Two Years Ago…. 10:59 - Aug 27 with 1723 viewsStochesStotasBlewe

….i was having pinch me moments about the signings of Philips, Cajuste, Clarke etc.
I’m now in total head shaking mode with this news this morning about Abrahams and the unveiling of Palacios later, not to mention the other new additions previously.
Back in the day, getting one Paul Mariner type signing only came along every now and again.
Bloody hell.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

The owners must have been persuaded that we need to sign better players than last time if we are to have a chance of staying up.

I think the owners knew that without needing to be persuaded from what has been said.

I can't say I was pinching myself at many singings that year other than maybe Phillips who i was just in shock we got a deal for him on high wages....!

Cajuste I'd never heard of him. The rest were just good championship players at the time.

It is now surpassing the Marcus Stewart moment when we knew had got something special. A lot of this summers signings are like that, players we really needed to build forwards

To think that in the summer of 2000 our only significant signings were Hreidarsson (£4m) and securing Reuser (£1m) who had been on loan anyway. It was pretty much the same side that got promoted that finished fifth in the Premier League. How the game has changed!

Absolutely…..but you must be a teensy bit excited about these signings Carol xox

Even last summer everyone was very excited about Cajuste.

Poll: Ok gut feeling then, promotion?

Hmmm..... look how those signings turned out.... I think Palacios is a level above, the rest all felt / feel as though they're ok signings for the level. I look at Abraham the same way I viewed Phillips, a calculated punt for a player who's been decent at a high level in the past but never anything beyond that and currently looking to resurrect a career which is drifting. Palacios feels a bit like Esteban Cambiasso when Leicester signed him when first promoted, but obviously Palacios is a lot younger.

Excited Lancelot? I'm wet! Can't wait for our next rendezvous. xx

(Obviously, despite the poor judgement of our Chairman and C.E.O. I will always want the team and also the town more widely to do well.)

Indeed.

I think the difference is that now we CAN sign these players. We have shown we have a nucleus to build around instead of being a League 1 club that has just risen straight through 2 divisions.
