rastan Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Selling Shearer. ya i agree in 1 way, but it was not that bad as we got the biggest transfer fee for a player at the time so in that sense it was good business 15 mill, if he hadnt left then; all clubs would have kept coming in for him until eventualy he;d have left us anyway so the money we received was good business under those circumstances. how often do u c good players go on strike or sulk these days so they can leave the club and end up going for much less than they could have cos the mnager is fed up with them etc?

Eddie Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Probably Grabbi. Expensive fee, no return. I'm still one of those that thinks he had a bit of talent and that it could have all worked out had things not gone the way that they did, but it would certainly be between him and Davies for me.

OhmiBRFC Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 He looked good Grabbi espically against utd and I fully expected him to do well, I think alot of it was a confidence thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasta Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Grabbie, Davies, Blake, Ward I always argue against Blake as being one of the worst purchases we made. He managed 16 goals 45 appearances at a goal every 2.8 games. Dickov was only 15 goals in 44. Yes I know he cost us 4.25million but, unlike Grabbi and Davies, at least we got some sort of return for our money. I'm not saying he was good but theres no way he's the worst.

Wolverine Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Selling Speedie. Buying Dahlin. Not for his contribution but it didn't half cost us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjathunder Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) Matty Holmes I'd second that as the worst close-season transfer activity. Champions League football on offer to attract the best talent in football (when the Champions League was still the exclusive reserve of the champions) and that's who we got. Jack Walker's one great mistake. Edited September 19, 2006 by Tooting Rover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyRover Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 God there are so many to mention, but the likes of Grabbi, Ward, Davies and Blake are up there with the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Rover Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Grabbie, Davies, Blake, Ward GOVERNMENT HEALTH WARNING! Under no circumstances add up the total of those transfer fee's.

rovers4ever95 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Grabbi or Davies for the amount of money spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1mattjansen Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 With the money from those four, we could have bought Wright-Phillips, Essien or Drogba in today's market....Now i don't feel all that bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohelger Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Corrado Grabbi and Kevin Davies - close race; Rovers paid around 7 million for each of them and got nothing for the money. Together, they're almost the money from the Shearer sale down the drain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neekoy Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 You might as well add Kevin Davies for players that were crap but then left and made good. Another way is Sutton and Duff who were very good but left and did bugger all at Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radagast Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Its really got to be Davies, hasn't it? He cost about half a million more than Grabbi (£6.7m->£7.25m), so that's my justification. The money we paid for him and Blake was indicitave of how crazy football was going between the late 90s and early 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPT KAYOS Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 For players who left and then came good, Patrik Andersson springs to mind for me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrik_Andersson Beat me to it As for supposed to be good but kak - Per Frandsen springs to mind (Emerton would have been here but he has redeemed himself slightly lately) Ward & Dahlin but I didn't rate them as any good before they came anyway. How anybody can call Blake is strange - he might not have been the best but he wasn't the worst Based on terms of money it has to be Grabbi/Davies - with Grabbi probably nicking it due to the fact Souness only ever saw him play on Video Players that shouldn't have left for whatever - Garner/Sellars/Hendry/Sutton/Speedie/Duff/Dunn/Berg/Barker ......
