Ollie 4,400 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Quite a few really, this is like excitement when we heard we were signing them right? Soz for a long list, it's not fair tro miss some out. And no Zola because i wasn't sure how good he was or who he was. Overwhelming (Kinda in order but not fully. Top 3 are)1) Shevchenko2) Torres3) Ballack4) Crespo5) Laudrup6) Weah7) Desailly8) Hughes9) Gullit10) Drogba11) Joe Cole12) Veron13) Hasselbaink14) Ashley Cole15) VialliUnderwhelming 1) Jarosik2) Maniche3) Turnbull4) Ferreira5) Tiago6) Panucci7) Lampard (Yes, not a typo. Didn't want him, end of)8) Sutton9) Lambourde10) Phelan11) Ramires12) De Goey13) Sturridge14) Diarra15) De LucasThere's more but i'll leave it.

- 25 - 167 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Overwhelming1. Ruud Gullit - Couldn't believe it when he signed, a true legend of the game and someone who I thought we'd have no chance of getting.2. Gianluca Vialli - See above, I remember watching him playing for Juve in the CL final (which they won) and thinking, 'I can't believe he's coming to Chelsea.'3. Gianfranco Zola - I think Zola joined around the same time as Vialli and while I had no idea of the level of success he'd have here I just couldn't believe these type of players were signing for us.I can understand the people who are saying Torres or Sheva but, as soon as Roman came in, I always knew that those types of signings were inevitable and therefore less exciting. Those three that I mentioned came after years of Stein and Spencer up front ffs so it meant more to me when a name like Gullit signed back then.Underwhelming1. De Lucas - For exactly the reasons that Tomo gave.2. Ben Haim - Seems like Jose wasn't going to get any money that year, Ben Haim was the result.3. Benayoun - Decent player on his day but as Kez said, I expected we'd have someone better lined up to replace Joe Cole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I'd like to add Veron to the underwhelming list ... such admirable decision making on our part to sign him for that amount from United who probably couldn't believe their luck after the season he'd had there. Kenyon proved his credentials to us that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolayes 14,489 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 What's Torres and Sheva doing on most posters overwhelming list. The former appeared to have lost the golden touch and also injury plagued while the latter was simply too old (29 at the time) and past his prime . so what's the justification for the excitement. I guess kaka and pirlo would make the list to if we manage to sign them. smhAnyway to the topic.. Overexcited signings were 1) Alex2) Essien3)Mikel ObiUnderwhelming1) Torres2) Sheva3)Turnbullbecause they are stating the 3 buys that excited them most at the time ,,,not the best buys...I would have thought that was too difficult for you to understand ..3 I was most excited by GullitDesaillyBallack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 OverwhelmingFernando Torres - Could not wait to tear into the local Liverpool fans for this one. I could not believe my eyes, and hopefully I won't be able to believe my eyes next season when he get 30+ goals...UnderwhelmingRamires - Didn't know much about him, but he has turned into a real top notch player.
