Had a few exciting signings in recent seasons: Kewell and Torres are probably the biggest two though. One has so far lived upto his potential, where as the other liked to warm the injury table!

Disappointing sale: McManaman for me was the most disappointing sale, I really think if we had him in the few seasons under Houllier when we were close to the PL that we'd of won it. Owen aswell was disappointing. Although both screwed us over in how they left so can GTF.

Kewell

Most exciting: Jean Louis Valois - legend
Most disappointing: Chris Coyne - Never should've been sold. Cheers Jayten you cunts.

Most exciting was Reyes, what a flop! Rosicky as well for me, still think he has huge potential! Most disappointing sale, probably Henry but everyone understood why

Yeah, basically, we all knew his value was only going down and he spent most of the season injured!

Signing - Dean Gorre. Had played Champions League football just a couple fo years before we got him from Ajax. Was an absolute genius in't centre of midfield. One of the best players i've seen in my time watching Huddersfield

Sale - Without a doubt, Marcus Stewart. We were top of Div 1 (Now championship) with about 10 games to go. Chairman at the time shit himself when he realised he wasn't going to make a return on the money he' put into the club & wanted to cash in before he lost anymore. Sold Stewart to Ipswich (who were 3rd at the time) for a couple of million, & never replaced him. Ended up dropping out of the play offs on the last day of the season, and Ipswich went up Season after the chairman fucked off, we got relegated, and went into administration.

I still to this day belive that if we'd have kept Stewart we'd have been a Premier League club, and would never have got into the financial difficulties that follwed. I hate you Barry Rubery.

Aye

Rubery had no idea about Football, he was just in to make money as fast as he could, when he realised football wasn't quite like that he did one

Most exciting signing: Gravesen and he flopped big time!
Most disappointing sale: DiCanio, the fans loved him and he loved us but he fell out with the board then he went on to light up the Premiership!

Diego Forlan was disappointing as he always looked like doing something special before wasting his chance, and since moving to Spain hes been shit hot!

Kleberson fell on his arse as did Djemba Djemba, both players I had high hopes for.

After the incosistancy of Roy Carroll and Tim Howard, Edwin van Der Sar was an exciting signing as he was seen as the true succesor to Schimechal.

Carrick and Kuzczack didn't light my world on fire but both are getting better.

Anderson and Nani have being good signings and they can only get better after the seasons they've had. Same goes for Tevez, I expect more from him next season.

Dong is a joke signing but I'll mention his name anyway!

Yes. You seem somewhat suprised at this revelation?

Sorry I was in a rush and should have elaborated. Just to clarify for you Tom: I didn't want Scolari to get the job, hence I am dissapointed. But I am excited to see what he will do.

Most of the exciting signings for wolves never lived up to expectation. Temuri Ketsbia, Tomasz Frankowski and Freddy Eastwood to name a few.

Kightley and Blake however

Most dissapointing sale- Robbie Keane. awsome player, and fans loved him. feels like ages ago now tho.
