Which transfer has got you the most 'excited'?

Cantona obviously, Ruud signing in 2001 did too as he looked class. Andy Cole's too as it came more or less out of the blue.

Verón

andy cole's.

Defo Veron

Rooney

Veron for me too

Ronaldo after that friendly against Sporting, he was £#%&!ing fantastic in that game

I was buzzing about Rio at the time, after looking very good at the world cup

veron

Bryan Robson

Cantona. Had mix feelings because I hated him at the time but knew how good he was. Within seconds of seeing him play though, well the rest is :swoon:

Neil Webb.

funny how a club like ours hasn't really attracted a mega signing from the continent other than jsv.

yet look how successful we've been. proof that these foreigners aren't all they're cracked up to be.

Rooney

Ruud.

Knew he was the genuine article, knew he'd be a world class player for us.

(well, not *exactly* - but you know what I mean)

I recall quite a bit of scepticism about Eric, funnily enough. Yes, it was good to piss Leeds off, but the catastrophe of the previous spring still hung about like a bad smell......

More than one media pundit though SAF had lost "les marbles"

Arthur Graham. I was young.

All I remember on RI when Rooney was joining was vitriol

You would think they would leave you alone for at least one day whilst we signed the greatest young talent in the country.

Edit- Veron is a good answer btw, he was going to take us from English top dogs to European top dogs, shame he was actually shit. £#%&! you jem, £#%&! you

Cole and Cantona were greeted with a certain amount of sceptism is some quarters, mine included. From a general point of view, I wouldn't include either.

Rooney was a big one though, especially after his debut.

£#%&! me, talking about football is boring
