[TimeyWimey]

For Crewe:
Honourable Mentions to Andy White, Vadaine Oliver, Scott Shearer, Wayne Collins (second spell) and Bradden Inman (permanent spell)

Missed Scott McManus. Signed from non-league, was a complete idiot, disappeared off the face of the earth. He played some first team games then suddenly literally no mention of him ever again, was never even said he had left the club. Went on to beat up his girlfriend and play for Halifax.

I think Elding, Ugarte & Suhaj are the kings of this thread though. What an era.

RB - Henry McKop - Someone On Drugs....

In place of Nicky Hunt? Not a chance, Hunt is the worst player I have seen play for us and I am sure I am not alone on that one.

 

[Crewealexfan123]

If Cedric Baseya, Cameron Park, Mesca and Aman Verma had played for us for longer they would have ended up in this thread without a shadow of a doubt.

Baseya, so bad he was funny.

He's the prime example when it comes to Steve Holland the manager and Steve Holland the academy genius, Premier League and Champions League winner, Jose Mourinho's right hand man. I love Holland to bits for (nearly) everything he did for us but jesus, management wasn't for him.

 

[Cardsfan]

Shwan Jalal - I don't know where the fuck we found him but he was shit.

Ben Futcher - Signed from Lincoln. Horse shit and nothing but. One of big Keef's awful signings.
Exodus Geohaghan - He has a long throw. That's literally all he's good for. Worst player I've ever seen. Signed from Kettering.
Ricardo Santos - I don't care about his last four games (minus Sheffield away where he fucked up) he is absolute crap. Signed from Thurrock.

Jimmy Gnachiem - Signed from a pub team and was very much a pub player. Don't even think he plays anymore.
Dominic Green - Signed from Dagenham for £150k. They mugged us off there. Utter crap.
Danny Swanson - Signed from Dundee. Shouldn't have bothered. Useless, good for nothing waste of a wage.
Sergio Torres - Signed from Wycombe and always did well against us. Was nothing but shit for us.

Scott Rendell - Came with a high reputation from Cambridge. Left as a useless lump.
Rene Howe - Fat, overweight lump signed from Kettering. Shite.
Tyrone Barnett - He's very fortunate that Exodus Geohaghan exists cause otherwise he would be the worst footballer I've ever seen. We actually paid £1.1m for him. He genuinely did fuck all. Unbelievable.

You are fucking dead to me

Think we had another loanee in the same season that was diabolical from Blackpool. Could be wrong.

And no management certainly wasn't for Holland bless him but at least he didn't take a punt on marlon broomes unlike thordarson.


 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

I loved Mesca, completely talentless and even though he was hilariously shit he ran like a headless chicken and scored a tap in vs Carlisle and went off celebrating like he won the World Cup. What a player.

Marlon Broomes, will never forgive that tosser when he handballed for the Clayheads on the line against us. Then he put in a series of diabolical displays.

I tended to exclude the loanees but let's have George Evans, Danny Haynes, Keith Briggs, Simon Walton, Harry Worley, Andy Bond, Michael Symes and Allan Smart on there shall we?

 

[Crewealexfan123]

Dennis Lawrence? Mike Newell? Billy Bodin?

Stuart Thurgood - Bruce Inkango - Barry Miller

Andy White - Antonio German - Steve Hislop

Potent.

 

[Super_horns]

For Crewe:



CM: Jamie Moralee - Signed from a Watford side who were relegated to League One, the former £450K player failed to score a single goal for us and was gash and very weak. Now Rio Ferdinand's agent.

)

Was a massive waste of 450k for us as well!

Apart from Nathan Ellington probably the worse money spent (baring in mind it was quite a bit at the time)

.

Broomes was terrible for us as well.

 

[Indian Dan]

We had Broomes on loan from Blackburn and made his league debut for us.

Scored an absolute screamer against Birmingham

[TTOCS]

Woolford is the most wrongly maligned player I know, absolutely nothing wrong with him. Nick Carle was excellent and sold for a million on the back of his performances. Also Saborio, completely unlucky as opposed to a bad player, you only have to look at his career since.

