In the wake of the Cleverley signed ( I am reserving judgement as he isn as bad as we all think, he's not that good either, & is similar to most of our midfielders in that he doesn seem to find a killer ball an assist or many goals) I thought i'd throw a list of signings we didn want who turned out ok & vice versa
S**t list
Nic Alexandersson - delighted when we signed him. Was awful lightweight no end product, useless!
John Collins - Outshone by Olly Dacourt & Don Hutchison, never moved the ball quick enough and played his better games when he was leavin or as emergency right back.
Simon Davies - Enough said.
Alex Nyarko - compared to Vieria, how?
Stephen Hughes- a few goals against watford one a ehoppin free kick that got us back in a cup tie, one in an easy home win, waste of money that was given away halfway into a 3yr deal.
Richard Wright- remember one great save at home to blackburn, nothin else! Fell out the loft then hurt hinself on a sign that stated he couldn train where he was training.
John Heitinga - maybe a shock to some peopl, but he had one good season the rest was a lot of mistakes and gifted goals to opposition, although if we had a 25 year old him now he'd fit right in.

Surprising
Darron Gibson - Better player than we all thought, just never fit.
James McCarthy- so many people thought we wasted money, they were wrong.
Landon Donovan- again, much better quality than most thought, we were all desperate to keep him
Aaron Lennon- Same as the others.

Theres a few as I need to run, but the point is now we have cleverley we should get behind him & not give him grief straight away, just be worried he isn replacing

Good post, worth thinking about, we will have to wait and see. I will get behind the lad until I have a reason to dislike him in a blue shirt
