Marquee signing 14:23 - Nov 1 with 5090 views | itfc_bucks | Post below about the forthcoming transfer window and the likelihood (or otherwise) of a "marquee signing" being made got me thinking - who was our last marquee signing? Best I've got is Legwinski. I can't think of another since where I've genuinely gone and wondered how the hell we've signed so-and-so. |  | | |  |

Marquee signing on 14:34 - Nov 1 with 3695 views | jayessess | I think in reality we pretty regularly get the bunting out for signings we think will be gamechanging (they rarely were). James Norwood in 2019 springs to mind. |  |

That's a good shout. Don't laugh when you read this, but at the time, I genuinely felt he could've been our Jamie Vardy. |  | |  |

Marquee signing on 14:52 - Nov 1 with 3557 views | clive_baker | I wouldn't say we've had many, certainly not as many as we would if I were in charge like a game of football manager. Nothing I like better than signing a 39 year old ex. International legend to L2. Not sure Legwinski was particularly marquee tbh, same as Campo really. Attracting a 33/34 year old to the Championship is easy enough if the money is right. Both had been good Premier League players, without being top players or regular internationals. Celina was probably a coup to get to L1 from Dijon. Morsy also given he was and is a Championship player. Again, in both of those cases there are probably wider factors but ultimately money talks. |  |

With the social media side of things, I think he maybe lived up to your initial thoughts - although possibly more Mrs Vardy than Jamie? |  |

Probably would have been if we played a standard 2 uptop. |  |
