Winter transfer window

I think he might be the one I'm most nervous about first watching . I want the lad to deliver!

 

It was Paul Bracewell returning from Everton for his second spell for me. What a time he had at Everton, and couldnt wait to see him back. Not the most exciting of footballers eh

 

2 jump out for me for different reasons

Was buzzing when we signed Ballard, been a huge fan of his for a few yrs before joining us

The other one is Sessegnon, I remember seeing him for PSG vs Arsenal in a preseason friendly and thought wow what a talent. Couldn't believe it when we signed him, loved watching him play

 

Loved watching Sess. We had some lovely footballers in that period, real technicians. He was one of the best.

 

I remember that friendly in the Emirates Cup. Was my first sighting of him and I had exactly the same reaction when we signed him.

 

times like this makes me miss the buzz of new signings on twitter,

 

Defoe the first time, I couldn’t keep my eyes off my phone. Johnson and Fletcher too, they felt like real statements at the time.

 

Possibly the most excited I've felt over signing a player was Craig Gordon, not so much for the lad himself but for what the signing seemed to represent. I couldn't believe we were spending that kind of money at all (£9M if I remember correctly?) never mind just on a young keeper. It felt like the club was about to take off with Quinny running the show, Roy Keane in the dugout and owners willing to spend unprecedented amounts (for us) on transfer fees. I wish I could have bottled that feeling to help get me through the 13 or 14 years that followed lol

 

Going off others reaction as no idea how good ELF is, but reminds me of Boro getting Merson in the Championship

 

Could be Saudi jets

 

its like when Wolves got Ruben Neves in the championship.

Its just a shame its only for 20-23 games

 

I'd never heard of Neves either tbh

 

plane coming into land

now landed

 

The Enzo has landed!

 

maybe cos I said Joao Neves and it was Ruben Neves

 

Didnt Wolves only get him because of the agent? Mendes?

This lad is coming for something more worthwhile than an agent fee tbh. Probably a bigger coup for us in that respect. Hope he has a similar impact.

 

Landed.

 

Both signed on the same day. Really thought we were going places

 

Remember being over the moon when we signed Melville, Ferguson, Grey, Rogerson at the same time only for the daft sods to all be in the same car crash.
Back in the days when you had to pay a pound a minute on clubcall for transfer news, had a few clips around the lugs back then when Buzby dropped the bill on the mat.

 

Ah yes I remember that feeling.

I had similar excitement when we signed Craig Gordon for £9m.

£9m on a keeper ffs. It was unheard of!
