I couldn't stand Pires either (he just turned up for a final payday) but he was an unbelievable player for Arsenal at his peak. Won POTY in 2002. Yeah people like Joe Cole and Heskey. Robbie Keane was good in his short spell for us but again we could've signed him 10 years before we finally did. I'd add Houllier as manager.

Err yeah I also had Garry Thompson in my head but I dont think Gary was that old when he signed for us, not sure where the Caldwell came from.

turvontour Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 A completely pointless couple of years from Kieron Richardson, other than that header off the line from Gerrard! As usual, I remember Richardson scoring a screamer against us at Villa park probably weeks before we signed him. Needless to say, I don't think he had a short for us. I'll add Steve Stone, although not sure he was at the end, just looked old. Another player that terrorised us in a league game the week before.

turvontour Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Cant remember the year, but I seem to remember that we had a horror side at one stage that contained about 4 or 5 of this type of player, might have been when Blues first came up. The likes of Leonhardsen, Kinsella, Allback, Ronny Johnson etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyvilla Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I remember us signing an Irish centre back from Man U. His knees were shot , he was 30 and he liked a pint .... The rest is history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I would say Keane, but he's still going, 6 years after he signed for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I agree this signing has beens, never wases and never will bes probably gave us a rep amongst players of being a overpaying a easy ride club where you can see out your last year or 2 on more money than you're worth as you were decent sometimes literally 10 years ago. Mcgrath, Laursen and Schmeichel the exceptions as could still play to a high level, although as we saw Laursen eventually bought it and we were probably lucky to get as much football as we did out of him.

On 2/23/2017 at 11:39, Raver50032 said: Yep - he even scored for us He wasn't as decent as people like to remember. He left us because he'd fallen behind Enckleman. Apparently he had it in his contract that he could leave if he was no longer number 1 or something. Anyone who fell behind Enckleman can't have been that good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
