Signings that didn’t do as well as expected.

Jim Blair and Joe Ward.

Allan smart and freddy arpinon as he was injured looked magic when he did play

Sauzee, never got the hype about him.

Neal Eardley

Surprised Victor Palsson hasn’t had a mention. Def agree Mark McGraw at the time, allegedly beat Liverpool to his signature! Controversial one here...I always felt Zitelli could’ve been a bigger player for us than he was. Only really showed his obvious quality in flashes.

He put in one of the best CB performances I’d seen in years vs Aberdeen which made it all the more frustrating.

Davydas Matchio... Machula...Matthewlavic....

Ah **** it. Matt Kennedy.

Also if he was to leave tomorrow, Vykintas Slivka. More performances like last weekend and that all changes though. Possibly only because he cane from Juve I was expecting a world beater, and tidy player he is he’s struggled to break through to the first team.

Yeah I'd agree with this too. There is definitely a player there but he hasn't quite hit the level of expectation that I had yet.

Victor Palsson is a good one. His debut performance was absolutely outstanding. Thought we’d signed a guy who would go on to be a multi million pound player.

He’s actually had a good career since he left us and I’m sure he’s now a regular in the Iceland squads?

He plays for FC Zurich in the Swiss superleague and came on as a sub against France the other night.

David Gray. I expected him to achieve world peace, win a Brit award and win Hibs the Scottish Cup.

He’s only done one of those things.

So he did. He came on with 20 mins to go, 2-0 up away to France and they drew 2-2 :greengrin

Grant Holt - had a couple of really good performances in big games for us. However I think most of us expected him to score a lot of goals in the championship when he signed. Ultimately it didn't work out that way, and maybe in part that's the reason the "you don't know about football if you can't see what Holt does by not scoring goals and not being able to run" type comments started to come about.

Nice big guy and played his part. But I think we all expected more.
