Player Valuation: £150m
At the time the club had to change banks to get enough money together to sign Peter Reid , we were completely strapped for money at that time and we were refused finance by our current bank. I remember reading an article by Howard Kendall on his signing..... so, it was a far bigger risk then than signing Gbamin is now.
I think Peter Reid had a far better reputation before coming here than we knew of Gbamin. The risk on Reid was that if he stayed fot we had a winner. Brands on the other hand speculated with a huge fee on a player with 9 previous injuries.
BIG difference.
