Title: Transfer record signing Post by: The Baron on June 29, 2007, 06:11:17 PM I was just having a discussion with a colleague of mine (Arsenal fan) about our club's transfer records and we were both surprised at how small Liverpool and Arsenal's were for top 4 clubs.
Liverpool's largest transfer to date is Djibril Cisse for 14 million followed by Emile Heskey for 11 million (neither was great - both were Houllier buys) Spurs have just signed Bent for 16.5 million - I was wondering how many other clubs outside the "big 4" have spent more in one go than these two clubs... Who are your clubs record transfers? Man Utd: Ferdinand 30 Million Chelsea: Shevchenko 30.8 Liverpool: Cisse 14 Arsenal: Wiltord 13 Spurs: Bent 16.5 Everton: Johnson 8.5 Bolton: Anelka 8 Reading: Greg Halford 2.25 Portsmouth: Sulley Muntari 7 Blackburn: Ferguson 7.5 Villa: Young 9.65 Middlesbrough: Maccarone 8.1 Newcastle: Owen 18 City: Anelka 12 West Ham: Ashton 7.5 Fulham: Marlet 11 Wigan: Heskey 5.5 Sunderland: Flo 6.5 Birmingham: Heskey 6.5 Derby: Robert Earnshaw 3.5 Celtic: Sutton/Hartson/Lennon 6 Rangers: Flo 12 Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: kinboshi on June 29, 2007, 06:20:55 PM Hopefully, £23M (give or take) next week for Fernando Torres.
;D The thing with record transfer fees is inflation. A player who cost £1M ten years ago would have obviously had a greater transfer fee in 2007 - both in terms of inflation and in light of the boom from Sky money for the top clubs.

True but some clubs have still gone close to the records of the big 4. Man City got Anelka for quite a bit didn't they? Shearer and Owen at Newcastle. Leeds for Fowler and Ferdinand? Amazing that Arsenal and Liverpool's record signings are relatively small. WOW Flo cost 12m?

There is always the exception, and what an exception. Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: fergus8 on June 29, 2007, 07:25:45 PM 20m reyes?
Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: Nem on June 29, 2007, 07:27:09 PM 20m reyes? rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao Also, where is my avatar? Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: kinboshi on June 29, 2007, 07:29:37 PM 20m reyes? According to Wikipedia (which isn't always right obviously): Quote Reyes signed with English club Arsenal FC during the January transfer window of the 2003-04 season. The £9m fee was negotiated with top ups, depending on the success of Arsenal, which could rise to £17m. Wenger did get Henry for £10.5M. Now that was a bargain. Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: The Baron on June 29, 2007, 07:31:15 PM 20m reyes? Don't think Arsenal paid more than 13 for Reyes in the end coz they won fuck all with him in the side. Wiltord - 14 million is their record I think. Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: The Baron on June 29, 2007, 07:32:14 PM What did city pay for Anelka?
Who was Leeds' biggest signing? Did Owen go for 18 million to Newcastle? Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: dan on June 29, 2007, 08:01:23 PM 20m reyes? Don't think Arsenal paid more than 13 for Reyes in the end coz they won fuck all with him in the side. Wiltord - 14 million is their record I think. Paid £10.5m for reyes because like you said the Add ons never kicked in. £13m Wiltord Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: fergus8 on June 29, 2007, 08:36:12 PM wiltord was class, just a shame for him bergkamp and henry were there too
Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: Bazzaboy on June 29, 2007, 08:45:39 PM Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: ontilt on June 29, 2007, 08:50:29 PM Hermann Hreidarsson 750k Good value.
Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: Pelham Boy on June 29, 2007, 08:53:06 PM Ade Akinbyi £5 million!! -EV! wasnt that 7 mill? he got 2 goals all season and they got relegated. No,it was ONLY 5 million. Im sure he got more than 2 goals as well. Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: BigTomatoes on June 29, 2007, 09:01:56 PM Celtic got Larsson for 600,000 , i think our biggest transfer was John Hartson and Neil Lennon 6mil a piece. correct me if im wrong. Chris Sutton 6 mil too i think. Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: The Baron on June 29, 2007, 09:05:09 PM I'm editing my first post accordingly for prem league and old firm clubs.
Not sure about a lot of clubs. Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: Nem on June 29, 2007, 09:09:24 PM i think Blackburns was Ferguson or Davies
Sunderland was Flo villa's was angel Middlesborough's was Maccarone west ham was Ashton (although this will change when they pay us £12million for Defoe) Angel ws 9 young was 9.65 flo was 6.5 maccarone was 8.1 (?) ashton was 7.5 Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: The Baron on June 29, 2007, 09:11:34 PM Any idea on amounts?
Forgot about Angel! LOL!! Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: The Baron on June 29, 2007, 09:14:57 PM i think Blackburns was Ferguson or Davies What about Shearer? No idea what he went to B'Burn for. Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: Nem on June 29, 2007, 09:17:18 PM i think Blackburns was Ferguson or Davies What about Shearer? No idea what he went to B'Burn for. 3.75 sutton was 5 Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: Bazzaboy on June 29, 2007, 09:23:52 PM Wigan - Heskey £5.5m
Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: sharpy on June 29, 2007, 09:37:51 PM Portsmouth-Sulley Muntari from Udinese for £7million Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: Rooky9 on June 30, 2007, 03:27:17 PM I dont think Owen was £18m. The most common figure I've seen is £17m. Certainly if there were any appearence related monies in there they wont have been paid!!
Our transfers over £5m are scary: (bold ones possibily laughable) Owen £17m Shearer £15m Martins £10m Luque £9.5m Robert £9.5m Boumsong £8m Viana £8.5m Woodgate £8m Ferguson £8m Asprillia £7.5m (nutter but gifted) Carl Cort £7m Parker £6.5m Sir Leslie £6m Dyer £6m Bellamy £6m Marcelino £5.8 Jenas £5m Millner £5m Duff £5m Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: The Baron on July 01, 2007, 01:28:17 PM Liverpool's are pretty embarrasing:
Cisse 14 Heskey 11 Alonso 10.5 Diouf 10 Kuyt 9 Collymore 8.5 Hamann 8 Crouch 7 Pennant 6.7 Luis Garcia 6 Cheyrou 6 Bellamy 6 Sissoko 5.6 Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: kinboshi on July 02, 2007, 09:16:15 AM I think Reina was £6.3M as well. But he was a good buy.
Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: Sheriff Fatman on July 02, 2007, 01:15:11 PM £1.5m, twice, for Georgi Hristov and Mike Sheron.
Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: The Baron on July 02, 2007, 02:41:06 PM I think Reina was £6.3M as well. But he was a good buy. Good shout - was Dudek or Kirkland more than 5? Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: kinboshi on July 02, 2007, 02:44:25 PM I think Reina was £6.3M as well. But he was a good buy. Good shout - was Dudek or Kirkland more than 5? Dudek was just under £5M, and Kirkland was reportedly a little over £6M. Shame he kept on breaking. Title: Re: Transfer record signing Post by: The Baron on July 02, 2007, 02:46:57 PM I think Reina was £6.3M as well. But he was a good buy. Good shout - was Dudek or Kirkland more than 5? Dudek was just under £5M, and Kirkland was reportedly a little over £6M. Shame he kept on breaking. Yup I still rate him.

I dont really see how it's a bad signing. If we sold him for 2 million it'd be a bad signing. |
