Can never remember if that's before or after 'imminent' but it sounds promising! |  | | |  |

Depends if you’re talking about signings or witness statements I guess. |  |

Appreciate these days it's nothing for the big clubs, but is it just me who gets a thrill simply reading that we're spending 10 million on a midfielder from abroad etc? Still not used to it! All those years of 'quiet transfer window expected at Portman Road' and Hawkins, Ward and Cornell etc etc.
Great to have a Dutchman back in a Town shirt too! |  | | |

When was the last time we signed anyone abroad that wasn't a loan? Who was it and how much?
Given how many years we have had of picking up frees and bringing in Journeymen and do a job types I think its quite understandable to get a little thrill from such developments. |  |

Larsen Toure perhaps?!
It is exciting! | | | |

Tete Yengi signed for us from Newcastle (Australia) but never made the first team.
The last first team player we've signed from a non-british club would technically be Steven Taylor from Portland Timbers, albeit he was a free agent.
In 2015 were our last permanent signings from abroad, and we actually had multiple in one Window with Knudsen from Esbjerg (Denmark), Malarczyk from Kielce (Poland) and Tommy Oar from Utrecht (Netherlands), plus Larsen Toure on a free having previously been in the French lower divisions |  |

I just checked Transfermarkt and it seems to be 10 years! 2015/16 season we signed Jonas Knudsen, Piotr Malarczyk and Tommy Oar! | | | |

I think Knudsen is the last one that qualifies as signing a foreign player into our first team. | |

Not sure I'd count youth players, although that caveat wasn't added, so I guess you win! | | | |

for a fee, do barry cotter & aaron drinan count? 0.3% of mick's irish signings... | |

There have been a few similar academy signings from Ireland since then, Cameron Stewart, Edwin Agbaje, Darragh McCann, Leon Ayinde, Daniel O'Connor, Daniel Babb off the top of my head. |  | | |

I dont think signing english players from abroad, into the youth time adds the same excitement. | |

seem to remember cotter and drinan were fees, though the exchange rate seems to be 100 drinans to the matusiwa | |

not that knudsen provided much excitement for us (except for the excitement every time he wound up one of his "long" throws)! | |

There will have been fees for some of those, I'm sure. More Drinan than Matusiwa, obviously.
And I suspect we paid something for Mendel to Anderlecht.

The latter pair were free agents so not signed from a club per se, they came in on trial. | | | |

Not sure if I'm misremembering but didn't he have a habit of scoring against Norwich?
Also netted the last goal of the McCarthy era. | |
