Our most important ever signing?

[Tubey]

Just seen that Kevin Campbell mobbing video in the excellent GOT video section, proper brilliant stuff.

Got me thinking though, who was our most important ever signing? For me, it probably was Kev, as I think we were down and out that season if he didn't arrive, as we were as bad as bad can be, but it may be because I'm not thinking properly as his name was the first to pop into my head.

Any others who match his importance?

In terms of obvious change, him or Andy Gray. In terms of the money paid, Southall.

 

[Tramps_mate]

No..

 

[Sid James]

Following a similar theme, Graham Stuart and Gareth Farrely for their goals, in those games

Dixie is the obvious one. Huge part of the folklore of the club.

But yeah Andy Gray probably.

I really thought Andy Van Der Meyde was a signing that would put us up there.

£2.5m seemed such a bargain at the time.

Obviously it went badly badly tits up.

Campbell was an immense sighning as mentioned.

Marcus Bent fit that system of one up top arguably better than anyone we've ever had, despite not being that good at football.

Super Kev by a long shot.

Things wouldve been a lot different.

Sandy Young, end of.

 

[helpimonfire]

Brett Angell.

Alan Ball, and Peter Reid were great signings for the great teams that were built around them to win trophies in different eras!​

Also thought Donovan turned our season around in his second spell, that first half of the season was easily the most dire team ive seen in decades and he came in got a few assists and added some creativity and we completely turned the season around

Toss up between Paul Holmes and Campbell.

In the premier league era?

Probably Lukaku. No joke. It's a signing that sent out a message of intent and progress.
Things haven't gone according to plan thus far, but we will turn a corner.

If you were asked this question at the start of the season, I think more people would be blowing his trumpet. So to speak.

I think it's safe to say it's more of a trombone than trumpet.
