13 Of the most exciting Cardiff City signings since Rick Wright landed Eddie Newton from Chelsea 1992 .

After a summer of transfer action, Cardiff City fans have already had plenty to get excited about this summer. But which signings have captured the imagination most in the last 25 years?

Since Rick Wright took over Cardiff City in 1992, every summer seems to have delivered enough transfer shocks to keep a team of soap opera script writers busy.

We have seen deals worth millions, star players nicked from rivals, and loan players who went on to become Bluebirds legends.

Gareth Rogers has been taken in by them all but here is his list of the Bluebirds' most exciting signings in the last 25 years.

if we were looking purely at loan signings i would say eddie newton and gary o'neill were the best ive seen in my time following the club.
deon burton was to be the next big thing when we loaned him off portsmouth and he scored twice on his debut and was average for the rest of his career.

Bit earlier, but Dave Bennett was a top player, also Stant and Dale.

Dave Bennett ....... i couldnt believe we were signing him.........and Willie Anderson got me all excited too...
otherwise i cant really go against that list..............everything i read about Daehli was very positive this year,and so far he seems to be the real deal............
