Best Ever Signings ?

[Amokachi1995]

Kanchelskis was world class. Rodriguez though potentially on the wane was tied up with Ancelotti and felt like moving to a different level (clearly not in Hindsight).

Biggest one for me though was Lukaku. A young centre forward virtually guaranteed to deliver goals. He just seemed to signal opportunity and potential.

After Dixie,it has to be Bally doesn’t it?doesn’t get much better than signing the widely acknowledged MOTM in a World Cup Final only a couple of weeks later does it?

It was in the opening post. Not every nuance can be included in a thread title.

“Not just their contribution they gave to the team, but the frisson of excitement it gave you personally that they signed“

That can be put in the thread title...

For me it was Alan Ball. One of those when you remember where you were, I was in the local chippie when someone told me. Wasn’t he a world record signing at £110,000? I was 12 and went a lot that season,

Pithy titles are always the best. If you cba reading the first post in its entirety, all two lines that is, then I don't know what to think.

Kanchelskis. Could not believe they were letting us have a truly world class talent like that! And we also had Limpar!

 

[Gallaeo]

In terms of excitement, Kanchelskis miles ahead of anyone for me.

Honourable mentions (in terms of my anticipation)

Gary Speed
Dunc (mark 2)
Materazzi
Lukaku
Beattie (I know….. but when he signed….)

Don't think then. Simples...

And the question was in the title, not in the post...

Why do you fill your books with words instead of just publishing a title?

Bilyaletdinov
Strac

But it doesn't have to be.

Just because you don't want to read the opening post doesn't mean that people who do are wrong.

Howard Kendall as player/ manager was the beginning.
Without that ?
