This thread is not about whether you were right or wrong but rather which signings you most loved/hated when we made them.
Favourite -
1/ Luka Modric - Absolutely loved it when we signed ratboy. I'd been a huge fan since I saw him play against Arsenal in Europe and had been banging on about him on Spurs forums like an obsessed stalker ever since.
2/ Sergei Rebrov - Another player i'd watched in Europe. I remember posting that he'd be a better signing than Schevchenko. I was kind of right
.
3/ Gareth Bale - Saw him play in the Youth Cup Final against Ipswich. Saints lost but there was only one player on the pitch for me
.
Least Favourite -
1/ Glenn Hoddle - Not as a player of course but as a manager. Levy's first cock up because he was trying to curry favour with the fans. I know plenty disagree and would have him back tomorrow but I thought he was a terrible manager (and I still do). The most depressing thing was that being a Spurs legend he was always going to be hard to ditch.
2/ Federico Fazio - Never heard of him before he was linked but in the few hours between the ITK and the signing i'd watched enough YouTube vids to develop a distinct impression that this guy was Hutton dressed as Lahm. I know we've had worse CBs but nothing i've seen since has convinced me that I am wrong and being Argentine I can see Poch persisting with him no matter how bad he turns out to be. I really, really hope i'm wrong about this one
.
3/ Jermaine Defoe - Not the first time (I was all over that) but when we re-signed him from Portsmouth. Yeah, I know his record wasn't that bad but it was just the constant offsides and inability to score against any decent defence that thoroughly pissed me off.
So what were your best transfer moments when you had to explain to the wife that you hadn't just necked six Viagra but were just excited we'd signed Klinsmann, and also the worst when the window had just closed and you realised you now had to learn to spell Grzegorz . Are you a Jonah, or a smug **** who's always right?
