One of Steve McClaren's biggest signings for Middlesborough was Massimo Maccarone in July 2002 for £8.15 million.
In 2003, after a disappointing start at the club for the Italian striker, the new England manager said of the him; "We're expecting big things of Massimo next season."
Which next season was that exactly Steve?
In four years, Maccarone has not seen sight of the Italian national side despite two appearances before he joined, and has scored just 23 goals - less than Thierry Henry's total for this season alone. Nice buy, Steve. Great player development.
He's so shit you couldn't even sell the bald spoonfoot.
Still, not your problem now, is it?
