Dr Colossus Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 When was the last time we signed a cast-off from the big clubs that actually worked? We've been ridden with the likes of Duff, Babayaro, Geremi, Alan Smith, Butt, Obertan. Gillespie, Ben Arfa off the top of my head. Martins arguably, although calling him a 'cast-off' depends how old you think he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Not from necessarily a big club, but definitely a cast off at Everton: Peter Beardsley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been ridden with the likes of Duff, Babayaro, Geremi, Alan Smith, Butt, Obertan. Scott Parker. Some people may have been unhappy about how he left the club and his never ending turning circle, but certainly in his first season he was quality for us.

NG32 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 It wasnt exactly cast off money at the time and we had finished 2nd the season before. If I remember correctly. We were also chasing babbel. I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hamman was hardly a cast off from Byern like. :lol: Definitely not, he was 25 had just finished a season with Bayern where he played 41 games for them and also played in every game for Germany in the world cup the same year. I'm sure we paid £8.5M for him mind. Definitely remember it being around £4m-£5m, we wouldn't have sold him to Liverpool for the same price we paid either.
