I was really excited by the signing of Jose Campana, but he was completely the wrong type of player for that season.

And I remember watching a Hungary match where their centre forward, Sandor Torghelle, absolutely bullied the opposition's defence (may have been against Scotland) - so I was delighted when we signed him. That one didn't end well!

Yes, a very strange signing. Nothing like Ian Wright as a player, but we continued playing the same way and of course it didn't work.

As I recall, not long after selling Gabbiadini we did change our playing style...

I seem to recall Ventola being quite good except he didn't play much as he was injured almost as soon as he got here

Ismael was superb...and was f***ed up by a cruciate injury at the start of his time with us...it's no coincidence that he went on to play Champions League footie once he recovered.

The flop for me was Thomas Brolin!

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

Jose Campaña. I remember Holloway saying he was so knowledgeable he'd be a better manager than he was. Although, he was probably right about that.

Padavano is probably top of my list for the worst Palace player I can remember. His name is absolute mud in my household. I would've volunteered his name but I can't actually think back to whether or not there was much hype about him joining us.
