[Albion] What Albion signing got you most excited?

[Braggfan]

Michael Owen

 

[Giraffe]

Signing Bobby the first time, I went out and stuck my largest ever bet for us to win league two as soon as I heard he had signed permanently and it paid off very well.

Closely followed by re-signing Bobby and him capping it with that glorious late winner at Leeds. A hard and dirty celebration.

 

[Lower West Stander]

Graeme Smith.

We all knew he was the missing link when Kuipers' powers were waning...

 

[schmunk]

It's not quite happened yet, but I'm SOOOO excited that we might sign THE Ben White from THE Leeds United.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

CMS was the one I followed for longest and got most excited about. Felt like a statement signing at the time

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Knockaert was pretty good as was Murray coming back.

But I have to say I am still buzzing about Lallana

 

[Albion Dan]

Sergei Gotsmanov was one that really got me excited as a kid. Shame those skanks down the coast stole him off us.

 

[METALMICKY]

CMS for me. At the time it seemed the perfect antidote to Murray leaving because of not getting on with Poyet. As we all know it never really worked out and a shame as really nice bloke and professional.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Back in the day: Mark Flatts, Paul Dickov

Amex era: Wayne Bridge, Tomasz Kuszczak.

And Dean Hammond

 

[Eric Youngs Contact Lense]

It has a touch of irony about it, but I was very excited about Terry Connor leaving the mighty Leeds United to join us, 1983 I think?

 

[Return of the Rev]

Richard Tiltman

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Mine was Brian Clough too ...

When they announced it on Radio Brighton I just could not believe that a serious bit of football quality like him was coming to "lil ole Brighton".
Shame we were only a [short] stepping stone to the MIGHTY LEEDS for him !!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That time when Mickey Adams signed Eminem's dad

 

[Albion_Dave]

Frank Worthington.

 

[Barrow Boy]

Bobby Smith, ex Spurs and England legend playing for little old Brighton & Hove Albion, in the old 4th Division, you must be having a laugh shirley!
And that's how you challenge keepers, take him and the ball into the net.

The announcement of Poyet coming in as manager was a particularly exciting signing, even though he was inexperienced in management, it was clear that his name would attract a higher standard of player - which turned out to be the case. He also started our transformation from the lower leagues to Premier league regulars, it is still frustrating that he let his ego get in the way in the end.
Hopefully he looks back regrettably, although I doubt it, he is probably off playing golf somewhere!
Ees complicated!

 

[Wellesley]

Alan Biley. (****ing useless )

Also LuaLua.

F**k Poyet. He was so damn sure he was God's Gift to the Albion. First manager in recent times to benefit from loosened purse-strings. Guess we'll never know who could have achieved a bit more on the field while maintaining a bit more humility off the field

 

[Mellotron]

Not the most excited, but I remember the signing of Bruno making me think "blimey, so Vicente wasn't just a one off, we can now shop from the likes of Valencia!"

Obviously Bruno did turn out to be a QUITE good signing, also.
