Rev Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 As simple as the the title says, who is the best player we've signed under Mel's tenure. My lad reckons it's Badly Johnson, but surely there's a more deserving candidate out there? Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Paul Ince? Matej Vydra? Bielik? Jack Marriott before we ruined him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tibbs Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Vydra was pretty good, got us into the play offs. We also made a profit on a hefty transfer fee too, up there for most successful transfer in this time frame surely. r_wilcockson, jono, Jram and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OoooMarkWright Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Some have worked out ok, without being great. Ince - did well for us, scored a fair few. Sold for decent price. Vydra - terrible first season. Great final season. Was class. Baird - As above. Cheap. Came good in the end. A depressing top 3! jono and Rev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great performances. If only we had him now, we might retain some possession up front. I'm doubting myself that Mel was here now. Can't be arsed to Google it, either.

I think his decision to play Gold Cup and Copa America for Jamaica in the summer Clement arrived did for him. Norman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were POTY and sold for a good profit. My pick would be Ince as he delivered over more than one season. DCFC1388 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got pretty much all of them there. Probably Carson and Pearce, who was always dependable, on frees. Thorne for a couple of years. Bielik may not be great based on his injury record and cost depending how it's being paid. Mount if you can have loans. cosmic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Jerome was alright for a million. Definitely gave us another dimension and was surprisingly quick. Remember him smashing the crap out of Cardiff in the snowed off rearrangement . Haven't really had that nasty physicality as an option since. Could have done with him tonight. Didn't he start at Birmingham ? no surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 There's a few we got good value out of without ever being amazing, Andi Weimann for example, of Darren Bent on a loan then free (granted his wages probably weren't good value) Realistically though, it's got to be Ince. And ol' Snakie insisted on selling him to get captain Tom in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While both were individually good footballers the side that played the best football since Jim Smith were composed of team players like Martin, Hughes, Hendrick, Russell, Bryson, Dawkins and Ward. Beautiful football. ariotofmyown, sage and May Contain Nuts 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowett signing Wisdom, Davies, Ledley, Huddlestone, Lawrence and Jerome all on over £30k per week saw our wage bill balloon up to £40m. I guess it really depends on what we define as the best signing. Matej Vydra is the best player we have signed. Tom Ince statistically contributed the most and we made the biggest profit on him. Davies has definitely been an excellent servant though. IslandExile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
