Past signings you were "excited" about...

Clive Allen was a big and exciting signing when he came, as was Anelka. Trevor Francis was arguably the biggest name in English football when we signed him and , god, he looked good when he played.

When we got back in the premiership under Joe Royle, I heard the news on the way to work one morning and we had signed Wanchope and Weah on the same day. After all the years of struggling I thought, we are back!

Completely agree with this post. Put a fiver on us to win the league on the strength of it. I asked the bookie what odds I was getting, to which he laughed and said anything I wanted(100-1 by the way). Of course we romped it that year.......

I was overwhelmed when we signed Alan Kernaghan. He didn't let me down. The biggest pile of horseshit I ever saw at Maine Road.

Bojinov, i couldn't wait for him to come back from his injuries as i thought he was something special.

Kaz Deyna -says a lot about where City were, what state Britain was in, what state top flight football was in and how exotic Poland seemed at the time possibly. I do miss the Iron Curtain.
