I suppose the first one was Mario Haas, then there was the Jason Puncheon thing, the total waste of time and money that was Emille Mpenza, exactly what was going on when Buszaky went...
And then there was the continuing problem Luggy had trying to recruit the players he wanted. I know that Chris Clarke, Jim Patterson, Steve McLean and Yoann Folly all both disappointed and cost rather a lot but McLean had a good track record before coming here and Folly was a promising youngster and they both had played for Luggy before. What went wrong with them and why? Why were Clarke and Paterson the best we could recruit?
That fella from Birmingham whose name escapes me... Kenny Cooper! WTF was that all about?
All very odd.
There's probably others. Cilian Sheridan is the one I always remember. Cillian Sheridan was terrible. After he came to Argyle I couldn't believe he came from Celtic and still had a contract of employment with them. I'd even have said Fallon was a better player, and I was no real fan of him either. Bizarrely I rate Brunt a lot better than both of them, and here he is two divisions below, and regarded by fans as 'your typical limited league two striker'. |

Definitely £10k/week at least.
That's a cool half million over a year.
Wasted. Apparently he only turned up once for training. |

| Little blue pills aside, (you'd piss yourself if you heard the story Mocckers) we could make a whole team of really shite Argyle players signed at the height of our success, Blair Sturrock gets the no 9 shirt. |

This was the board that not only allowed a player to go out on loan to a divisional rival whilst continuing to pay his wages but allowed him to play against us and score a goal. |

Yes the story was it was taken by "Disco" Dave Rowntree and it was then passed to Plympton Pilgrim who passed it to IJN to share. Ironically that wouldnt have been a bad use for the Deep Throat account, but instead he delighted in telling everyone exactly how it came about. |

One of many fond memories of Fletcher the player for his reaction to that nonsense the following week against Ipswich. Pity Fletcher didn't show the same collective desire when he greedily snapped up the promotion Ridsdale offered to keep everyone under the thumb. I personally thought, apart from his original loan period, and that goal, he was hopeless. Legs gone, continually caught napping. Warnock didn't do us a favour by selling him.Probably the worst record ever of any Argyle captain. Of course ponderous Jimmy thought he was an outstanding individual. Talk about patronage everywhere you looked. Still the same old Argo to this day. I'm hopeful D Adams esq is made of better stock. He appears to be so far. |

Them were the days, when I was more bothered about what was going on at Home Park. I had the picture sent to me of the Duchess of Derriford with thumbs up after Seip scored against us, which obviously needed to be given a wider audience! I sent it to Nool and asked him to post it, and when he did I made it perfectly clear on the farm that it came from me, not him, as he was a bit unsure about posting it. (His pre-controlling days I suppose). Much later on, when he decided I was the enemy, he re-posted it saying that it was my idea and nothing to do with him - trying obviously to paint me as the bad guy. Thing was I'd said it was me at the time, and re-posted the post to prove it. He didn't like that much. |

Wasted. Apparently he only turned up once for training. You'll enjoy the 'little blue pills' story The 24 hour shagathon. You couldn't make it up. All joking aside, at the time I thought the Mpenza signing did show much more ambition than the club had ever done before. He did look a class act in the few games he did play. But, as ever was with this football club, it didn't work out. |
