AJF Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Some wild transfer rumours flying around got me thinking about signings that captured the imagination of fans, so I wanted to hear about the time you thought your team had pulled off a stunning swoop or grudgingly admired the signing of another team. The transfer doesn’t necessarily need to have turned out to be a successful one, just one that really impressed you. I was a little young when Rangers signed Gazza and Laudrup, but I think I started to appreciate signings like Ronald de Boer and Flo. I also remember getting very excited about the signing of Nuno Capucho only to be let down miserably. Outwith Rangers, I think Robbie Keane joining Celtic was another I was quite shocked at, along with Frank Sauzee at Hibs of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik's tongue Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Henrik. I was the only person in the entire world who knew just how brilliant he’d be. I’m cool like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Lee Miller. Seemed like a good, young upcoming striker. Paid about £250K for him. He fell over a lot. Left for Aberdeen on a free transfer a year later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Brora Rangers signing Ross Tokely caused a bit of a stir at the time. Went from ICT to Ross County to Brora. Edited December 15, 2020 by G51 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Airdriedonians signing Gus Caesar and Justin Fashanu. A few of their fans at the time weren't particularly known for their progressive views. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 When Steve Archibald went to Hibs it was a bit of a big deal. He's probably the only ex Barcelona player to be booked at City Park too (Spartans v East Fife) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 That time we signed Ronaldinho. 36 minutes ago, tamthebam said: When Steve Archibald went to Hibs it was a bit of a big deal. He came to us the next year and him along with Victor Munoz were, despite their advancing years, still capable of lighting up a crowd. it seems surreal to me that they signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Patterson Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Honestly, probably Lawrence Shankland for us. It didn't look like happening after we lost the playoff final, and then out of the blue the club announced in the funniest way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two biggest 'WTF' signings I've seen. De Boer etc were huge coups but it was at a time where pretty big names were always coming to the Old Firm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Moneybags Dons getting Charlie Nicholas from Arsenal by offering more money. We'd have to sell Pittodrie to do similar nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
