Wasn't Peter Reid only about £60k too? Incredible deal!!!

I mentioned him in the opening title thread particularly when Gordon Lee bid £600,000 for him only for him to fail his medical with crocked knees etc then HK came and snapped him up for a mere £60, 000 - like Andy gray missed training alot being iced up - became a world class midfielder so yes a deffo bargain!

Joe Parkinson only cost us £250,000. Loved him and it was a shame his career was cut short the way it was.

For what he brought to the club and inspiration in many a dull game it has to be Cahill for me. Not the most technical player but had the bravery of Gray, tenacity of Parkinson and the love of the club that pretty much every player describes

He was always about 7-1 for fgs as well. Like printing money when our Timmy was about.

Marcus Bent.

Andy Gray

 

[Dario Terracotta]

...add to that Andy Gray £250k and Kevin Sheedy £100k.

Cahill and Arteta have to be seen as incredible value for money along with other shrewd purchases of the Moyes era. I'd include Tim Howard who was a decent keeper for most of his time and served the club very well for many years.

Yep,Sheeds Eggs,what a deal, bonus being it must have made the reds eyes to waterlol

Always hoped Radzinksi would of been high on these type of opinion poles (a record fee for a Canadian btw) sadly his greatest moment was shaded by Rooney finishing off the "unbeatables" but if you recall his goal it was a belter, well from behind the goal it was

 

[Sol]

Omuar Niasse, Aidan Mcgeady both spring to mind

 

[allezlesbleus]

For older Blues....if we had had the Internet a few years ago...imagine the fume if we had built a team made of cheap , some of them half injured rejects from Winsford, Dumbarton, Tranmere, Bolton, LFc reserves, Burnley, Wolves, Sunderland nutter from Birmingham, Carlisle, converted a full back to centre half, little possibly overpriced fella from Stoke.......!!!!!

 

[blue61]

£120,000 for Sharpie worked out alright like.

 

[Scouse]

@Joey66 you little scamp, you can't start a thread from the late 50's then chalk Dixie down as No.1 that's...errr...cheating.

Anyway my choice would be Llandudnos greatest bin man...Wales Wales number 1!!!

 

[Tim's tourettes]

Nigel Martyn Richard Gough

 

[hibbo'sclass]

Derek Mountfield 30k,
Kevin Richardson & Gary Stevens. How much the pair you ask - nothing.
