Jeff Kenna
When he signed -
Good solid pro, loads of
experience, possible captain, good signing.
When he played - Had some great spells (the run
in to the play off year he was superb) and some not so great ones.
Constant rumours of bickering with Burley didn't help endear him to
anyone. By the start of last season he was reduced to Warren Barton
status of former good player gone so shit it's embarrassing.
When he left - We thought it was overdue.

Pablo Mills
When he signed -
Looked well built and solid. Could
be a good player for us when we rebuild for promotion.
When he played - Never let us down but never set
the world on fire either. I always had the nagging doubt with Pablo
that he was another Steve Elliot, good lad, good passion but not
quite good enough for DCFC. The lower divisions always looked a good
bet for him.
When he left - He got lifted by the filth.

Kevin Poole
When he signed -
He came as a goalkeeping
coach as a direct replacement for the departing Malcolm
Webster. No-one considered for one moment that he would end
up playing for the first team.
When he played - Amid the controversy of
Campy's Dad's rant on radio Derby, Poole never let us down
on the pitch and actually had a couple of cracking games.
What he did on the training ground however is a different
story and we'll never probably know the full story of how
much bad influence this had on Campy.
When he left - I didn't even realise
until we got Preston's goalkeeping Coach.
Paul Thirlwell
When he signed -
There was a headline
of the official site on a Friday morning saying 'new signing
announced at 1pm press conference today'. It was Thirls,
bugger. |
When he played -
He was a poor man's Simo Valakari, seemingly
unable to pass the ball forwards. As his appearances became
more infrequent, they seemed to get worse. Westley pretty
much bombed him out of the first team picture and Billy
Davies was in no rush to reverse the decision.
When he left - Clearly surplus to
requirements (and shit!), he's no loss. Although he's only
on a 3 month loan, it's a safe bet he won't be appearing for
DCFC again. |
