At 77 Mobley may be more mobile than our centre backs.
For me no one comes close to Bosingwa. He was on 50K a week and 'played' 23 games. That actually means he earned £113,043 per game! Or £1,256 a minute on the pitch! He also refused to eat with the team, travel with them or train with certain players.
Over his career he played an average of 20 games a season, even at Chelsea. A 'friend' from that lot told me that they drummed him out to us because he was a serial layabout.

None of us complained at the time though!

Sorry Bos, W12 is spot on. We paid about a quarter of the Les fee for him which considering the transfer record at the time was £7.5m was a considerable chunk of change. He wasn't fit to play until just before Christmas, took seven games to score his first goal and only scored once more that season in another eight games.
I'll never forget his 'performance' lumbering around up front at Coventry in a game we had to win before he was taken off and put out of his misery. We were playing the game with ten men. This is even before we get to the ear cupping celebration that followed next season. I still hate the bloke to this day.

Pretty much. Old team mates for Milan and England.
I think we have had a problem with those coming in thinking we are a small club and the fans will be glad to see former internationals playing for us so Wilkins brings in Hateley. Even in more recent times we brought in Cesar, Ferdinand, Boswinga, Barton and the like when they were past their best.
There is an element of the fans should be grateful to have former big name players at our club. If we were a big club there is no way we would have signed these players going downhill.

I think it depends on the attitude of the player coming into the club. In my perception Hateley still had a bit of a bertie big bollocks attitude when he signed, ex Milan, Monaco and England thinking he was doing little old QPR a favour by signing for us whereas players like Wilkins himself and going further back someone like Frank McLintock got what the club was about when they signed.

I think though that when Hateley came along it was the Premier League and more money in the game for players to earn without putting the effort in. In the days of McLintock, Webb and Hollins in the 70's the game was a sport and you didn't have the same rates of pay. Once it becomes a business everything changed.

For me Fernando De Ornelas... only because I signed him on Championship Manager and he was amazing and he came from Celtic in a time when an ageing marco gabbiadini had taken us apart for notthampton at home as well as an obese Darren caskey

Wasn't even the position we needed most, we had Gallen and Dichio (raw but decent even then) and with any nouse we'd have kept Bradley Allen or Penrice or both. Meanwhile we were buying Luton's reserve keeper to vie for our first choice with Tony bloody Roberts.
Of course Zelic was part of the same restructuring, plus Osborn who I still think was decent but never used so also a "bad signing" though not his fault. Probably our worst set of transfers ever.

your right about the worst set of signings, zelic, osborn and hateley, 27 games between them. cost 2 thirds of 6m from what we got for ferdinand.