I can remember other willing but crap players like Andy Smith and Guy Madjo.

 

[SF_]

I always thought Woolford was a pretty decent player

 

[hodge]

Do loan players count if so Danny Rose....

 

[Double J]

Nick Carle was excellent and sold for a million on the back of his performances.

Sold to Palace? I'm sure it was him who completely tore us a new one at Deepdale.
Everything they did ran through him, was a class act that day. If of course I'm on about the correct player.

Yes, that is the bloke. I was gutted when he left.

We bought him for 500k, sold him for a million 6 months later so he clearly has no place on this thread.

Carle?!? He was outstanding, gutted when we sold him. I always thought one of the only reasons he was sold was because Gary couldn't fit Lee into the team whilst he was here. Elliott Parish was also hardly bad either, made one error against Orient. Apart from that was a steady keeper for us

So now we're naming players who we never actually signed...

 

[Di Phelpsio]

So much potential here with the shower of shite Swindon has produced over the past 20 years. From what I've seen, this is what I would go with:

GK: Mattia Lanzano. Brought from the Italian 4th division to oust the popular playoff hero Phil 'Barmy Army' Smith from the number 1 spot. Spent most of the game pointing and being a pointless shot stopper. Him being so shit was a blessing in disguise as we signed Foderingham to replace him.

LB: Yinka Casal. Signed from holland for six figures, was shit and had a fact haircut.
CB: Hasney Aljofree. Spent his time at Swindon starting fights with the fans.
CB: Alberto Comazzi. Had the pace Of a turtle and a worse turning circle than an oil tanker, got paid a bomb too by the Paolo brigade.
RB: Franklin Anzite: who?


CM: Lillian Nalis. Hard as nails we were told, absolute passenger.
CM: Ali N'Diaye, an ever present at palace with Paul Hart, was testament to Paul Harts management abilities
CM: David Prutton: what a pile of shite this journeyman was, used to flick his hair quite nicely but that's as good as it got.


ST: Hamdi Razak: signed from French lower league, don't think he touched the ball once but assaulted everyone in his path.
ST: Thomas Dossevi! Only player I've ever seen at Swindon who had a Mustang, had a worldy on his friendly debut against Nottm Forest. Wilson would have been crucified had he not signed him but his favourite destination was off side and was allergic to the goal net.
ST: Elliot Benyon: How do you solve a problem like replacing Charlie Austin....

 

[Crewelad87]

For Crewe:

GK: Rhys Taylor - 'Flapper' as I called him was a diabolical keeper and acted like he made the big-time being a Chelsea Youth GK. Now plying his trade at Macclesfield Town after a series of keeping mistakes eventually cost us a concrete playoff place.

RB: Darren Moss - We paid £170K to Shrewsbury for this utter waste of space. A shocking player who wasn't fit for purpose in the Championship or League One, ended up playing for Nantwich Town where he couldn't hold a regular place and Bangor City.

CB: Danny O'Donnell - O'Donkey, signed from Liverpool for a fee of up to £300K, was a key part of the squad that ended up going from mid-table League One to lower half of League Two thanks to his ineptitude, released, ended up at Shrewsbury then Stockport where he couldn't even make their team in the Conference North. Now living in Australia.

CB: Thierry Audel - Signed from Macclesfield for a nominal fee. Barely played but was shit. Loaned to Lincoln. Given a second chance this season. Barely played but was shit. Loaned to Lincoln. Lincoln sent him back. Released. Went back to Macclesfield.

LB: Anthony Tonkin - We paid £150K to Stockport for the LB version of Darren Moss. Eventually ended up at Yeovil, Oxford and in the non league with Aldershot.

RM: Joel Grant - Wasn't too bad but we did pay £130K to Aldershot for him and he definitely wasn't worth the fee. Very lazy footballer who had bags of talent but didn't know how to apply it with us.

CM: Antoni Sarcevic - Signed from Woodley Sports for a small fee. Had a horrendous attitude problem. He was overweight, unfit and didn't like running. Did have potential but tended to miss sitters when he was included in the side. Sold to Chester after a training ground bust-up with Davis and Baker and he's now at Fleetwood and I saw the gobshite was sent off again against Chesterfield for mouthing off.

