Off the top of my head, internationals who came in, with experience of playing in europe...
Walemme
Clement
Soltvedt
Isaias
Zuniga
A team of players that looked good when we signed them, but the reality proved different!
Bryan King
Regis Genoux
Gary Collier
Colin Hendry
Robert Jarni
Nii Lamptey
Dave Bowman
Jose Perdomo
Keith O'Neill
Kevin Drinkell
Alan Brazil
Thought Soltvedt was decent
Eion Jess. Incredibly skilful but just couldn't translate it to anything effective on the pitch.

Apart from the 2-0 win away to Wimbledon (at Selhurst Park) where the win kept us up.Eion Jess. Incredibly skilful but just couldn't translate it to anything effective on the pitch.
Are you also responsible for Kyle Lightbourne, Nick Proschwitz and Simon Jackson?I told this story before but in the early days of bsb (sky) i used to watch the scottish football highlights (it was better than watching the full games) Eoin Jess kept catching my eye so being an anorak at the time I wrote to Terry Butcher, our manager at the time, telling him that Jess would be a great foil for big Cyrille, I got a nice letter signed by Butcher thanking me and the next thing we went and signed him !
Now it was either pure coincidence or they actually listened to me, he turned out shite so I got rid of the anorak persona and become a c**t

Yup.I'm pretty sure "Big Ron" signed Jess. Wasn't it at the same time we signed Daish?
Not guilty...I quit when I was behindAre you also responsible for Kyle Lightbourne, Nick Proschwitz and Simon Jackson?
Perhaps it was Big Ron could have sworn it was butcher but my memories not great at the best of timesI'm pretty sure "Big Ron" signed Jess. Wasn't it at the same time we signed Daish?
You sure you sent the letter?Perhaps it was Big Ron could have sworn it was butcher but my memories not great at the best of times
I only remember your name because it's the same as mineYou sure you sent the letter?
Hi, Otis.I only remember your name because it's the same as mine
Bloody hell, that’s a coincidenceMartin Lorentzson
You've got to say that Konjic was a failure in the Prem as well after coming in with a lot of hype.
Bit harsh on Robert Jarni
So....Mc Alister is good on both pen and paper?I told this story before but in the early days of bsb (sky) i used to watch the scottish football highlights (it was better than watching the full games) Eoin Jess kept catching my eye so being an anorak at the time I wrote to Terry Butcher, our manager at the time, telling him that Jess would be a great foil for big Cyrille, I got a nice letter signed by Butcher thanking me and the next thing we went and signed him !
