Marina's Rolls Royce Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 We've bought a few. Players who are alleged legends at their previous clubs. Icons. They come to us with a CV which is top drawer and then bomb. Adam El Bad springs to mind from Brighton, Gary O'Neil from Norwich - can anyone think of anyone else?

Silvio Dante Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 One that does spring to mind is Tony Caldwell. 1 in 2 at Bolton, impressive tash, big fee at the time. Ruined him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 I reckon Brentford may have with Ivan Toney. Pity Sir Steve couldn't have put some of his pocket money into buying him for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true and at the time of signing a lot fans thought we were getting a really solid right sided defender who was hard and experienced. It didn’t work out.
