Did anyone actually check that it was him turning up on matchdays, and not his twin brother who’d never kicked a football before..?! bad savage ha! ha! was that a Freudian slip?

Chappers Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 He looked total pants in every appearance, can barely recall him ever controlling the ball. Bournemouth and Brum must be so glad that they didn't blow huge money signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TV Tom Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Got to say that he didn’t look great but I think some are a bit quick to right him off, definitely not match fit when he joined us and only had a few cameo sub appearances, add the fact that his confidence looked shot to bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he looked really quick and strong on that debut, his running in behind appeared to be what we were missing. I agree, I was more than satisfied leaving the AG after the QPR game that we had an exciting player on our hands. My only fear was we'd be missing him for a few games ( at least) after that tackle.

Major Isewater Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Transfermarket show his contract as running out at the end of this month . I don't know how reliable they are. OK , I'm having a bit of a ' Diony ' here , this is City's loan contract . He was signed until June 2021 by Les Verts . At least you all get another chance to admire his hair cut . m Position: Avant centre Contrat jusqu’à: 30.06.2018 Agents: CH Conseil et ... imago Bristol City Championship 4,50 mio. € ≡ Subnavigation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame firmly at LJ and MA’s door for this debacle which basically cost us a place in the playoffs. Still fuming. We’ll lose Joe Bobby and Aden over it too no doubt.

All listed turned out to be worse players that what we signed There many past players that qualify as the worst signing. Most recently El Abd was certainly one.

Up The City! Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 He’s in the same bracket as Carl Hutchings, Steve Jones, Bas Savage etc for me. Just like them I hoped he would come good and I think had he got a goal early on in his loan spell we may have seen the best of him but it wasn’t to be. It was worth the punt but it just didn’t work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123red1 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Our worse signing has to be Andy Smith, he could have played for 10 years in a City shirt and never had a shot let alone a goal. I was amazed he kept getting chances off the bench, I actually thought a fan would do better than him. He seriously was the most useless I've ever seen.

The point of my thread wasn't about rubbish footballers but ones whose careers went up in smoke . Diony , has to be one of the most dramatic, going from a club's record signing to being an expensive embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 More prolonged than dramatic, but Alan Smith's career decline since his first season with United is worth a mention.

He seemed to seriously have not clue what colour we wore. I saw nothing to suggest he was once or ever will be a pro footballer. Not sure whether the problem is in his head but if he showed any ability I probably missed it whilst blinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His farewell game iirc., it was already public knowledge he was on his way. The funny thing was he remained popular despite his misfiring and that double was really celebrated in the stands - a mixture of disbelief and hilarity, which he joined in. A real 'trier' who always played with a smile on his face as I remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
