Obviously Laudrup comes to mind bringing in Michu etc.But what about the likes of Rodgers,Sousa,Martinez,Jacket and Flynn.Who made the most significant signings with their time at the club. | | | |  |

With the exception of Sousa, who managed to spunk most of his transfer budget on Beattie & Cotterill, they've all made some pretty significant signings:
Flynn brought in Trundle, Britton, Martinez & Robinson.
Jackett signed Monk & Pratley.
Martinez had loads - Scotland, Bodde, de Vries, Rangel, Williams, Gomez.
Rodgers - Sinclair, Glyfi, Vorm, Caulker.
Laudrup - Michu, Hernandez, Chico, JDG. (Not including this seasons signings yet).
I'd say probably Martinez, given that he spent very little money signing most of those players, although obviously a lower quality than we've got now, to have Bodde, Scotland and Rangel in a L1 team was brilliant.
Having said that, most of them managed some duffers, like Sylvain Meslien, Josh McEachran, Lita, Keiran Durkan, Priskin. | | | |

Flynn brought in Britton, Martinez, Tate, Thomas, Trundle and others. All of whom were instrumental in getting us where we are now in one form or another. And he did it all for no cash at all. For that reason, I'm going for Flynn.
But this is undoubtedly about to now descend into the usual nonsense about how rubbish Flynn was and how I don't know what I'm talking about so after this post, I'm out. | |

He didn't bring Thomas in.
Plus he was shite etc etc...  | |

Who signed James Thomas then? Must've been Cusack? | |

Flynns acquisitions in the transfer market were first class.
His "flexi time" approach to the job was the only black mark on a job well done - although it does make me laugh when the anti Jackett brigade pipe up and say that he was only successful because of the work of Flynn  | |

Yup.
Mind you, it was pretty obvious that he was signing for us no matter who the manager was so putting it down to Cusack might be pushing it. | |

I think it's fair to say that every manager since Flynn has benefited from the work their immediately predecessor did. That's not to say that all the credit should go that way of course. Every manager from Flynn since has a done a fine job for this club to one extent or another. I was no particular fan of Jackett for much of his time here but even I'm not churlish enough to deny him the credit for the promotion he achieved and for leaving at the right time with more class than any of the managers since him have managed to leave with. | |

Time is a great healer.
I think Martinez has brought in the most significant signings.He started the Spanish flavour down here signing Rangel,Orlandi,Gomez etc.Without that input i don't think we'd have adopted the Spanish mentality which has got us to where we are now. | | | |

To be honest you could make an argument for any of them, Sousa excepted. | |

Martinez wouldn't have been here in the first place were it not for Flynn bringing him here, so the entire legacy can be traced back to the diminutive dipsomaniac. | |

I'm a big KJ fan and even I wouldn't argue for his record in the transfer market being best.
Think you have to go for either Laudrup or El Greaseball. | |

Not having that. Van Der Gun was a great signing.... | |

Jackett's signings were decent when he didn't have much money to spend, most of his L2 signings were very good, but he spoiled it by spunking so much money away on Fallon, Craney and Darren Way. | | | |

To be fair to Flynn it was a miracle he got anybody to sign the state the club was in back then. | |

Can't split Flynn and Martinez.....they set the foundations for where we are now. | | | |

I agree | |

Nothing to be embarrassed about. I don't think he played more than 2 games for us!
I remember Jackett spending 300k on Rory Fallon and being ridiculously excited by us splashing that amount of money! | |
