[lyechris]

Andy Mutch, three weeks prior I had his name put on my shirt. My dad told me not to, but then he also said bully wouldn't be as good without him, what did he know!

 

[lyechris]

I did it again with akinbiyi this time at Christmas, I had 4 months out of that shirt at best!
I've never been tempted to put a name on a shirt again, well that's a lie I was tempted to put Roger Johnstone accross my shoulders to carry on the curse but I thought I'd get hurt at a game!

 

[jrpb-3]

Steve Claridge.

did we actually sell him or was he only contracted to end of season

OK just looked it up and ye we did sell him to Portsmouth

with hindsight should never have signed him

 

[goldeneyed]

ROBBIE KEANE.
ALAN SUNDERLAND.

Disastrous, stupid decisions and for peanuts.

More recently Diogo Jota obviously but at least we got a reasonable fee.

 

[WV10Wolf]

Jamie O’Hara and Roger Johnson.

Just kidding!!!!

We couldn’t give JOH away, let alone sell him

 

[Tomcat]

Sam Vokes
Peter Withe

 

[giantwolf]

The Major. If we kept Maierhofer we would have stayed up. McCarthy pretty much ensured he was getting sacked the day he sold him.

Sticking your neck out with that one @Mugwump

 

[Vietnam Wolf]

Wayne Clarke - was meant to have been better than his brother, Alan Clarke, when he was a boy

Akinbiyi was one that we did extremely well to offload ... totally uselss iirc [and expensive].

 

[Shergar]

Adama Traore. (getting it in early)

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Looks like Pedro Goncalves will end up as the most expensive player we have ever owned.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Have not of

Is that meant to be a joke?

Should not HAVE got rid of

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Not a bad thing with the clause we luckily have in place, these things happen unfortunately.

 

[Pagey]

Mark Venus

 

[George AlooGobi]

Always going to be tough replacing Robbie Keane as well as the inflated transfer fee but I didn't think he was that bad here.

Scored some goals in his season with us. Memory a bit hazy but he may have struggled a bit at first then went on a really good run

 

[Hot Fuss]

Akinbiyi did very well for us and we turned a profit on him.

 

[henri_camara]

Leon Clarke

Jason Roberts

Shhhhhhh

 

[Lisas Husband]

Peter Knowles

We didn't sell him. He retired for religion.

 

[freezin]

Jens Dowe and Jelle Van Damme,

Their guile, tenacity and 'die for the cause' reliability.

Stories of their heroic contributions will live on, long after we're all dust and worm food.

 

[freezin]

We didn't sell him. He retired for religion.

A lot of people would say that's a noble decision.

I'd say think about all the sex and drugs he missed out on, but then I remember it was religion he left for... Silly me.

16 goals in 32 games off the top of my head. Complete waste of space.

 

[Wagstaffe Was Magic]

Players we should HAVE never sold !!!!

Drives me mad

 

[Vietnam Wolf]

16 goals in 32 games off the top of my head. Complete waste of space.

Yeah as others (@Hot Fuss and @George AlooGobi ) have mentioned... I checked the Wikipedia stats also. Really surprised me, nearly 1 in 2. Obviously I wasn't "remembering correctly". I do remember though getting a good price for him from Leicester.

No idea why I had such a negative lasting impression; perhaps) he had a bad start or something as @George AlooGobi suggested.

 

[Scallywolf]

16 goals in 32 games off the top of my head. Complete waste of space.

And we got a good transfer fee didn’t we?

We paid £3.5million for him from Bristol City in September 1999 hoping he would replace Robbie Keane. Ten months later he signed for Leicester for £5.5million as a replacement for Emile Heskey. £2million profit was not bad business at the time.

Akinbyi never hit it off at Leicester and he scored 11 goals in 58 appearances.

He became a bit of a journeyman after leaving Leicester. Maybe he should have stayed at Molineux.
