    Anticipation-Disappointment

    JJ's departure got me thinking.

    Given the excitement pre his arrival can anyone remember if any previous signings have caused a similar sense of anticipation but ultimately ended up in disappointment.

    The list might be endless

    Ulises on a cruise and his mate Nelly Hurtado were the first to my mind.
    Alan, faster than Usein Bolts little sister, O' Brien is a more recent one.

    Terry Wilson - hotly pursued by a number of clubs as being a terrific prospect. Hibs got him and on the decision of a transfer tribunal panel paid £35,000 for him and he was awful!

    Maybe a bit of a but the return of Mickey Weir, although not a disaster and still a great player, he never got back to the heights of his first stint. Everyone was so excited he was back and is still an all time great so not in the same category as the others.

    This (Anticipation-Disappontment) puts me in mind of a sweetmeat that was sold when I was a lad - Fry's "Five Boys" chocolate.



    "Desperation - Pacification - Expectation - Acclamation - Realisation... It's Fry's" - for those who can't make out the captions. They don't write advertising copy like THAT nowadays!

    The Lanarkshire version is as follows:



    Oh, and in regard to anticipation/disappointment in a new signing, it HAS to be ...

    ... the one and only ...

    ... the inimitable ...

    ... the unsurpassable ...

    ... the unremittingly and uniquely emetic ...

    ... THE MAN WHO WAS GOING TO WIN US THE LEAGUE TITLE ...

    JOE (FAT-BOY LARDASS YELLOW-BELLY) HARPER!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Who else?

    Stephen Glass -- what a let down! No bad, just no very great.

    On the other hand I expected fart all from Stevie Archibald and he was terrific.

    Jim Blair, we paid out an awful lot of money for him, most likely Hibs record signing at the time.

    There'll be a special corner of the Ninth Circle in Hell for guys like Harper and Blair and Caughey.
