Players who signed for boro

I couldn't believe we paid £5m for Nicky Barmby, I thought he was overrated, was some serious money back then.
 
Woodgate, when fit, was the best centre back I’ve seen play for us. His reading of the game and timing of headers was unreal.

Absolutely, wasn't expecting even 50% of what he did here.
Hence , I was amazed we signed him. Felt like a recipe for disaster, and it wasn't
 
Grant Leadbitter.

Not that I thought he would be “rubbish” as such, was just a bit…meh….about his signing and thought we could have got someone better. I also had an Ipswich supporting friend who said that he was nothing special.

I was very, very, very wrong. What an incredible signing he turned out to be.
 
Another shout for Dimi - initial thought was "Hartlepool reject, will never get on the pitch" but fcuk me, what a legend!
 
The ultimate one has to be Chuba doesn't it? his redemption arc from somebody that nobody would of been @resed about leaving on a free pre season to.... well we all know what happened next :love:
