flytrap Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Joe Colbeck all the way. To think we paid money for him... Honorable mention for Mark Hotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 We had a few in Joe Royle's days that on coming in you thought "He's going to bag thousands for us" and after watching him play a few matches you then thought "He just can't be arsed. Can he? Yeah, talking about you Paul fucking Moulden and David fucking Currie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemboy Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Colbeck.Spoke to a former chairman who said Royle had told Penney that he should go for Jordan Rhodes who he could have got from Ipswich for the same money but Penney thought Colbeck was a far better proposition. God there are loads when you look back!!!!!!!??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield came in at the last minute and blew us out of the water with a bid of around £300k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, a £60k loss on Joe Colbeck feels like a kick in the balls, even before recalling the memory of seeing him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottantuno Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Didn't we sign Neil MacDonald for around £500K who did sweet f.a for a player with a good pedigree at the time? Probably not the worst player, but not far off the worst value for money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dread to think if we had signed him how much of a pittance we would have let him go for ? Therefore its probably best we never did !

This was the same time we brought in a number of players who were from the Jewish faith. I've no issues with any players faith if they are good enough but I'm not sure it should've dictated our transfer policy as it appeared to during Penney's stint.

Fillery had a great debut for us until we played Hull City away when Leigh Palin produced one of the worst tackles that I have seen on a pitch. Studs up on his standing knee finished his career that day, that alone should keep his name well away from this debate. He only played two games for us.
