roboto Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 To counter the other thread full of duff signings. I thought I'd create this one to celebrate players that were perfect for us, but not much cop, or didn't perform to the same level elsewhere. I suspect this list won't be as full as the other thread, but hopefully some good memories to be had while we wait for the carrier pigeon to deliver those signed contracts. For me there's a few recent ones I can think of to kick it off: Harry Wilson - not had the same impact at other clubs like he did with us that play-off season. George Thorne - We had the best out of him before the unfortunate injuries ruined what should've been an amazing career ?Craig Bryson - Did alright at Killy against regularly poor opposition, but was a beast for us consistently There's got to be more that you guys can think of.

IslandExile Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Ikechi Anya has done nothing since leaving Derby (apart from counting his money). Stimac and Wanchope didn't shake the earth at West Ham or, in Paulo's case, at Citeh. Chris Martin ....oh wait. Still scoring goals. More controversial: Will Highes hasn't really hit the heights that many expected. Less controversial: Jeff Hendrick has only had an "ok" career.

I think he's done alright, but not looked special like he did for us in that season. We'll see if they stick with him for the Prem campaign or maybe get someone in ahead of him.

Wilson is incredibly gifted in striking a ball, but average in many other regards and would often drift in and out of games. The spectacular players were Tomori and Mount, without whom we would’ve struggled to finish in the top half. rynny, roboto and wixman1884 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Rasiak and Idiakez never hit the same heights as 04/05 again. In fact their careers seemed to follow the same trajectory as soccer am’s popularity. Mihangel, Carl Sagan and Dordogne-Ram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why we paid an extortionate fee. Hughes and Hendrick have both become Premier League players. I'd argue that means they've been decent since Derby.

Yeah, trying to joke about Anya.....and misread the topic as being "since leaving Derby". Hughes and Hendrick have both had "decent" Premier League careers - but, again, I was trying to provoke a bit of an argument. "Decent" is a relative term in this context. I do not think Hughes, in particular, has had the stella career that many had expected. DarkFruitsRam7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
