Overseas signings (1 Viewer)

[Grendel]

Having a chat with someone down the pub tonight and we reckon in our premier league days at least 90% of outlet overseas signings were total rubbish. Other then ndlouv, possibly hadji and Roland neilson we are struggling with anyone decent. Plenty of tripe though!

Roy Wegerle and Chippo? I would also put forward Isaias, I thought he had ability that we just didn't use.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Robbie Keane, George Boateng....come on, I suspect there's a few out there if you try (you'll soon retract your hypothesis!!)

 

[RedSalmon]

Magnus Headman? Always thought he was a decent signing.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Dimi Kontsat

Dimi Konstatnop

Didne Kopmostopalo

Nah.....he was sh^t

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Jose Perdomo? He was decent.

 

[dongonzalos]

Big mo.......

 

[dongonzalos]

Hedman
Neilson Mo lalas Jarni
Boatang Hadji Chippo Jones
Wegglie Ndlove

 

[stupot07]

Do players like Wegerle count, he'd already been playing English football for 6 years prior to signing for us, the better test would be considering those who either joined straight from overseas teams or have very little English football experienced.

Soltvedt, Ndlovu, boateng, Hedman....I would exclude Nilsson as he's already had 4 years experience with Wednesday

 

[dongonzalos]

Isias .....

 

[Grendel]

Hedman
Neilson Mo lalas Jarni
Boatang Hadji Chippo Jones
Wegglie Ndlove

Point proven! Jones?! Chippo was here to keep hadji company, Jarni is being a WUM, Isaias wasn't a centre half, konjic was crap and Wegerle a makeweight for Gallagher.

Robbie Keane, George Boateng....come on, I suspect there's a few out there if you try (you'll soon retract your hypothesis!!)

Forgot boatang - Keane I don't count.

 

[Grendel]

The main point is most were poor;

Abromovic
Jol
Van Gool
Kaiser
Isaias
Perdomo
That Russian Gould signed
Clement
Norman
Them two from Central America that Richardson signed
Zuniga
Moldovan
Konjic (sorry he was crap)
All those goalkeepers after relegation

The list could go on an on

How dare you? Chippo was legend!

 

[Grendel]

How dare you? Chippo was legend!

At what?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I remember when legend Trifan Ivanov was on trial...a mistake that we never signed the Bulgarian legend.

 

[Grendel]

Who was the hapless centre half who made a debut at old Trafford?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Alex Evtushok...I believe we were scouting Svechenko but Milan beat is to it...so we took Alex

 

[henry the wasp]

Hedman
Neilson Mo lalas Jarni
Boatang Hadji Chippo Jones
Wegglie Ndlove

Lalas?

 

[letsallsingtogether]

fuck me I agree with you the thing is most clubs of our stature could easily have a list that long inseters is even longer.

The main point is most were poor;

Abromovic
Jol
Van Gool
Kaiser
Isaias
Perdomo
That Russian Gould signed
Clement
Norman
Them two from Central America that Richardson signed
Zuniga
Moldovan
Konjic (sorry he was crap)

The list could go on an on

 

[Grendel]

In genuinely intrigued to know if Dongle this Cobi Jones was a good player.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Trond Egil Soldvelt...

Lovely curly hair...

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Andy Goram...

Aka slim jim

 

[ccfcway]

In the premier league in the 90's I disagree I think the vast majority of better players were British.

 

[slyblue57]

Roger van Gool !
So far in advance of our playersat the time.
Pusb

Trond Egil Soldvelt...

I met Trond a couple of times - a geniunely nice guy.

Not really. He replaced ray Graydon and it was downhill all the way.

 

[Rusty Trombone]

I thought Safri was a quality player, even though I'd forgotten about him until the other day. Very popular at Norwich as well. Just went about his business in a quiet efficient way.

To be fair he was OK

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Patrick Suffo believe he was at the Alvis last year and still not that old.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

What about Gunner has anyone mentioned him was good on his day.

Isasis was a midfielder Lalas was a centre half.

Mo scrapped player of season?

 

[ccfcway]

in our 1990 squad, we had a 35 man squad, Jose Perdomo was the only overseas player !
