Giddy signings

[dickie davies]

So with regards to @Ric 's tweet, what's the most giddy you've been over a City signing?
I'd say mine was Clive Allen
No Internet in those days kids. I was at work and as always, Piccadilly Radio was blasting through the warehouse and Clive Allen signing for City was the headline news

 

[Bobby the blue]

David Silva.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

The Messi thread was fun.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Pep.

Not so much over players these days as we've been let down too many times over the years. Last big let down for me was Boateng.

Was delighted when we signed Allen. IIRC he was about 28 and only a couple of seasons earlier he was scoring for fun for spurs. Didnt quite work out as Id hoped and once Machin left he didnt seem to fit in with Kendall then Reid, what might have been...

David Silva.

Remember fergusons sneering comment of City think theyve signed David Villa? Who's laughing now

I’d have to join Ric, I’m 45 & thought I’d grown out of it :) Haaland is gonna be massive, Tevez a close second and the very start of piss boiling, Keith Curle third, more for the fee than anything, remember thinking £2.5M wow! City are back, highest for a defender at the time, Shearer only went for a million more the following season, shit maybe we where the original transfer fee fluffers

Valeri Bojinov, looked the part, had a superb debut, then spent his career in the treatment room.

At least he kept Micha in check....

 

[The Colonel]

John Gidman

 

[BlueMoonday]

Tevez

[Platt Lane veteran]

I remember going into school after signing Trevor Francis, telling all the rags we were going to win the League. Went rapidly downhill after his glorious debut.

 

[City Raider]

Sergio

 

[richards30]

Tevez was a huge signing in both the player and the significance of it? Watching the rags fuming about it was the main time I thought right, we are actually going places now aren’t we!

 

[Sky Blue]

Carl Griffiths.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Kun. Anyone who’d watched him at Madrid knew.

 

[cranky24]

I remember getting supper giddy about signing Samaras. He looked like prime fat Ronaldo on YouTube and signings of any quality were few and far between in them days. How disappointed I was...

 

[Lavinda Past]

Tevez all day long.

 

[blue61]

Rodney Marsh for 200k, remember seeing the headline in the MEN as a giddy schoolboy. Was in the Platt Lane for his debut, no seat counters needed that day!

Mick Channon back in the day, England star, record transfer, fans favorite, what could possibly go wrong!!!

Channon spent more time on his ass and talking about his friggin horses than he did playing football.
