Trying to get away from the doom and gloom with a Football thread. Which players throughout your time were disappointments When you had fairly high expectations or there was hype around their arrival and which players exceeded expectation vs what you thought of them as a signing.
ill kick off, Nathaniel Chalobah on loan from Chelsea was highly disappointing. Big rep following a great spell at Watford but just seemed to have a big ego and did very little.
Patjim Kasami - one of the worst to wear the shirt for me, but was seen as a bit of bright light when we got because of his spell at Fulham. Lazy, cowardly and showed a serious lack of ability.
Guedioura massively exceeded my expectation when we got from Wolves on loan initially. I remember we had no Centre halves after selling Morgan and Cotterill even came out disappointed saying we wanted a defender but he’ll be a body for midfield at least. Turned out to be a real catalyst for helping us stay up.
Antonio obviously.
Andy Reid - think we all thought he was a journeyman that Forest signed for the nostalgia (and lack of money available). First year he had the look of a journeyman for a lot of it, but that second and third year when he got in shape, he looked every bit a premier league player. If he’d shed that weight a few years earlier, he’d have been playing for a top team in my opinion.
