[Football] What rumour about a player coming to the Albion has excited you the most?

[raymondo]

Before my time sadly, were there rumours before he came then?

I imagine most would have dismissed them whilst laughing like a drain

For me it was a school playground rumour (unbelievable of course) until our dads confirmed it by bringing home the evening argus!

In recent times it’s KLL, got to be given we already new what he could bring. In Division 3 he was so far ahead of the rest he was incredible to watch. One of those rare players that alone put bums on seats. Was enormously excited we’d be signing him permanently. A brilliant talent who electrified the crowd on numerous occassions.

Andy Ritchie

The one that is on his way, our marquee signing that no one knows about yet, the one that is going to set The Amex on fire this season and having us frothing at the mouth.
Wonder who it is.

I was really excited when we signed Lee Steele.

I was really excited when we signed Lee Steele.

He’s now a nutritionist and tax advisor in Liverpool

Khouma Babacar last season (maybe season before).

He was one of my goto signings on Football Manager and ended up being our all time top scorer in one save. I was ridiculously excited when we were linked even if it was only for a day or two.

Almost wet myself over this one for the day exact same reasons. Hopefully we can sign Carlos Fierro or Jan Fiete Arp next...

Vicente, undoubtedly. Still can’t believe we saw him in the stripes.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Bas Savage?

No the blonde haired beauty that was Robbie!

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Matt Derbyshire.

This !

 

[Betfair Bozo]

Vicente by the widest margin imaginable.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Recently, ..... Juan Mata

CMS for me, I was at withdean when he absolutely tore us apart and thought how fantastic it would be to have a player like him, then we swooped, loved his run forest run attitude.

 

[Weststander]

Vicente, Bridge, Murray's return.

Wasn't excited about CMS arriving, instead gutted about Poyet's spiteful Muzza blunder.

 

[Robinjakarta]

Bobby Smith. Mel Hopkins, a very cultured Welsh international left back from Spurs displaced there by Ron Henry of the 60/61 double winning side. Barry Bridges and Martin Chivers, both England internationals.

Daniel Webb. Whoever the manager was at the time (Coppell?) made a comment pubicaly that he would be the next Teddy Sherringham, who was of course in his prime then.

Adams or Taylor.

CMS. At the time it was a real coup. Rarely have I wanted an Albion signing to work.

Kinda feel something’s missing from your final sentence there...

Fred Binney. Without a doubt the greatest striker ever lived.
