That was at one club, and even then he scored some important goals. Anyways he's a quality striker overall. Top scorer with Henry a couple of seasons ago
Definitely Maybe
Danny Collins for Brazil

I'll tell you the story then.. its one of my faves..
Its April 2000. Our first season back in the Prem, where we were riding high and chasing a place in Europe. On the final day of the transfer window, Peter Reid spends £1.7m on an unknown forward from Hondourez called Milton Nunez. In the press conference where he was unveiled, Reid revealed his nickname was Tyson, as he was built like Mike Tyson, causing much excitement on Wearside.
The next day, we play Wimbledon at home, and Nunez is paraded around the pitch before kick off. One thing stands out... hes not actually built like Tyson at all, hes actually only 5'4ft.
Midway through the second half, Nunez is brought on to a standing ovation. After touching the ball precisely.... once, Nunez is never seen again, and is eventually released the next season. A few months later, it turns out that reid signed the wrong player, and Nunez came from the Hondourez 3rd division, for a club the equivilent of Darlington. We tried to sue his agent, but the courts laughed in our face.
And people say Reid is a good manager :laugh:
As for as worst forward goes take your pick:
Chris Brown
Andy Gray
Paul Stewart
Lee Howey
Tore Andre Flo (obviously not the worst, but in terms of performances to transfer fee hes top)
Kevin Kyle is a difficult one. Before he got injured he was starting to look half decent - his touch looked great for a big man, strong, good in the air, had a massive presence.... but since hes came back hes looked like the Kyle of old - i.e, awful. Cant really be judged until hes fit though, he had been out for 18 months before that.
Definitely Maybe

Fuck off, I forgot about him. :no:
To be fair, when he was signed, Reid promised to change our style to the continental game and pass it to his feet, yet we just lumped it to his head. When he confronted Reid about it in training, Reid just said "Fuck off Frenchy, we invented the game and we'll play it how we like"
I absolutely despise Peter Reid

Its scary to think that if things were done differently when we were up there what we might be now. Anyway I am sure Leeds fans are thinking the very same.

His confidence was at an all time low so why did we buy him to keep us in the Premiership? 1st division football might give him a boost.
