Marney comes to mind there too. It wasn't that long after Martin Jol had said "Dean is probably one of the best footballers if you look at him pound for pound - he can shoot, he can pass, he's got good stamina."
Of course they were - the Jimmy Bullard who almost single-handedly kep Fulham up was hell of a player ......... the **** we got was a knackered, total waste of space.
We all know that when we signed him he got injured in his first match but when he came back from injury he was fantastic. He then got injured again at Villa and when he came back from that injury he looked scared of any physical contact. That's without even considering what he did off the pitch.
He was indeed, we bought him injured and Brownie brought him off the bench still injured - a fair, but crunching tackle, from Scott Parker ................... the rest has been done to death.
