Are we markedly any worse than other clubs?
I thought he was excellent in the first St Andrew's season.When Dabo was rated ie in league 1/the start of the championship, was he over-rated? I’m not so sure.
Im pretty sure by the end everyone knew he should’ve been finished with us. I don’t remember people saying he was fantastic; ruined yes. They might still have loved him but that’s not the same.
Me too.I thought he was excellent in the first St Andrew's season.
Also a lot of his crosses were floaty so hard to head in. Decent player though.I’m desperate to think of someone who fits the bill…
I’m gonna say Brian Borrows…that’s right! That’s one of my all time favourite players, Brian Borrows!
I’ve heard people saying he should’ve played loads of games for England. I’m gonna say he was ever so slightly too weak and too easily knocked off the ball. For evidence see David Platt’s goal vs us at highfield Rd.
I hate myself.
30 odd goals in over 170 appearances. He was the definition of inconsistent.Ndlovu scored frequently. He also got a few goals for us.
PS Emerson, before that Sheffield Wednesday wanker crocked him was seen as potentially Brian Robson's successor in the England Squad (and that is ITK)
Drinkall scored every where else though. A terrific striker who just didn't do it for us for whatever reason. That doesn't make him overrated, just crap for us.Has to be Kevin Drinkall and Chris Chilton.
Two strikers who couldn't score in a brothel.
Marquee signings as well, what a waste of money.

Dabo was voted player of the season when we got promoted from L1. He got injured right away in the Championship and his career was over. So sadForgot about Dabo, he was terrible mostly but people loved it.

Chilton got injured early on and never recovered. Drinkell was a piss head who was in the pub in Kenilworth before Highfield Rd had emptied on match day.Drinkall scored every where else though.

Another career derailed by late period Ron Atkinson. Ndlovu was class. Think Big Ron switched him from centre to wing reducing his goal threat.30 odd goals in over 170 appearances. He was the definition of inconsistent.
He had good moments in his first two seasons with us in the championship but gradually declined. For example he played well in our wins against Fulham in 2021/22.Was my favourite Cov player when he was with us, but he really did only have like one and a half good seasons.
After his injuries, he could hardly run
He could never play well on a heavy pitch but at the start and end of the season he was usually on fire.30 odd goals in over 170 appearances. He was the definition of inconsistent.
Considering what we paid for him was a very significant sum at the time, I think he's our worst ever signing.Drinkall scored every where else though. A terrific striker who just didn't do it for us for whatever reason. That doesn't make him overrated, just crap for us.
I have 2 words for you…Keith O’Neill.Considering what we paid for him was a very significant sum at the time, I think he's our worst ever signing.
Whatever he was before, he was dross when he came to us.
Definitely two words.I have 2 words for you…Keith O’Neill.
Edit: if indeed that is 2 words? Hmmm.

I didn't actually say he was. I said I thought him our worst ever signing.Everybody knows he flopped for us and our fans don't hold him in reverence, so how is he over rated.
As I said he scored at every club he was at before joining us so he didn't arrive over rated.
I accept he is probably out most disappointing - but not over rated.
Not overrated but useless. Paul Edwards looked petrified every time the ball got near him. I remember Oggy giving him hell on the pitch. Anyone remember him?
In my mind we spent £900k on Drinkell and a few mil on O’Neil. Let’s be honest, both shite. Althogh I did see Drinkell score a couple of decent goals…vs Utd and…er…Grimsby. Who actually think would’ve been half decent back then.Definitely two words.
Drinkell was almost the same price 10+ years earlier, though. I still rate him as worse.
The Greg Downs ‘upgrade’.Not overrated but useless. Paul Edwards looked petrified every time the ball got near him. I remember Oggy giving him hell on the pitch. Anyone remember him?
Yes he was abysmal.Not overrated but useless. Paul Edwards looked petrified every time the ball got near him. I remember Oggy giving him hell on the pitch. Anyone remember him?
