The last signing you got excited about?

[Simba]

and as a kid: Freddie Mwilla, Emmant Kapengwe and of course Oscar Arce.

And you thought Balaban was a mistake...

Milner

He had a mediocre first season then a belter, lets hope its de ja vu for Downing

[spammie]

Dean Sauders

[PaulTheVillan]

Loved this kit too.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Steve Staunton & Dean Saunders

[Leighton]

Stan Collymore, then Dean Saunders. We have very rarely signed a big star from a bigger club.

Was pretty pleased when we got Delph. Still am. He'll be superb so long as he refuses to play right back.

[Clampy]

I was well pleased when we signed Cuellar. Thought he was awesome for Rangers in their Uefa Cup run.

Stan Collymore, then Dean Saunders. We have very rarely signed a big star from a bigger club.

Deano was a big star though also from Liverpool

Merson. Also Six, and  it looked so promising after his debut.

[garyshawsknee]

Ditto JPA.

[Risso]

Sasa Curcic.  When I moved up to the NW, the firm I worked for got free tickets to watch Bolton, so I saw a fair bit of him the season before he signed for us.  He was brilliant for them.

[Chipsticks]

Baros.

Honestly felt like a "World class striker" for a minute.

dont judge a book and all that eh?

[curiousorange]

Milan Baros

Ripped the teams the Czech Republic played in Euro 2004 apart and was a genuinely exciting striker at that point. Even scored on his Villa debut.

But the one I got most excited about was Stan Collymore.
