As mentioned, Andy Kirk. I think the difference with him was he did put the effort in and that’s what made it all the more disappointing when it didn’t work out.

Ikechi Anya - No idea how he had the career he did after leaving us. Every time I see him on TV playing I am in shock. To play for Watford and Derby and become an International (although only with Scotland  Tongue) is baffling

He barely played for Derby and apparently was on £27k a week on a 4 year contract.

I quite liked Anya and was disappointed when we didn't sign him permanently.

I think most of the disappointing ones have already been mentioned, but there's also Sam Parkin who went on to have a good career but was hopeless for us. From the current crop I'd throw in Flores - supposedly a creative midfielder but has looked poor and disinterested on the rare occasions he's actually got onto the pitch.

I think someone has mentioned his name already but Alister Slowe. He struggled to jog in the warm up coherently!

He was never really going to play was he. Some dubious deal to pretend at being a footballer. That said he can claim to being part of the squad and an unused substitute at our win at Anfield.

Massive heeed.

Any "shot" from any team that hits the corner flag or lands out of the ground...

"You've been watching Aidy Mann, you've been watching, you've been watching, you've been watching Aidy Mann"

Cant really put poor Aidy in this category as he wasn't a signing as such but an outstanding product of our incredible youth academy in the 1980s (The Grosvenor Centre and Roadmender)

Kashif Siddiqi.
Now what was all that about?
7 clubs in 10 years, 9 games and 1 goal (all for the first team in US). 1 international cap
Seems to have done some great work through his foundation and even met Prince William, David Cameron and the Pope because of it.
You would have thoughts lots more would have been made of his time here (even if just about the foundation and community work) but the club never mentioned him and journalists didnt seem to know who he was.

Brilliant at talking up his CV  Grin
