Having just read on a different thread about us leaving it to the last minute and signing up the unwanted dregs,what early signings/summer signings in the past have got you optimistic about the upcoming season?
Remember us signing Nigel Pepper I think relative early, thought that was a great signing for us at the time and gave me a bit of a urge to go renew my season ticket,Peter Morrisson followed shortly after with a promising reputation too
No Internet for rumours in them days just picked up a copy of the evening telegraph and there it was out the blue on back page
The obvious answer is 2004 with the arrival of Crosby, Baraclough & Musselwhite, all of whom – from memory – arrived in good time. Crosby in particular had been brilliant for Oxford in previous seasons and I remember being really excited about the idea of a penalty-taking centre back.
