appeared on here. I am sure there are some Premier League affeciandos and foreign league watchers on here who had heard of plenty of them, but not too many I wouldn't have thought.

Krul and Jota for me, which makes me wonder how desperate to make signings I am that I can get so excited about signing players I had never heard of

Oh and just in case any of you had missed it, we are fecking desperately in need of a striker signing by 11pm tonight.

Every time a new thread has been started today I've read the name and thought there was a decent chance that it had just been made up.

I have heard names we are signing in the morning for the first time, and then forgotten them again by tea time after the deal has collapsed.

Only with strikers. Murray and Zamora really wanted to come here which was very fortunate. Ulloa took a couple of years to get. Hemed, we did well with. Six seasons worth there though which is a very small number for a team that has been challenging for most of that period. Chailey will be along to tell me if I've missed anyone.

Tonight we will have another Cult star to talk about for years signed up...I hope.

Some players I had not heard of before we signed them either permanently or on loan: Peter Ward, Brian Horton, Bobbyt Zamora, Leo Ulloa. And I was still relatively interested in football in general rather than just the Albion as I am now for the first three of those.

Argentina born - doesn't that make him an Argie too? What a mix for a defender!
