Noticed we get a few mentions in the Times for worst signings in the premier league. The headline referenced Hateley, so thought yep, 100%, but no, they were actually talking about when we sold him back to Rangers in 96/97 - didn’t even realise the guy could walk by then. But surely the reporter should have been more on the ball with how poor he was for us and one of the worst signings we ever made rather than the 4 games for Rangers he played.
Is big Mark worthy of one of the worst premier league signings? Or am I being a bit harsh as he was following Les so was never going to be that good? |  | | |  |

Dalian Atkinson, Brian Deane, Roy Wegerle (re-signing), Niall Quinn would have all been ideal to shoulder the load for a season after Les left. |  | | |

For info the QPR bit says All QPR signings Summer transfer window (2012) and includes:
Júlio César
José Bosingwa
Andy Johnson
Rob Green
Ryan Nelson
Junior Hoilett
Esteban Granero
Bosingwa was the worst by a CÚNTry mile. |  |

Nelson was decent, even if he left far too early. | | | |

I seem to recall Hateley sarcastically cupping his ear when he scored his first goal for us without the aid of his fcking crutches, pretty certain it was the equalizer at home to Huddersfield in the FA cup, that done It for me with the bloke, I had no time for the bloke anyway.
What used to niggle and baffle me was the signing of Simon Osborn, on the few occasions I saw him play I thought he was very good especially up at Bolton (one of our rare away wins that season), Just couldn't work out why he got so little game time, a very neat and tidy player but seldom used.

He was a direct replacement for Ray Wilkins in midfield, and the manager preferred Ray Wilkins. |  |

Seem to remember he always played well when he returned to LR with Wolves.

Not sure of the timing but Kevin Campbell or Dion Dublin may have been options as LF replacement. |  |

Could maybe have gambled on Fjortoft from Swindon he was the Division One top scorer that season but think Kevin Campbell would've been a good replacement. Dublin is a Midlands boy but would have been ideal | | | |
