
I still don't agree. We got £25m for Vik at 24 out of the Championship with greater potential and he went to Arsenal after 2 years in the top Portugese league scoring 100 goals.
