Didn't think Karic or Paz were particularly expensive, were they?

Bit unfair on LePen, he didn't get long enough to demonstrate if he was going to fail or not. Likewise Civelli, he was starting to look like a bit of a player when he got injured.

Indeed. The very unloveable Paul Taylor.
Expensive failures 12.

Ulrich was more unfortunate so didn't include him.

Sereni started incredibly but when he asked to dropped for game it all unravelled spectacularly if I remember correctly?

I know that was then, but it could be again..

I know that purchase prices are small relatively, but the likes of Sam Parkin and Kevin Lisbie deserve a mention because at the time we were scraping together all our pennies for the likes of them.

Also David Norris - Norris wasn't a flop as such, he was a £300,000 player who we paid about £2 million for.

Maybe add Tom Adeyemi in?

I know there was no fee, but must've been an expensive contract. Cost per game must have been fairly high.

Civelli would have been a good player for us if it wasn’t for that horrific injury.

To be fair to Parkin didn’t we use him as a target man when in truth he was more of a fox-in-the-box type of player?

Lee Martin played a lot of games for us so probably wasn’t a failure as such.

No way Serini was an expensive failure, he was MOM in most games up until Christmas, the rot set in when he was replaced by Marshall, who was a very poor keeper in comparison. Yes I recall he asked for a break in a cup game and GB never forgave him for that. I remember during the warm up one day Serini was just putting the ball past Marshall every time, Malcolm Webster soon put a stop that happening again.

According to wikipedia we signed the Macedonian Stevie G for about 650k and sold him to Preston for 400k, so not that bad, really.
