Past signings you were "excited" about...

[baildon blue]

ELANO theres always something special about about a brazilian and he could hit a ball shame he left

 

[Motty]

Danny Mills - thought his 'hardboy' approach would do wonders for us. How wrong I was.

Hatem Trabelsi - I remember previously seeing him linked with the likes of Arsenal and United before we signed him so I thought we were going to be on to a right winner there.

Samaras - Remember everyone buzzing over him, especially as we still hadn't replaced Anelka and of course £6 million was a major splashout for us back then. Thought it would just be a matter of time before he fired us into Europe and we sold him on to Arsenal or Chelsea for about £20 million.

Bojinov - I know it wasn't entirely his fault it didn't work out here, but was buzzing from what I'd seen and heard about him. Who knows how far he would have gone with us if not for injuries.

 

[Metal Biker]

Antoine Sibierski.

They were rough times.

 

[HeyMark]

hamman, was buzzing when we signed him

 

[lunebleu]

Rodney Marsh. I was'nt alone---55,000 there to see him make his debut. Little did we know!

Loved the three signings John Bond made in 1980 - Hutchison, Gow and McDonald then Trevor Francis a year later. Happy days then - happier days now

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Dabo. I remember seeing him play for lazio about a week before we signed him and I thought he looked mint.




How wrong was I. :/

 

[bondsman]

Anelka, weah, elano, robinho, bianchi, buster Phillips then he played :(

 

[BoyBlue_1985]

Nery Castillo

He was supposed to be so good at the time

 

[thenabster]

Jo !!!

I remember his 2 goals he scored against Inter the previous year and when he signed I was so excited, I felt we had the next Brazilian #9.
