Now that would be an ex player even more unpopular than JFH or Redfearn.
I didn't hate Djimi Traore. He came in with me thinking he was rubbish and left with me thinking he was rubbish. Zero expectations, just obviously a bad idea. He also had the good grace to leave after half a season. It's like asking a desk lamp to do your taxes for you; it will do a bad job but what were you expecting?
Felt a bit sorry for him first game. He did something (not retreating from a free kick) that he'd probably done dozens of times for Liverpool without even getting a comment from the officials. Tries it for little old Charlton and it's a second yellow card.

Honestly it might just be time but I am almost nostalgic for the old Traore/Faye days. Just how memorably and clearly bad those signings were that even years later with many bad signings in between they remain an inglorious benchmark.

Any ownership group that wants to cash in on young players will quickly learn a team full of them won’t achieve anything in League One.