CM: Jamie Moralee - Signed from a Watford side who were relegated to League One, the former £450K player failed to score a single goal for us and was gash and very weak. Now Rio Ferdinand's agent.

LM: Lee Molyneux - Contentious one, signed from Accrington with a bit of fanfare given his knack for scoring goals. In his defence he was a LB but Davis tried to convert him into some lower league Gareth Bale when he lacked pace. Molyneux and the Dull one didn't see eye to eye and he was a disruptive influence in the dressing room. Currently preparing for a Conference tour with Micky Adams and Tranmere.

ST: Anthony Elding - £200K for a work-shy, talentless, idle bugger. Possibly one of the worst players I've ever seen play for us. Three year contract was cancelled after about 15 months.

ST: Pavol Suhaj - Signed from AS Trencin in Slovakia, was pitiful, the lowlight being a lone striker in a 6-1 crushing against Cardiff. Released and subsequently couldn't make the Nantwich Town team in the Northern Premier League. Bit of a cult hero unlike the rest.

Subs:

GK: Bartek Fogler - Don't know who we even signed him from but he never played a game, just a few appearances on the bench. Often seen in Bar Seven down Nanny Road the night before a game.

SUB: Mike West - £30-£35K signing from Ebbsfleet, seemed to be okay but wasn't worth the money due to constantly being in our treatment room. Looked very weak.

SUB: Steven Schumacher - Signed from Bradford on a free but was on a decent wage. Was absolutely crocked for two years and never looked like the player he became at Bury. Personally thought he was a poor signing but I know some fans will disagree with me on this one. Now at Fleetwood with gobshite.

SUB: Rob Wakenshaw - The original Crewe flop, signed from Rochdale with previous experience from Everton back when they won the title with one of the best squads in the history of football. 1 goal in 22 games later he was shown the door.

SUB: Calvin Zola - Tranmere must've pissed themselves that they got £200K for this talent deprived lump. Useless footballer now residing in the Stevenage treatment room.

SUB: Juan Ugarte - Signed on a free from Wrexham where he achieved infamy for scoring 5 in a game vs Hartlepool. Was a crock for us though and retired through injury.

SUB: Lee Matthews - Pathetic crocked forward signed on a free from Port Vale. He failed to score for us and was duly released.

Honourable Mentions to Andy White, Vadaine Oliver, Scott Shearer, Wayne Collins (second spell) and Bradden Inman (permanent spell)

I was so excited when we signed Juan Ugarte from Wrexham, he seemed to score 3 or 4 every week for them. He went on holiday had a surfing accident or something came back overweight and just generally useless, never been seen since I don't think.

 

[The Hand of Dom]

You are fucking dead to me

I would say I care but I don't know who you are.

 

[Cardsfan]

I would say I care but I don't know who you are.

 

[City169]

So now we're naming players who we never actually signed...

To be fair, it was a done deal, until he went against the clubs terms by playing a game while we waited for a permit

 

[Heisenberg20]

Carle?!? He was outstanding, gutted when we sold him. I always thought one of the only reasons he was sold was because Gary couldn't fit Lee into the team whilst he was here. Elliott Parish was also hardly bad either, made one error against Orient. Apart from that was a steady keeper for us

Dont know what you were watching, he wasnt very good hence why he was sold to Palace and did very little since.
Elliot Parrish was simply in the team because there wasnt too many keepers to choose from

 

[TTOCS]

Oh come on Heisenberg, he's probably in our top 5 highest ever transfer fees received.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Dont know what you were watching, he wasnt very good hence why he was sold to Palace and did very little since.
Elliot Parrish was simply in the team because there wasnt too many keepers to choose from

I was clearly watching the same Nick Carle as TTOCS, and even Palace who, in 17 league games for us saw fit to pay £1 million for him. He also did well there. You really think they would've paid £1 million if he was as bad as you're making out? I've already mentioned why I think he was sold, GJ wanted Lee in the side and Carle was keeping him out. Great player.
