[Albion] Be honest, how many of this Summer's signings had you heard of?

[loco61]

rosenior, hünemaier and one of the others

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Quite alarmed for some reason at the thought of how few of the first team squad I'd now be able to recognise in the street.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Zamora
Rosenior as we've played Hull quite a few times in the last few years, league & cup

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Zamora and Rosenior.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Zamora, Rosenior & Murphy.

 

[Stat Brother]

So you've never heard of one of:

1 Hemed, the player you posted about here 18 months ago

OR

2 Bobby Zamora

Strewth - I'm not sure which is the most worrying.

Hemed was just a name I plucked out of the La Liga scoring chart.
I was making a wider point about picking up some quality on the cheap as the Spanish economy had just nose dived.

No one was more surprised than me when his name search, on signing day, only bought up one post.

That now makes me chuckle at those posters who make so many ITK claims, anyone can get one right.

 

[blue'n'white]

Bobby
Rosenior
Murphy

A purely random pluck from a list? You ARE David Burke and I claim my £5.

Nah DB would have been told 'we can't afford him, find us a freebie'.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

3 Rosenior, Murphy & Zamora

 

[leigull]

Rosenior and Bobby.

And Harper.

 

[Guinness Boy]

FFS just voted two when the answer was FOUR.

Zamora - obvs.
Rosenior - from telly games, his dad and the fact that one of my mates, although now 100% Brighton, grew up in Torquay.
Bong - from Wigan because (sadly) I study team line ups of other Championship teams for some of my writing and he has an AMAZING name so he stood out.
Mäenpää - because we tried to sign him last season.

Had never seen the last two play though so players I had a good idea of hiw good they were = 2.

 

[OzMike]

Zamora and Reservoir, none of the rest.

 

[Iamapen15]

I hadn't heard of Uwe Hünemeier before and had no knowledge of Tomer Hemed although I probably would have seen him play.

The rest are fairly well known to me. I like to think I have a fairly good knowledge of all things football.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Zamora, Rosenior, Murphy

and Harper.

 

[pasty]

4 - Bong, Murphy, Rosenior & BZ

Which makes a nice change to be fair. Normally when we sign anyone, in "opposing sub coming" on style, I have to ask "Whoooooo" ?

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Rosenior, Zamora, Murphy, Goldson, Bong

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Oh and Jack Harper too

 

[LamieRobertson]

All of them.....................................why is my nose growing?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Uwe and Goldson the only ones I hadn't heard of, mainly due to FM admittedly.
