Most disappointing ITFC signings? 20:05 - Aug 24 with 7603 viewsBlueandTruesince82

It has been suggested to me that judging Harper as once such example is heavy but I maintain what we got vs what we thought we were getting makes it an entirely justified statement

I would include on my list

Lee Martin
Paul Taylor
Nigel Reo Coker
Sam Parkin
Adrian Paz

Any other contenders for Towns most disappointing (not worst) signing?

Ulrich Le Pen - not his fault, only disappointing as I bet pre-injury Burley had found another gem.

If you Google images of Ulrich Le Pen, he looks like someone has drawn Reuser from memory.

I get why Chopra is on the list but he did score goals.

Finidi perhaps

Has to be Lee Martin.

Big profile manager going back to his big club to nab one of their bright young talents. Only it turned out to be Lee Martin.

Honourable mention to Veliče Šumulikoski. Macedonian Gerrard my arse.

I always bundle Le Pen in the same category as Amir Karic - a player that Palace had on loan from us, but sent back after just one or two games. I think I remember that right anyway!

Otherwise:

Slater
Harper
Hladky
Paz
Parkin
Norris (considering the chase and cost)
Martin

Jaime Peters - given the way the signing was both so trumpeted and so dragged out.

Sereni - in view of the return on such a large investment and how good he could have been.

Finidi - in that he wasn't the man to turn the ship around.

And several one-season strikers whose one season wasn't with us.

Jimmy bullard. Anazing on loan but did nothing once we signed him. Emmanuel thomas always disappointed as well

JET is a good shout, clearly had the ability to be a top player at the highest level. Bullard as well hugely underwhelming and on a massive salary.

Harsh on JET. Did well enough in his first year and then along came MM - that was never going to work. Not a dig, just reality.

If Le Pen is being counted then Civelli should too.

Slater always springs to mind for these.

Nobody gone for Adam Proudlock?

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

A tad unfair on Parkin who was played as a target man when in fact he was much more of a fox-in-the-box type of striker.

For me Stuart Slater was a massive disappointment

Didn't JET hit the woodwork like a dozen or so times in his first season as he was hitting anything from distance

For me got to be Vemund Brekke Skard

Harper is the stand out of recent recruits. But a bit further back I can’t see past Lee Martin. Even further back I’d go for Stuart Slater, or perhaps Kevin O'Callaghan. I know he played in some big games, but for me he never kicked on like we hoped he would.

Very very harsh on Civelli - he was playing very well but then had a horrible injury - then had Keane as a manager.

I feel a bit harsh on Lee Martin, he had a couple of good prolonged spells in side and when Jewell came in alongside Bullard was instrumental in getting us up the table

Then finally a proper manager Mick trusted him to and played a lot before he left - much more disappointing signings than him in last couple of years

Tommy Oar - had the pedigree and the opportunity and just didn't take it.

Andy Marshall - you should never cross the divide but he cost us massively whether it was his fault or the fans who barracked him into a vicious cycle, it was a pivotal moment in our demise.

Malarczyk - thought we'd signed some Eastern European Rolls Royce hard bastard but we got a gutless Lada.
