Have I missed anyone?

What's our hit rate?
(think it will always be riskier with forwards/strikers which most of these are tbf)

Suppose we have to realise that we never get to hear about the signing failures at perceived succesful clubs such as Brentford and Brighton.
It's easy to get wound up and frustrated if you only read the headlines.

Suppose ANYTHING is better than spunking the cash on big money failures
Lose Lose
Assombolonga/Fletcher/Savile/Braffwaite :mad:

PS I'll always have a soft spot for Emnes because of that winner he scored at the dirties
 
Millsy, Ha Ha I was thinking about him.
One of my match mates said I always had it in for him :D
Suppose it was just so gutting to lose our proper right back.
£6m in, £3m out. Not good times :(
 
If we included loans on that list it would be a heck of a lot longer.
Who was that winger we signed that didn't play at all (Huddersfield IIRC)????

Also one more for the list
Guedirola or whatever he was called from Watford
But he was just a **** signing, very experienced so not really reportable

Stick to the list!!! We are looking for unproven permanent projects only
 
Akpom wasn't a project. He was our "number 1" target (allegedly, depending what mood Warnock was in) and one of our top earners. Not sure Lath will be seen as a project either. Arguably Gilbert, Morgan and Silvera fall into the project category though.

There's probably been loads over the years. Was Moreno the first though?

Marinelli definitely one.
 
I'm not convinced about Marinelli - was he really/ever first team ready?
Wasn't he a bit more 'one for the future' which is a slight tangent????

Now I like Browne, think he did have a bit of an EFL career behind him. But he's a candidate for sure!
 
Wildschut classic!
Couldn't believe he went on to sign for Norwich for something like £7m later in his career.
I was at Rotherham (I think) when he scored an absolutely briliiant goal

Wildschut is still playing - for Oxford - coincidentally with Marcus Browne.
