Kevin drinkall 1 million surely most expensive flop.
Im confused. Kitching and Thomas played awful and i wake up to a post digging out wolfenden for being on the bench
No.Let's see if I can help you, Wolfenden had a bad game, dropped, Brau had a bad game, dropped, Kitching had a bad game, will he be dropped?
I think the point being made was less about experience and more about the overall celing of his ability.15 Prem appearances, 55 in the championship.. Is that not enough experience? I don't get your point
Viorel Moldovan must be up there. Wasn't he about £4.5M (£10M plus in today's money) for 10 league games and 2 goals? If we'd got that return out of Haji Wright for £7.7M we'd be claiming he was our biggest expensive flop.
Yeah I rated Moldovan to be fairYeah but one of them was against Villa so worth ten times as much.
Wasn’t Moldovans fault Hucks and Dublin were unstoppable tbf.
Have a look at the team we put out at Wrexham. Unfair to judge anyone on that..other games, he has done okay. Hardly played, Franks decision. He has played a lot of games. At least 50 plus, in the Championship, 15 Prem league. Weren't Kitching and Thomas from league 1?I think the point being made was less about experience and more about the overall celing of his ability.
It's not his fault, but Woolfenden was a 4 million + signing and is reportedly one of the top earners at the club. Based on what we have seen of him in games he has started (Wrexham being one example), it's hard to say he is justifying his price tag and wages.
Or even Thomas had a stupid 3 match ban, came straight back in and had a bad game…. Will he be stopped?Let's see if I can help you, Wolfenden had a bad game, dropped, Brau had a bad game, dropped, Kitching had a bad game, will he be dropped?
The candidates for biggest wastes of money are long and painful and Woolfenden wouldn’t even feature:
Drinkell
Evtushok
Bellamy
Robertson
Pressley
Hughes
Etc etc
If I am remembering correctly, didn't Gordon Strachan say something along the lines of that Sandy Robertson was tactically poor. Unable to track back or something?The candidates for biggest wastes of money are long and painful and Woolfenden wouldn’t even feature:

He came with quite a reputation and we didn’t sign a lot of players at that time do maybe he had a bit of unreasonable expectation. Safe to say he didn’t live up to it.If I am remembering correctly, didn't Gordon Strachan say something along the lines of that Sandy Robertson was tactically poor. Unable to track back or something?
Think he just dumped him in the reserves didn't he

When Bobby Gould first came to manage us he bought in Peake, Bennett, Gynn, Adams, Pearce, Platnauer and Gibson, then Oggy and Borrows the next season too, but ironically the marquee signing that cost the most money in that first Summer was Ashley Grimes who was awful.
Larry Lloyd. We spent British (even world?) records transfer fee for him - then we had to sell him to Forest for a quarter of what we paid and then oddly he started to bother to play football again
Didnt Don Mackay sign Borrows?
KkH was still injured that’s why Milan was still player while recovering from the fluI'm surprised KKH didn't come in for Milan during the spell of games where we had illness and a depleted squad (unless he was also unwell.
Especially as MVE also looked absolutely battered for a bit
But he scored the goal for our first win at villa park, worth every pennyViorel Moldovan must be up there. Wasn't he about £4.5M (£10M plus in today's money) for 10 league games and 2 goals? If we'd got that return out of Haji Wright for £7.7M we'd be claiming he was our biggest expensive flop.
That was my first ever away game!But he scored the goal for our first win at villa park, worth every penny
As well as the Villa goal, which was worth his fee alone, I think we sold him for pretty much what we paid.Viorel Moldovan must be up there. Wasn't he about £4.5M (£10M plus in today's money) for 10 league games and 2 goals? If we'd got that return out of Haji Wright for £7.7M we'd be claiming he was our biggest expensive flop.
Just because:

First son is due to be born this year at the start of June so if he’s early and we go up we could have a contender.
