    Dunno how anyone can say Robbie Keane. The lad has hardly won anything.

    Roy Keane has won it all on club level, while being captain.
    Juninho won the world cup.

    True but look at Torres his 1st season at Chelsea was the same doesn't make his name any smaller :)

    I would have said Roy Keane but he was well past it when he come to us, another shout could be Bellamy

    Craig Bellamy was pretty big at the time aswell, considering most of the English press were rubbishing it at the time

    I know he wasnt technically a signing- but still surprised a lot of people

    Paul Lambert could be a good shout as well, fresh from marking Zidane out of a Champions League final.

    I'd probably go for Roy Keane. Juninho had won the world cup but was never considered anywhere near the same calibre as Keane.

    Doesn't matter about how many trophies they won. There's loads of great players that hardly won anything.

    Robbie & Roy Keane.
    Juninho.
    Gravesen.
    Bellamy.


    Henchoz..
    Ljungberg..

    Roy Keane.

    Juninho never even registered on my radar.

    Roy Keane.

    Mediocre, but high profile.

    Henrik was fairly high profile because of his reputation as a Swedish international when we signed him. I remember wondering how the * did we ever get him for £650,000. Regardless of profile he has to have been the biggest transfer bargain in Celtic history, if not SPL history.

    50 caps for Brazil and Man of The Match in the 2002 World Cup Final, did not register on your radar? :52:

    For this country Roy Keane, in worldwide terms Juninho was the most high profile. Even at 31.

    Gravesen was a huge coup when we got him, even though it didn't work out.

    I'm also fairly sure that Juninho didn't win the 2002 WC Final MOTM award.

    both keanes, sutton, juninho, and possibly berkavic were all high profile signings.

    gravisons was high profile in the sense that we has previously been signing the likes of caldwell, vargo, in the WGS years. i wouldnt put him in the class of the others
