Yep I would go with that. Pretty sure that was the signing in which a day before Midlands today sport said live on air Wolves are expected to make there "first Premier League signing tomorrow" and that there was a big rumour it was Denis Bergkamp. The presenter seemed genuinely convinced himself. Iis was on the back of the Bergkamp rumours too which as funny as it sounds now, did seem at the time a case of there's no smoke without fire. I convinced myself it was a possibility as previous summers were we was always linked with a top premier league player. Collymore, Merson, Irwin, Ince. We had signed two of those and the other two at least went in for.Isaac Okoronkwo.
No way! He was a beast on Football Manager so people were quite chuffed to sign him. Plus, when Dave Jones did eventually play him, he was a Rolls Royce compared to the other defenders on show.Isaac Okoronkwo.
Colin Taylor and Steve Claridge were along the same lines - decent players on paper, but you just knew that they were quick fixes. It's not about the fact that they did f all, it's just that sinking feeling when we signed them.Anderton - Not a fan of signing overpaid has beens who are well on the decline.

Grant Holt
TrincaoWho was the signing that you knew from the start was not going to move the dial ?
I'll nominate Greg Halford from the MM era.

What if Dom turns out to be a "Generational Talent"! You may regret that change of answer.Sorry, can I change my answer to Dom Plank.
Yeah...but with him I had some hope.Isaac Okoronkwo.
Yes!Kaspars Gorkss - bloody stupid signing by a bloody stupid manager in a bloody stupid season.
we had waited all summer after the euphoria of the Cardiff promotion for the first of many new faces to arrive now we were in the Premier League. At last i thought, was it Denis Bergkamp or Stan Collymore? No, this signing of a complete nobody broke my heart as it was the realisation that we werent going to buy quality players, and relegation would be a certainty. And it was.Yeah...but with him I had some hope.
I did at least hope with Okoronkwo that he may at help us sign the other Wombles. ......we had waited all summer after the euphoria of the Cardiff promotion for the first of many new faces to arrive now we were in the Premier League.

All morning the following day I was distracted on big jobs. Eventually when someone got a paper they told me we had signed a lad called Okoronkwo. We should have known then the high bubble we was on after Cardiff would soon be popped.
Yup, Miller, Lescott and Murray injured and crap signings. Us struggling was completely unsurprising.God what a comedown that. Luzhny comes to mind for some reason after seeing him down here..... ugh.
