I'm thinking, e.g.
1. Tony Currie
2. Mark Falco
3. John Spencer
4. Loic Remy
5. Djibril Cisse
The feelgood factor's back, so, feck FFP - don't you agree it's time for another? And, if so, who would you consider (unrealistically but tearing-up the-Champishly)?
Danny Ings?
Aleksandr Mitrovic?
The Terror Bat?
I'll get me meds.

Darren Peacock from Hereford was a great signing but hardly "marque" |  |

Kenny Sansom was positive. A lot of failedmarque signings, Joey Barton, SWP, Ceasar, Rio Ferdinand to name a few | |

Agree - didnt read the thread title closely
Ok
Switch to the best marquee signing ever, which at the time due to his Chelsea connections i was unsure on
The late great Ray Wilkins | |

Under Bulstrode we made a number of signings including Colin Clarke, Andy Sinton, Kenny Samson and possibly Trevor Francis which certainly signalled intent for the club at the time, then he had one session too much with Pearl. | |

Some people's 'marquees' are another person's washed out tent in Skegness! Not sure I agree with definitions of success either.
However, it's hard to look beyond Tony Currie as being the best example of a true marquee signing of the time, and a success too! |  |

Was Falco a signing with intent ?
I seem to remember us resurrecting his career after Rangers and Watford |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Adel Taarabt gets my vote. Was on loan prior to signing permanently, was a highly thought of prospect who instantly turned into one of the best players in the championship and was often the driving force for the team that won us the league. |  | | |

Terry Venables, Dave Thomas, Frank McLintock & Ray Wilkins for definite.
I would also include Rodney Marsh & Stan Bowles, but I'm not certain that they were regarded as "marquee" at the time. Within a month of signing they were though! | | | |

Darren Peacock

I wouldn't have called signing Darren Peacock from fourth division Hereford a marquee signing unless you mean Gavin? |  |

Stan Bowles |
?
Stan was hardly known then, he was just starting to get noticed but he was playing in the second division at a fairly remote outpost like Carlisle. | |

Terry Venables
Frank McLintock
John Hollins
David Seaman. Was considered at the time one of the country's hottest prospects with a few teams after him.
I'd also put the re-signing of Clive Allen from Palace in 1981 as fairly marquee. | |

Rio Ferdinand and Park Ji-Sung were definitely marquee signings at the time.
Both were well past their best though. |  | | |

John Gregory? He was an established First Division Player when he dropped down to sign for us I think. Here he is talking about it. He also mentions Simon Stainrod who came to us for about £300,000 from Oldham.

I replied to this being pointed out earlier if you read the thread through
I misread the thread title and saw it as just great signings.
I replaced Darren Peacock with Ray Wilkins as well.
But thanks for pointing out my dumb assed ness again. Glad I am keeping you on your toes !!! 🤣 | |
