For me, the return of Mick Channon

[Tanlee]

Ronnie Ecklund.. Couldn't believe at the time we had signed a player from Barcelona although learnt later in life it was Barcelona B

Think we need to rewrite the thread.

PETER OSGOOD

Keegan. 

[Saint Marky]

Can’t say I knew much about the Fernandes signing, but that lad is going to be one hell of a player.

I get excited by all of our new signings but sadly it always seems to wear off pretty quickly 😆

[SW5 SAINT]

Ross Stewart…..

[Dan Johnson]

• Kevin Phillips - Thought we'd have the perfect "big man/small man" combo with him alongside Beattie.
• Dani Osvaldo - 1 Goal Every 2 Games for Roma, 3 Goals in 4 for Italy the year we signed him. Saints, Signing Italys Current Number 9!!! looked every inch the super star when he turned up and was a peak "Cortese" signing, honestly felt like it was the start of the club competing for the top 4.
• Ryan Bertrand - felt like at the time it was an extremely shrewd signing and was really excited!!! I thought he looked every inch the natural successor to Ashley Cole at Chelsea, every time I saw him play. When we were finishing 5th/6th/7th I thought for those 3 seasons he was probably the best left back in the league. Mr consistent for the majority of his time with us, maybe one of our best ever value signings in my eyes. 
• Aaron Ramsdale - Dont think we've signed a player with a bigger reputation in some time

[Marsdinho]

I'm 48, so whoever we signed 40 years ago.

[Andy Hill]

Ross Stewart - be even more exciting when he is just one week away !

[Window Cleaner]

Pochettino, since then 10 years of average everything.

[pimpin4rizeal]

One of the biggest ones for me was jordi clasie (the Dutch xavi) after having watched him for Netherlands knowing he was such a lynchpin if koemans feyenoored side and all our other imports looking good this looked amazing signing on me paper

[saintquin]

Crazy to think we signed Keegan, Shilton, Mills, Watson, Nicholl, Osgood and George among others. Really hard to get excited about any over the last 25/30 years!

And Alan Ball...

J-rod. 

Getting updates from our very own inside info hotel worker, and the photos of him outside hours before any mainstream news outlet cottoned on was fantastic. 

Turned out to be a cracking signing to boot.

Getting the reigning European Footballer of the Year, Kevin Keegan, was the all-time most exciting signing. Most of us can remember exactly where we were when we heard the news, but It's certainly exciting that we got Aaron Ramsdale, the goalkeeper from the 2023 PFA Premier League Team of the Year, to come here the following year to a newly promoted club. It's one of those rare occasions when 100% of our fans were overjoyed to hear the news that a player had signed.

Just look at the quality of the players in this team. That's the level he's at:
