Darren Bent, Djibril Cisse and the O'Shea-Wes Brown double deal all felt big at the time. As a bairn, signing Lee Clark for £2.5m after relegation felt big, before that the biggest fees I think were Quinny, David Kelly etc
9 single PL games as a lone striker. He was mostly in the 10 just off a centre forward. Linked up very well with Bendtner in 11/12, they were a joy to watch at times. please log in to view this image
It's Sess baby... I was watching everything I could find for hours - and I loved every time he touched the ball for us - drawing foul after foul - tricks and skills win the day as a fan - getting us off of our seats. I knew he would be an X factor - I was delighted and fascinated. Diarra and Sadiki are quality and I can feel they will be really good and profitable for us, and a big start of staying up (I believe we can and will) - but no, they won't rizzle the tizzle like Sess did. Mikataudze would get me more excited if it happens, but still no. Having the single most skillful player in the Premier league - that was what Sess was - and I knew it from the moment we were linked.
I posted it a few days ago but according to Billy Jones, JW got a raw deal with us and was always available to play. He was just never picked.
Gordon Steed Cisse Bent Sessegnon Gyan Johnson Defoe Rodwell (idiot) Relevant to the level Mcgeady Grigg (IDIOT) Jack Clarke Roberts Jobe all of the ones this summer too
I tried to think of a starting line up of the players I was most excited about, here we go: Gordon Hume (watched him quite a few times for Linfield and loved his tackling) Ballard Kone Van Aanholt Mvilla Cana Medina (believed we were about to sign an Argentinan superstar) Steed Sess Bent
