(Red & ) White Elephants XI

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Players that were/are a financial burden and had/have no idea what to do with;

Simonsen
Nosworthy* Rodwell Gybsprechts Lowe
Burke Hammond* Hendrie Ribeiro
A.Ward Horsfield

(*Loan deals, but spectacularly shit and paid enough to be recognised)

Your turn...

Don't think you can really call Burke a financial burden, he cost nowt.

And when you look at what we've paid his profligate colleagues up top, he looks a good signing

I don't think Nosworthy, Rodwell, Lowe, Burke or Ward were financial burdens.

T’old Hammond took up his contract option, even if Wilder paid it straight off.

He didn't really cost nowt though and his contract will be commensurate to that of a low-end Premier League footballer.

We swapped a poor PL/good Championship player in CR for a terrible PL & terrible Championship player in Burke.

If they were all on £1k a week, we still got short changed.

We got money + Burke.

Not saying it was a good deal, but Burke isn't a financial burden for me.

Harsh.

All of them at least contributed something apart from Rodwell.
