Surely Cantona at 1.1m Leeds to Man Utd is the biggest bargin

who else

Solskjaer to United 1.5m, hell of a buy

cantona is top

I also give you

PETER SCHMEICHEL (Brondby to Manchester United, £550,000, 1991)

ALAN SHEARER (Southampton to Blackburn Rovers, £3.6 million, 1992)

Shearer scored 112 Premiership goals for Blackburn in just 138 appearances and the Ewood Park coffers swelled by £15 million – a profit of more than £11 million – when he was sold to Newcastle United in 1996. Oh, and he helped to win Rovers the title.

Anelka to Arsenal for £500k?  50 league appearances with 23 goals.  Then a nice sale to Real Madrid for £23m.

Cudicini to Chelsea.

Cantona and Shearer both proved to be bargains

Liverpool paid £20,000,000 for Torres ,its only been a year,how much would another team have to pay liverpool to get him now,

I'm not sure £20m will ever be classed as a bargain.

How much did Blackburn pay for Friedel  the years he has had there and then getting 2.5m for him at his age must put him in with a shout.

yes i know what you mean, i will have to check but i dont think Shearer was cheap at the time,but proved to be a undervalued, same with Torres i think

Shearer was a record at the time and I remember people saying it was alot of money for any player. A bargin should only be classed as a bargin when its cheap compared to alot of other fees paid around the same time.

bargain

A couple of cheap ones:

Kevin Phillips £500,000 Sunderland
Brad Friedel Liverpool to Blackburn Rovers) FREE!

phillips surely signed for sunderland in div 1

Well he won the Premiership Golden Boot and European Golden Boot :) he signed for Sunderland just after they were relegated. 

We can argue over the semantics of if its classed as a prem transfer another day :)
 

Sol Cuntbell to Arsenal (free) :'(

Robert Pires to Arsenal £5mill (most gifted Arse player ever)

Dean Richards £8.4mill (soto-spurs)

Rebrov £11million (Kiev-Spurs)

:'(

Pires is a fantastic player and was a great buy, ive always thought Dennis Bergkamp was one of the best players of all time myself,if i could pick one player i wish liverpool could of had, he would be the one.

I think that Pires is Arsenal's greatest player.

Im sure champagne charlie will claim he was Arsenals greatest

OBV Henry will always take the plaudits, but technically, he wasn't as good as Pires.

My top 3 so far

Cantona

Schmeichel

Friedel

i have to concur that Shearer isnt a bargin. Even though long term he was great value for money he was a british record at the time.

Henri was great value at 11m but not a bargin

hyppia to liverpool
toure to arsenal
zola to chelsea

theres loads more cant think propery yet

Patrick Viera 3.5 million from ac Milan

Nicholas Anelka, bought by Arsenal for £500,000 sold to Real Madrid for £22.3m and Patrick Vieira £3.5m

i think i remember fergy saying he was his best signing ever and at £625,000 absolute bargain! one of the few united players i ever respected...

Dennis Irwin

Marc Overmars...

Irwin a good call but a couple of years early to be a prem signing


Henning Berg

surely he counts

how abt petit for £3m?

pires and henry were class.......

bit old and not just premiership but some decent suggestions

ooh david james to pompey

Must control my rage at people saying C****ona

its undeniably true though. Like it or not. Could be worse, sheff wed fan for example!

Hyppia ftw

I prefer not having him rather than having him and selling him to our biggest rivals for what some people call "the biggest bargain in Premiership history"

I agree he did good :( but he never really excelled in Europe for Utd.

Hyypia 3.2 mil from Willem II

Probably our best signing in the last 10-15 years.

I know one or two United fans who are die hards who think Utd would never have won in Europe with Cantona. There was players as good as him and some even better technically, he wasn't always half a yard ahead like he was here in the foreigner deprived EPL of back then. He also didn't do much tracking back!

This cant count actually as we didn't even mean it! He was bought as cover!

Gary McAllister for whatever he came to us for. Basically won us the cup Treble in 2001. I think the fee was nominal.

El Haji Diouf and Salif Diao or w/e

Robbie Keane, £20million rotflmfao

Schmeichel for me. Every bit, if not more, as influencial as Cantona in establishing Man U as the top dogs in the league - and he only cost half as much!

