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. |  | | |  |

Walton, Morsy and Celina were all a bigger reach for us than Legwinski, relative to where we were and they were when we signed them. |  |

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. | | | |

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? |  |

Leif Davis... 1million quid paid by a League 1 club to a Prem' club.. Drops two division to play for us.. And so far, hasn't disappointed... Gotta be in that hat, imo, as a marque signing. When you consider the level we are at.. |  | | |

A marquee would show some serious intent.
Campo was a good one. | | | |
