Richard Stearman arrived at Fulham on the final day of the August transfer window boasting all the right credentials - as you might expect from a £2million player.
Wolves fans were up in arms over the sale of their prized asset.
However, Wanderers chief executive Jed Moxey quickly poured oil on troubled waters when he suggested there were younger players waiting to take the 28-year-old’s place at Molineux.
Since when, it’s been hit and miss for the former England U21 central defender, once in the reckoning for Republic of Ireland caps.
Whites head coach Slavisa Jokanovic publicly stood by a player sent off just 24 hours ahead of a 2-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in February.
"It wasn't an easy experience for him because he arrived to a new coach and was working with different players. But he's a professional and understands the situation," Joka explained.
But practically all his team-mates alluded to the awful 79 goals conceded and bettered, sorry, worsened by only hapless Bolton and Charlton - and even then by just one and two goals respectively.
However, Stearman, 30 appearances for Whites, no goals, five yellow cards, one red and on the Fulham winning side just seven times, insists there are better things to come on his Twitter account.
"Nice way to finish off what's been a disappointing season," after the 1-0 win over Bristol City. "Thanks 4 the support guys, together we will be better next time around."
