Most disappointing signing - HibeesBounce.com

***Bampotto*** · 28-10-08, 15:57

Who is the player that when Hibs signed them you thought they'd be the bee's knee's, but they never really made the grade?

I remeber how highly rated Martin MacIntosh was when we signed him, but he was fairly gash in his short time here.

***Dr Shrink*** · 28-10-08, 16:03

Joe Harper.

***Hibee Kev*** · 28-10-08, 16:03

Difficult one. Stevie Crawford, Paul Hartley, Barry Lavety, Tony Rougier... were all guys who came with good reputations, but never ammounted to much while they were at Hibs IMO. Actually 3 of those guys were signed by Jimmy Duffy I think!

seeing as im too young to remember most of these signings i cant really say but in my memory zarabi was pretty gash...

gathuessi too

***wee 162*** · 28-10-08, 16:09

Hakim Sar-Temsoury.

It was round about the point where it became obvious that he was not going to make it that I decided I was going to stop paying any attention to young laddies we signed who were going to be superstars according to the Evening News. If some come through, barry. But they won't come through at much more of a rate than the ones we rear ourselves.

jarko wiss · 28-10-08, 16:09

I rember the hype surrounding Hakim Sar-Temsoury being mental.

Didn't really come with any great reputation though.

I might get pelters for this but I always thought Stephen Glass was a little disappointing. Probably because he came during Blobby's reign and was slightly talked up by us (the fans) in eager expectation he might be something that would shine out of those dark dark days.

I thought Mcintosh done well for Hibs and was just establishing himself in the team then got sent off last game of the season against Hearts so missed the first few games of the following season. At this time we signed fenwick and smith and moved Le God to sweeper who formed the best defence ive seen at hibs. He just couldn't get back in the team.

That's a good shout. The best player ever at dribbling past 4 or 5 players and always ending up at the corner flag!

He was brilliant in Mowbray's first season though. One of the 'unsung heroes' imo.

Did Eduardo Hurtado come with a bit of a repuation? Or was it just that he was called 'The Tank'?

I'd agree with that. Injuries played a big part though.

Paco Luna was rubbish as well.
Stevie ''five sitters'' Crawford should have scored about 100 goals in the 1st division.

Actually, Jarkko Wiss himself was disappointing. He came with a load of international caps and was supposed to be a bit of a playmaker.

Similarly, Janus Matyus.

SuperJoeT · 28-10-08, 16:19

After his first season Alan O'Brian was very disappointing. This season looks like a different player so hopefully it continues.

I was a great player. I once booted the ball SRAIGHT up into the air, about 50 feet, for no reason.

It's murder, I'll never play at the highest level (vs Ayr United at Hampden, midweek) ever again.

***GforGallo*** · 28-10-08, 16:34

elias wagner came with a fair bit of hype before pissing off across town.

And what about those magic corner kicks you took for us. I miss those. Shooting from corners
