Players who signed for Sunderland

[Andy Reids Love Chil]

... who you thought were going to be mint but turned out shite.


I'll start;

Lilian Laslandes

Looked like he was going to be a like for like replacement for a certain Mr Quinn, big, strong and pacey and signed for nearly £4 million. 12 games later and only 1 goal, he was away.

Also Patrick Mboma and Medina.

So many. Flo, Laslandes, Tommy Miller, Mboma, Riveros to name just a few.

The most disappointing has to be Medina though, I adored Julio and I thought we were going to have two of them. Still, he turned into an absolutely world class midfielder on one version of Championship Manager, so it wasn't a total loss I suppose.
