KBB Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Players we had on loan seemed to do alright despite not showing best for us. Others, like lupoli for example, had probably the best part of their career with us. Every signing is a gamble. Bigger and better players have moved to huge clubs, from huge clubs and "flopped" Shevchenko and Torres at Chelsea spring to mind. Aquilani at Liverpool. We have had some dreadful recruitment over the last 5 or so years. Little to no resale value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember watching him for Preston when they knocked us out the 2004/05 playoffs. Big lad, physically imposing, mobile & good in the air...particularly good when we battered them in second leg at PP. He got himself a move to then Premier League Sheff Utd a season later. Was genuinely delighted when we bought him, thinking he'd be an upgrade on Darren Moore & act as the stopper alongside Leacock. Suffice to say he was an absolute disaster but his confidence looked totally shot & can't imagine Jewell's 'man management' made it any better. After Derby, he reunited with Warnock to keep Palace up so demonstrating he wasnt as useless as we all thought. Claude was mainly injured whilst with us and Jewell kept insisting he play.

TomTom92 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Think the best way forward is to come up with a philosophy and recruit accordingly. See Brentford, Swansea and Peterborough. The alternative is spend very little and stick with the same manager for a long period of time. See Nigel Clough. Derby under Mel should be the blueprint for every league club in how not to recruit.

JfR Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Kieran Dowell sticks out for me. Thought he was a very good signing based on how he'd done at Forest, Sheffield United and in the England youth set-up, and he's done well enough at Wigan and Norwich after leaving, but it got to a point here where he was playing like he'd never kicked a ball before.

The Key Club King Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 There's long been a presumption amongst our support that we undersell players but this thread has thrown up very few players that went on to better things (other than loan players). I think the Huddlestone/Rasiak fire sale seems to have stayed with us as our outgoings haven't been bad. Even Will Hughes lost value after moving to Palace from Watford and we thought we were really done over on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EraniosSocks Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Can only think of Loan signings to be fair… Barry Bannan - Was okay here but not a fantastic player, would love him at Derby now days Micheal Keane - Only played a handful of games, was young and a bit unsteady at the time. Jake Livermore - Another one signed on loan when young, didn’t have enough time I suppose but carved out a fantastic career for himself Shoutout to Omar Mascerell, Chris Maguire and Danny Graham Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
