Mind you, to balance out all these duds we've got good money in for players who we sold and turned out to be crap at their new clubs.

 

Like who?

Like who?

I can't think of many

 

Maybe Sasa Curcic, Arnar Gunlaugsson and Nathan Blake

Ricketts

Per Frandsen at Blackburn. Came back and was ace for us again. :D

Plus Claus Jensen, michael Ricketts, Alan thompson, Andy Todd

back on topic.... Akinora Nishizawa (sic).  frankly bobbins

Roger Hunt

 

Peter Thompson

 

Youri

Don't forget Tomo got an England cap and played in a UEFA Cup Final after leaving us.

Passi.

 

Was a proper European midfielder, though we'd found our general.

 

He was wank.

Maldini's understudy.

 

Got very exited about having someone who had played for Milan in the early 90s. As the internet hadn't made it to breightmet I didn't realise how much of an understudy he was.

Thought Robert fleck would have done well when we got him on loan,didn't work out

Definitely Ngog

Peter Barnes

David Cross

That cnut Jemson

Riga Mustapha. I think we all expected more. Three years and he

Did nowt.

Neil McNab - expected a lot more from him for the money we shelled out.

Neil McNab - expected a lot more from him for the money we shelled out.

And he also said his dad advised him not to come Bolton and that his dad was right he should never of signed. His career was average considering the hype at Spurs.

Ibrahim Ba

Christian Willhelmsson

Salva Ballesta, lazy bastard who took the money.

Something went wrong there, he was top scorer the next season or so in la liga

Djibril Diawara

...Christian Willhelmsson

 

Player's wives you got excited about when we signed?

 

Excited? I duffed in mi keks. :)

Regarding the legend that is Enzo Gambaro, I actually went down to watch the stiffs when he was having his trial match, a player on trial from AC Milan I thought we really had arrived! I think Nottingham Forest had paid (then) serious money for Andrea SIlenzi around that time an' all - both these players proved that every Italian wasn't necessarily a Vialli, Ravanelli, Maldini or Zola, or even a Youthful Youri McAnespie! :)

 

I think it was Emmanual Morini who had all the cloak and dagger false name business surrounding his acquisition as well, not Vaz Te (though I might be wrong).

Dusan Nikolic - Came from Belgrade at about the same time as Tad Nowak came from Poland back in the early 80's I think. Couldnt believe we had convinced a couple of foreigners to come to bolton. Didnt take him long to get back to Yugoslavia. 

Peter Beardsley

 

That's mine too. Was on holiday in Turkey when we signed him & I was well excited.
