A bad / unlucky signing was Neil Masters, who we signed from Bournemouth. Left back who hadn't missed a game for Bournemouth in 4 or 5 seasons, around 150 straight games. Signs for us and is injured in his first 2 or 3 games. I think from memory did not play above 10 games for us in nearly 4 seasons!! Good player with a great shot but never really got over his injury and established himself We were cursed for a while in the 90's with quite a few signings..
Bad signings for me include, Derek Jefferson, not sure how much we paid for him but he was pants big time!! Almost as bad as that Rob Hindmarch from Derby! 350,00 pounds I think we paid for Hindmarch, rip off big time. No wonder Derby love us!! Anyone remember seeing Jefferson play? He was a very agricultural Norman Hunter type player, brilliant at hacking down a player but not much else!

This was my view on Wolves. Anyone got better options? These are all from the last twenty years. I'm sure there were other bad ones pre 1980s, and during the 1980s they were all crap apart from Bully. All of these were relatively expensive signings and hailed as the final part of the jigsaw. 1. Tony Daley. Record signing that did his ligaments part way through his first game. Never played properly for Wolves again. 2. Freddy Eastwood. Was the hot thing from League 1's Southend but never delivered. As a gypsy, he believed "exercising his horse" was a valid reason for being late for training. 3. Darren Anderton. Signed by Hoddle because he reminded him of himself. Anderton was sh1te so he was right about that. 4. Silas. Bought as a pacey, skilful, Portuguese winger. He was certainly Portuguese. 5. Oleg Luzhny. Sir Jack turned off the Golden Tit when we finally got promoted last time and we got him as our main defender. Whatever the question asked by Premier League strikers, 35 year old Oleg Luzhny was not the answer. 6. Tomasz Frankowski. Known as the "Pole with No Goal". Couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. 7. Henri Camara. Senegalese international who couldn't get away fast enough when we got relegated. Willie Mackay was his agent. 8. Robbie Slater. He was as wooden on the pitch as he is on TV. 9. Steve Corica. That he definitely wasn't good enough for Wolves in the Championship ten years ago, but could play in Sydney's first team until this year says a lot about the A League 10. Darren Fergusson. My dad is Alex Fergusson you know. -- Pig's pudding - it's a mon's dinner aer kid -- Pig's pudding - it's a mon's dinner aer kid
