Giddy signings

[Barcon]

Or maybe, rather than Chelsea ruining him, when in a team of players as good or better than him, he was never going to stand out like he did first time around with us. Same with Grealish unless he improves.

Nope, they ruined him. The boring **** Mourinho coached his natural game and confidence out of him.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Anelka ,Robinho and gabby

 

[HolisticJim]

I remember us paying £8m for Gareth Barry and thinking that we were now attracting decent players.

I mean... Even looking back that was a steal.

 

[WEMBLEY76]

Haaland is up there,was also very excited about David Silva,he stood out as top class player then,Tevez was a great transfer,absolute warrior and boiled piss at the swamp,doubly delightful.

 

[Bald fraud]

Allen
Rocastle
Robinho
Tevez
Aguero

 

[J.G.Blue.]

He was a magnificent player but as you rightly say, always injured, but when fit was superb, his debut one of the finest for any player in our history.

I was lucky enough to be at Stoke that day & remember a song about Francis being better than Birtles (utd had recently signed him) mind you thats not saying much, I think I was better than Gary Birtles,
Thinking about it we have had a lot of important games in our history at Stoke, Francis debut, the Banana/fancy dress day out, the Ball sacking (both sets of fans singing "your getting sacked in the morning") the relegation day into div3.

 

[MCFC1993]

Probably Robinho, given how the events unfolded that day, the whole thing was surreal.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Rick Holden

My greatest signing of all time that really got me exited and giddy was Kazimera Deyna

Wow, that's a bold statement

As someone who wasn't around in the late seventies, that just sounds like John Travolta trying to say Karim Benzema

 

[MarsLlama]

Wow, that's a bold statement

fuck's sake

 

[mattcity5]

Nope, they ruined him. The boring **** Mourinho coached his natural game and confidence out of him.

Agree with this. Made him concentrate on keeping possession rather than beating players. Tbh, I remember him being the same for a game or two after going away with England also.

 

[Kakhaber The Great]

Wow, that's a bold statement

 

[Burtonblue]

Trevor Francis, Tevez and Robinho were all statement signings and incredibly exiting.
However the one that made me giddiest was definitely Pep.
Our best ever signing beyond any doubt in my mind.

 

[borassic]

Yaya Toure

 

[citymad]

Haaland is up there,was also very excited about David Silva,he stood out as top class player then,Tevez was a great transfer,absolute warrior and boiled piss at the swamp,doubly delightful.

Spot on.

 

[The_Maverick]

I’m amazed no one has mentioned Glauber Berti yet…..

 

[bumbleblue]

Mick Channon
Trevor Francis
George Weah
Anelka
Schmeichel
Robinho
Tevez
Sterling
KDB
Haaland
The biggest one of all though was Pep.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Does Guardiola count? It was the worst kept secret in football for about three years but even so, when Pellegrini casually announced it in his own unique half asleep way, I properly gasped.
