New signing unveilings are far more enjoyable when something doesn't go to plan.
It really should be a blunder-free process. Fans just want to see their club scarf being waved around and a happy grin from the new man at the club.
But everyone will remember Aaron Lennon's now-infamous photoshoot when he joined Everton from Tottenham on loan a few seasons back.

Another personal favourite of ours was poor old Roberto Soldado, who moved to Villarreal from Spurs are failing to rediscover the goalscoring form that made him such a hot property in Spain. He had the occasional moment at White Hart Lane, but most of the time the troubled Spaniard couldn't hit a barn door.
Then this happened after a return to La Liga.

But Notts County may have set a new bar for unveiling fails this week, after the club photographer managed to miss a small but extremely important detail when framing a shot of loan signing Vadaine Oliver, who arrived at the League Two club from York City.
It wasn't that the 24-year-old striker looked unhappy to be at Meadow Lane. No Aaron Lennon-esque scowl to be seen here. Nor did he somehow mis-kick a ball meant for the adoring fans onto the roof.
In fact, Vadaine Oliver did his job just fine. Take a look at the photo.

We're not going to spell out what's happened here, as it's probably already clear, but if you're sat there scratching your head about why this picture constitutes a head-in-hands balls-up for County, have a look at the background.
The words "Notts County" are painted across the seats in the 20,000-capacity stadium and the photographer has asked Oliver to stand in front of the first "O".
Big mistake.
