Who is a player you were wrong about?

Magath first spotted his talent!

Better than I thought:
AAron Hughes. Thought he was weakish, often caught under the ball and no great shakes in the air. Whilst there's a bit of truth in all of these his many strengths and partnership with Brede more than compensated. I was wrong.
Onomah. Not quite sure where his ceiling is but it's definitely better than I thought.

Worse than I thought:
Seri. seemed like pure class till I realised he made Lee Clarke look quick.
Andy Johnson. Shadow of the player I'd seen play for Palace against us.

I thought Johnson was good - when he played, but he was too often injured.

Obviously hoped for the best re Seri and Anguissa, and Seri began well, with that stunning goal.

I also thought Ruiz wold come good, before finally accepting that he  just wasn't up to the Prem, though he did a bit better in the Championship maybe.

Knockeart.  Was expecting a swashbuckling Cavalier, turned out he's a bit of a Roundhead.  Runs around a lot for seventy minutes wearing himself and the opposition out, setting it all up nicely for someone else to finish them off.  The merits of this have grown on me in recent weeks - whilst the Roundheads lacked flamboyance they were basically in the right and victorious - but he's a lot duller to watch than I expected based on his performances for visiting teams.

Is best could be yet to come? He only has to outperform Schurrle, Sessegnon and Vietto in the premier league on the right to be worth his investment. He is has a combined low benchmark of 5 goals and 6 assists to compete against.

Recently Seri - I thought he would be perfect for developing Slav's style of play especially after his goal v Burnley.
Going back further MacDonald as manager, I thought he'd be a disaster.

Shows I know nothing

I had serious doubts about Tigana and his lack of experience in English football. When we won our first eleven matches I began to think that I may have been wrong about him.

Chris Baird.

Literally from what I thought was one of the worst players in the squad.  To a hero.
