So my phone has a Football feed as the home screen and one of the stories I've just seen is that Jeronimo Morales Neumann has signed for Newcastle Jets in Australia. This got me thinking about what a random transfer he was and a bit pointless. So who's everyones most random players we've signed, don't have to be foreign like Jeronimo though I'm sure most will, basically anyone that you thought was bizarre.
Whilst on holiday in Florida I always remember my uncle texting we had signed a striker called Darren Jack from Motherwell. Looking at the stats he made one appearance for us in a game which I missed. Does anyone remember him? I take it he wasnt up to much? http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11672/2287276/tykes-keep-walters-sign-jack
aye tony bedeau was a funny one, never heard of Darren Jack at all?? O'neill Thompson was a random one too and Fumaca
Turner - Possibly mike. signed from a non league pub team, scored winner away to ipswich, but other than that looked lost on the pitch and well out of his depth
The 2nd time we signed Paul Hayes. Think he was a bit of a makeweight in a deal to take Iain Hume to Preston. He looked severely out of his depth in the championship the first time around, then we brought him back and gave him game time, and he looked even more out of his depth.
Remember ripley getting booed when he came on for us from the bench He then went onto to score in the same game One Stuart ripley was then sang from the ponty haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Jeronimo has been a hit in the A-League, looking sharp and quick against these defences. He was a fan favourite at Adelaide United. Either the standard in the A-League is atrocious or Barnsley never saw his full potential. I suspect it's a bit of both.
This. Proper bizarre at the time. In terms of recently, I'd say David Fox or Jon Greening. Neither were needed as we had umpteen central midfielders, and neither were needed in terms of what they'd bring to the table.
Was it? Bloody hell I could have sworn it was Mike Turner, but then again I'm usually wrong...ask my Mrs
Ok I'm arguing with myself now but just found this http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11705/2192399/turners-pilgrimage-to-rekindle-career
