Who did you think was the most exciting signing Albion have made

JBizzle · May 30, 2017

Bobby first time was massive. £100k on a new striker? Awesome stuff... CMS, for a then record fee was huge too, but it'll always be Vicente. Capped for Spain, subject to a ludicrous Real Madrid bid when at Valencia and a huge talent.

As a kid - Andy Ritchie, more recently the return of Bobby.

Jimmy Case as he still had plenty of years left in him (as proved when he then went on to Southampton). Although not quite in their prime, Frank Worthington and Joe Corrigan were pretty good signings at the time.

I agree that he was Albion's most exciting player eventually, but when he was signed from Burton for £4000 (?) no one knew about him. He played in the reserves for some time and scoring on a regular basis. It was when Wardy took Fred Binney's place away to Hereford that most of us sat up and took notice. Getting his debut goal in the first minute helped, and I woz there!

so was I.
living in Shrewsbury at the time

CMS before a mentally arthritic manager refused to play to his strengths.

Michael Robinson - thought he was a player with a lot of potential and chuffed that he signed for us. I was proved right too [emoji106][emoji838]

Without thinking too much - a couple from long ago and now.

Jimmy Case. As a child in the 70s when it seemed everyone supported Liverpool. That was a signing and a half.

More recently Wayne Bridge.

Vicente ? Yes amazing to see him in the stripes - but you have to ask yourself - if he is that good why Brighton ? I think in the end we found out why.

With the other two - they could have easily had success in another Old Division One / Premier League Club.

Of course it's Bobby Smith. Nothing comes close. It would be like Wayne Rooney signing for Exeter.

This.

Jonny Dixon.

Or maybe Vicente.

That's the guy and weren't we all gagging to get him signed up before Ron Noades gazumped us? Dodged a bullet there and ended up with a legend.

Lol. We had Pinamonte on loan and he was shit. Were we in for him on a permanent? Crazy idea.

Hillian1 · May 31, 2017

Joe Corrigan was quite exciting at the time.

Have to admit I had absolutely no idea who Vicente was when he signed.
