Couch for me. Big name at the time and helped to raise the profile of the club.

Shaq. I could not believe that he was signing for us after Bayern and Inter.

Kenwyne was a big signing for us, but maybe Shaq was bigger.

One of the most exciting times for me was when after years of shit we finally got ourselves an exciting young manager who signed an exciting young striker... A dozen or so games later the striker was injured & the manager had fucked off to be an assistant.

Eidur, Hoekstra, Kitson and in more recent times Afobe... I've learnt my lesson and stopped watching YouTube compilations of our signings now!

I got a feeling when Patrick Burger signed that things were changing, the signing was a good one.
But Bojan for me.
Watching him in the pre season friendly was unreal

What signing got you most excited? Shaq in most recent times for me I knew Stoke was changing when we signed Ryan Shawcross.

I was fairly excited by the Bony signing This is probably my answer. I'm sure he had the most goals in a calendar year in England before he joined City. I thought that was the Bony we would be getting that would take us up a level. How wrong was I?! Either him or the double signing of Pennant and Gudjohnsen which were both done incredibly late on deadline day one year. Edit - He was Premier League highest scorer in 2014 (Calendar year)

For me has to be Muniesa in recent times. We were in a taxi to Malaga airport just after we signed him and talking football with the driver. He seemed a bit perplexed when I said I supported Stoke in the Premier so I told him we'd just signed Muniesa at which he got very animated, pronouncing the name in his Spanish accent "Ah yes Muniesa" and I got very excited.

I had no clue if he was going to be any good or not but purely because he was our first ever Β£100'000 player, I was proper excited when we signed that Greenhoff bloke.

Not sure if this is the right place to say this but, if I live to be 105, I will never, ever, remember where I was or what I was doing when I discovered we had signed Morgan Fox.

Thought you said you were knocking one out to Cilla Black and the signing put you right off. Remember you used to sing "surprise, surprise . The unexpected hits you between the eyes" right on ejacualtion Remember?

Shaqiri - it was proof we could finally sign the best players in the world even though it didnt quite work out and he only played when he wanted to.
