Calvin Zola

I thought Calvin put in an outstanding performance today and scored 2 excellent goals and it got me wondering 'Is Zola our best ever purchase in terms of being a big name?'.

I had seen Calvin a few times in the past and he is a very well known player around the Football League recognised by most fans of much bigger clubs. He is also still at the right age (not someone at the end of his career) and because of a fall out at Crewe and his contract ending, we got him at an affordable price and a player who might normally have been out of our reach but for circumstances breaking in our favour.

He is a very good player and I just wondered if other people also feel that we are lucky to have him at the Pirelli and that he is probably the biggest 'star' we have ever bought?

Any views?

Well known player around the Football League, recognised by most fans of bigger clubs - biggest star we've ever signed............Nigel Clough could be another contender...?

I actually meant for a fee ......rather than someone more at the end of their career such as Nigel or Ian Storey-Moore etc

We were actually saying yesterday, IF he carries on playing the way he is and stays relatively injury free, we will be lucky to hold on to him, the bigger boys will be keeping a close watch.

In this form he is a top L1 striker without ANY doubt. He absolutely took Leicester's first choice CBs to the cleaners on their own patch too of course....

It was good to see Calvin getting a bit of recognition on the Football League Show too.
