therealhantsram Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 No question about the worst. Mikkel Beck, deadline day 1999. Was absolutely gutted when I heard we'd signed him. He didn't disappoint. IslandExile, Premier ram, Elwood P Dowd and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each too their own. I thought Ince was a good player with goals with occasional bad days. Losing Martin For Bent and Ibe for a useless Lingaard made the difference for me.

We sold Lee Carsley to Blackburn. Talk about bad day at the office. 🤦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rare that I watch Pointless but in the final of an episode on the other week, they were asking for names of Danish footballers who've played in the Premier League. My immediate answer... Mikkel Beck, and he would indeed have been a Pointless answer to go with being a pointless signing. I did think however that it might be the first time Mikkel Beck could ever have actually been any use to someone. (Jacob Laursen would also have been a jackpot winning answer) Edited September 1, 2023 by Kokosnuss IslandExile, therealhantsram and Mckram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyBritishMidland Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 7 hours ago, Gee SCREAMER !! said: He made six million so there's been worse and I thought he was very good under McLaren. You always have that kind of player in good sides who'll get goals but aren't really a team player. Andy Cole and Van Nistlerooy at United spring to mind. You need the rest of the team to be good enough to facilitate it, which we had for a while. He seemed to lose focus under Wassall and was disappointing against Hull when he came on for Wiemann. That's the only period that springs to mind. Bent turned up 20 pounds overweight and got worse. He didn't offer a lot as his game was all about quick movement to finish and that wasn't evident when he got here as it was gone due to lack of fitness. His actual footballing ability was limited He should have been a 25 goal striker at this level but couldn't seem arsed to shed the weight. Then he cost another 1.5 million as someone forgot his contract option. Ince signed on loan on or around the Jan 2015 deadline day. He signed permanently in the Summer of 2015 after Mel’s takeover when he blew £20M+ gambling on promotion. To be fair, Ince was one of the better deals that we did make money on. 7 hours ago, sage said: Ince was a poor signing in terms of how we played. Ince and Bent were the start of the decline. Not team players. Agree with that, particularly Ince. A frustrating player. The amount of times he shot into row Z rather than playing someone else in who was in a better position.

If he played a part in us not getting promoted, then it wasn't a good financial signing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Wasn't Camron Jerome deadline day and not very good? Although I might just be thinking of disappointment rather than anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I must've got that wrong, I'm sure i remember depressing january deadline under Rowett because I remember i was freezing my balls off with a particually chippy window sampling crew "encouraging me" to give up on Derby County and instead support Rangers all day. For revenge I made bloody sure they dug each hand pit to 1.2m. Edited September 1, 2023 by RadioactiveWaste Mckram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
