Most Disappointing Signing

[Cobra]

Which player did you have high expectations of before being left underwhelmed?

I was quite exciting about us signing Tam McManus. Was convinced he was going to be a quality signing but it didn't really work out.

[Billy Campbell's Ghost]

John Fletcher from Arbroath - -on fire at Gayfield and did nowt at Dens

[Ludo*1]

Colin Cameron - Thought he was guaranteed to drag us to promotion.

[Ivan Drago]

Sean Higgins, Pat Clarke and Coco McMeneman scored a load of goals for other clubs but looked poor for us, though coco was often played out of position.

Higgins truly was brutal.

Edited to add I thought Mark Gilhaney was going to be a good signing as he was always good against us. Turns out we just had sh**e fullbacks for years.

[chomp my root]

Probably Ravanelli, I think it was his first game away at Dunfermline and I think the Dunfs boys were intimidated by his reputation in the first half so stood off him, in the second half I think he was found out big style.   Maybe wrong, I wasn't going to many games at the time but that was my feeling at the time.

Higgins was brutal and I'll forever remember him for two things:

Falling on his backside far too often and

a super sprint that Usain Bolt would have been proud of, from the SE to the stand side when he got subbed during one game.

Disappointing player?  Maros Klimpl.  Did we sign the correct player?

[Derry Drummer]

Kevin Thompson.

Forgot about Klimpl. Had one decent game v Dons in league cup and then nothing at all.

It's a fact that Shaun Higgins has the highest opta stats in history for time spent on ar**.

Higgins was a revelation during the Deefiant season. Even Ivan was impressed IIRC. I wouldn't say he was disappointing, not too much was expected of him considering we signed Griffiths and Harkins the same summer.

Gilhaney and Cameron are the two that spring to mind for me.

You're thinking of Caniggia's third game which got a lot of media attention I'd think - lost 1-0 - Fabrizio was unbeaten in first four games he played - we lost his last two - the final one a 2-0 defeat against Dunfermline - which was no surprise considering most of the crowd knew we were screwed financially by then

I'm sure it was Ravanelli against Dunfs I'm thinking of, I think I only saw CC the once and that was at Dens. A combination of working away and a young child from a previous marriage who I saw at the weekend (and a new missus to keep sweet) when I was back kept my attendances to a minimum sadly. I'll have a rummage around on t'internet and see if I can find the game. I'm starting to doubt myself now....

Eric Garcin.

Earned a decent reputation at Motherwell but truly horrific at Dens.

Looking back, Fan Zhiyi was probably the honkingest.
