But turned out to be completely bobbins...

 

Neil Cox and Robbie Elliot.

 

I thought we had seriously made the big time when signed them.

 

One broke his leg in his 4th game,one had curly hair and was shit.

Definitely Jardel

Peter Beardsley

Steve Fulton.

Lardel, and Ibrahim Ba.

Jeff Chandler when he returned to Bolton, did his knee ligaments straight away was out for 12 months, he returned to come on as sub score a goal with all of Burnden singing "Chandler is back, Chandler is back ohh ohh etc" then he just fizzled out 

Got excited when we made all those signings like Wilhelmsson, Braaten, even the likes of Alonso and Cid (!) thinking we'd unearthed some gems or some players that were going to turn us into some sort of exciting side with an attacking style of play.

 

Wrong.

 

Jardel probably the one for me though, could not believe we'd signed him and then he turned out to be an utter floozy

Dean Holdsworth - record transfer, thought we had signed a goal machine.

Peter Beardsley

Boom!

 

Forgot all about him...remember leaping around the house when it came up on teletext!

 

All went down hill after Barnsley away.

Sammy Lee

Len Cantello

Brian Pilkington

when we signed Cid on a pre contract in Jan, was then over in Bordeuax in the May and took in a game - was talking to their fans pre match and asked if he was any good, they were raving about him, then said good as we'd signed him etc and they knew nothing about it and look genuinely gutted, so after that, had high hopes

 

great shout on Robert Fleck, takes me back does that, he didn't even want to sign for us but Chelsea made him something - think his 1 and only goal was NY Day v Notts County

Elliot would've been good if it wasn't for the leg break

 

I'm convinced

 

Agreed. In fact me and a mate were on about that in the pub on Sunday.

 

Akin Bulent was one for me. Given a first team squad number if memory serves me right and then nowt happened. For all his successes, Sam didn't half sign some shite.

Wasn't that something to do with brown envelopes wadded with cash?

Asa Hartford. First time in years that we'd actually signed someone i'd heard of.

Jardel is easily my biggest disappoinment in a signing. I knew all about his insane goalscoring record, and got I told we had signed him I went straight to the club shop to get Jardel 13 on my shirt.

 

Fucking fat cunt, he was so out of shape it was embarrasing

Paul Comstive!!

 

Remember asking Burnley fans at school about him and they being gutted he was leaving as they seriously rated him. Ummmm.....

What was his name?The Mexican Striker?That was disappointing for me.Only played a couple of times.His name fucking eludes me and I get him mixed up with that fat cunt Jardel

Akin Bulent was one for me.

 

Did we sign the wrong bloke or something?

 

I'm sure Carlos was telling me about that once

What was his name?The Mexican Striker?That was disappointing for me.Only played a couple of times.His name fucking eludes me and I get him mixed up with that fat cunt Jardel

 

Jahred Borghetti

Jared Borgetti.

Jareed Borgeetti

Aye that's the guy.Came with a great reputation.Wasn't his nickname fox in the box or something like that

Fucking desert fox.My memory is getting worse and I'm only 44.Just had to Wiki that

Ha I got interviewed for Mexican or Spanish Tele after a game about Borghetti. Almost famous.
