The signings made by your team that most excited you

[stokeriño]

Individual signing...Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, I think?

But really my answer should be the entire summer of 2003 because of how fucking mental it was.

[brenchill]

Yeah, I can imagine how pumped you were for Veron!

[DavidMarrio]

Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso, Javier Mascherano. I'd also say when we got Robbie Fowler back just because of the nostalgia of him returning.

[Matt]

Robbie Fowler. He was my favorite non Leeds player prior to signing. Shame he went and got crippled shortly after

[FLiam]

Mesut Özil, Sol Campbell, Mesut Özil, José Antonio Reyes, Mesut Özil, Lukas Podolski, Mesut Özil, Santi Cazorla and did I mention Mesut Özil?

[Benjamin]

Fernando Torres, Raul Meireles, Andy Carroll (lol), Maxi Rodriguez, Robbie Keane (double lol), Javier Massecherano.

If for some influence from a computer game it would have to be Coutinho, dude was a stud when I signed him, got so excited when Liverpool did the same.

[stokeriño]

Yeah, I can imagine how pumped you were for Veron!

He was the sixth big signing of that window. It had already won by that point.

(Said summer included: Glen Johnson, Geremi, Wayne Bridge, Damien Duff, Joe Cole, Juan Sebastian Veron, Adrian Mutu, Alexey Smertin, Hernan Crespo, Claude Makelele. Oh, and Neil Sullivan. )

[Benjamin]

Oh yeah, that was my last season as a Chelsea fan, and being a big Argentina fan that was such exciting news for me (it happened right after Argentina got knocked out of the World Cup in the group stage, no?)

unless a year later is classed as "right after" then no

[Colly]

Benkid is terrible at this.

[Jimmy]

Was pretty excited for Lamela this summer. And before that, I was over the moon when we signed Lloris.

[Colly]

Mines the blatantly obvious one of Alan Shearer, but the 'spend silly money' era generated some interest and I remember being excited about the likes of Duff and Luque.

[Monkey D. Lars]

I recent years?

I was so happy Giovanni van Bronckhorst returned. Still today he's one of my favorite players I ever watched playing.

And is his last season as a footballer he did this:

Clearly one player there stands out as being better than the rest!

Ne-il Sull-i-van...NEIL SULLIVAN!

[MDK]

That's Nigel Martyn, isn't it? >_> Excellent 'tasche

Orient have never really bought anyone big in my recent memory, its all been free transfers. I guess when Amara Simba joined us in '98. He was an old lad when he arrived but he had 3 caps for France and 2 goals, had played with some top quality French players back when he was playing in Ligue 1.

[stokeriño]

Noted AFC Wimbledon keeper, Nigel Martyn.

[MDK]

All those keepers look the same

[Blue Rosler]

Mascherano, Tevez, Di Canio and the strike-partnership of Kitson/Hartson

[MDK]

Mascherano, Tevez, Di Canio and the strike-partnership of Kitson/Hartson

But what about Lee Chapman?

[Nerf]

Genuinely, the most excited I ever got by a signing was Robbie Keane
