San Fran Van Rams Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 For me that's just a long list of disappointing players with only a few of stand out performers: Chris Powell - can only just remember Chris Powell but was a quality acquisition Marco Reich - always liked him when he played under GB Leon Osman - great little player whose gone on to big things with Everton The rest have just been a disappointing waste of money, IMO. The jury is still out whether Dawkins and Bamford will be up there with the three above... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK47 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Burleys transfers were probably the most exciting in recent times IMO. I remember Reich's free kick against millwall, great goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have put Savage in there, but I count more than pure appearances. Ben Davies has actually scored some pretty important goals for us and has made much more of a positive impact. I could have also highlighted Stephen Pearson for his play-off final goal. I personally left him out because of the goal. If only he'd missed it, we wouldn't have gone through all that misery... Other than that, I don't think there's much more controversy in my selections. That's 7 out of 41 - and I'm being generous. This club is so, so, SO crap at January transfer windows. Not sure how Steve could possibly not do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think saying all of them were a waste of money is abit harsh because I can remember afew of the other players being useful at some time or another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just don't get why Chris Powell was rated a good player for us. Never thought he was any good to be honest just never warmed to him. But wow there is some dross on there! I also think Tongue wasn't a bad signing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Chris Powell, was an exceptional player for us...and for England..! The rest... wow, what a bunch of chumps.....from the whole list I would only have Powell, Osman and Jones...the rest were all truly awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuespachRam Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I would also argue that although every one on here hates him and always blames his January transfer window for almost stopping us getting promotion, that me Davies did reasonably well with Tyrone mears, jones, Pearson and even fagan making a difference.

Mears' one good game was at Wembley, which isn't a bad place to have your one good game. Jones was average but will always remember that free kick v Wednesday in the dying seconds, another undeserved 1-0 win. Pearson, possibly one of the finest signings ever (in the category of players that looked great somewhere else but were actually rubbish) Fagan, nothing good to say about him at all Of the others Macken barely featured, McEveley should have stayed in Rocky IV, which means by default, Gary Teale turns out to be Billy's best January buy!

MuespachRam Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Go home Muespach, you're drunk. Premier League season aside, he was brilliant. Brilliant..? he was a very very average "stopper" and during the last half of the season we went up he was a total liability, every team we played against targetted him as the weak point and he was hammered most days. Believe me i am no fan of Dean Leacok at all, but he covered for him so many times. just because someone will put their head in front of a tank doesnt make them a good player.

But wow there is some dross on there! I also think Tongue wasn't a bad signing either. You didn't think Chris Powell was any good but thought Tonge was decent?! Guess it's all about opinions, innit.

Asanovic Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Never understood the Pearson bashing. Honestly thought he wasn't that bad - not great, infact pretty average, but some of the bile thrown at him both on here and during a match was baffling. Thought he was ok.

In our promotion season he was in the PFA team of the year...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