Joey Barton .. Newcastle to Strangeways athletic  FREE !!

Loans don't count. The move may be made permanent in the future though.

rotflmfao rotflmfao

Bent , rebrov, And i hear you's are gonna pay a huge fee for this 27 y.o arshavin, funny how a 27 y.o had never been heard of before the euro's , looks like El hadji diouf all over again to me

Didn't watch the UEFA cup last year then?

Tbh no i did not , I wouldn't really see it as a standard bearer for a good player though, When liverpool were struggling to qualify out of their group last season , i genuinely would have rathered they finished bottom of the group than have to face the indignity of playing in the UEFA cup . I mean cmon what sort of cup does not know the fav until the CL rejects enter it , and the league system they have now is a farce also. I'm sure arshavin is decent, but when he has been tracked by Barca, Madrid, chelski, and arsenal apparently , it seems somewhat bizarre if he ends up at spurs dont u think ?

Lol ok wasn't really going to get into arguement about the standard of the UEFA cup, but Arshavin was very much the star for Zenit St Petersberg in the final and rounds leading up to it. So ppl were aware of his talent pre Euros.

I would rather spend £16million on Darren Bent then £20million on Robbie Keane, or even £10million on Robbie Keane.

lol @ Arshavin in the Euro's... One fantastic performance against Holland, suspended for the first 2 games, average against Sweden and nowhere to be seen against Spain...

Decent player but the Euro reaction to him was OTT to laughable proportions...

Larving the new avatar Nem, reminds me a little of this

I'd rather spend £30 million on Keane than £10 million on Bent!

Bent>Keane

 rotflmfao

Darren Bent hears that Liverpoo have spent £20.3million on Robbie Keane

























(http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/uploads/assets/240x359/players/darren_bent/darren_bent.jpg)

Smiling as he now has a chance in hell of first team football.

If Keane and Bent play the same amount of games Bent will score alot more then Keane. I have seen both play a fair amount live and don't believe Keane is a natural goalscorer like Bent. Want a token 5 quid bet? on goals per games for the season as long as they both player over 20 games?

Bergkamp should surelly get a shout....scored some awesome goals  ;tightend;

and totally loyal too such a rarity these days.
shame about the flying though

How did he get to World Cup's? USA 94, Japan & S.Korea? Should have just done what they used to do to Mr T.

Rooky do you know why he has fear of flying??

He once scored an amazing  hat-trick away at Southampton in a 3-3 draw.

The goals he scored that day were voted 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in BBC Match of The Day's "Goal Of The Month".

As to his his fear of flying, I believe it was to do with a bad flight either to or back from his first World Cup, after that he became known as "The non-flying Dutchman".

ya he got a scare on the way back from the 94 world cup and it reminded him of when the dutch suriname players were killed in plane crash

I had heard it was somethign of a bad experience in the past - but it can't of been after 2002 when he must have managed to fly.

I'd sooner be on a plane than anyother form of moving.

holland didnt qualify for 2002 world cup

and he retired internationally after euro 2000 so he wudnt have gone anyway

LOL, well done me! I don't think I saw any of WC 2002!

I suspect Villa have just got themselves a bargain bagging Carlos Cuellar for £8m, wouldn't be at all surprised to see him move on within two years for more than double that. He aint the most handsome but this guy is a real top quality centre back.

[ ] Transfer worthy of a mention in this thread

Point taken.

david  batty  .definatetly the biggest barge in since pl began.

Vidic came to the prem unheard of for £6-7mil, since then he been fantastic for them.  If they sold him tommorrow they'd get £15-20mil, even then he wouldnt be described as a bargain...  Great signing, but no bargain...

Gianfranco Zola must be worth a shout, I think he coast around £4M, fantastic player imho.

Frank Lampard's 5 year £100k per week contract at age 30.

[ ] Deserves a mention on this thread

It is abs disgusting, a total average player who has let us down in World Cups and Euros...and also looks very ordinary in most Chelsea games, top flight football is very sick now with total averagness like Carrick earning megabucks for astroturf form, I cant watch it anymore and I know a lot who feel the same, Gazza, Shearer et all were a different class!

is it not £150k?

Ugh ugh ugh!!! yup you couldnt make it up!?!? so many of these "top" players wouldnt stand out in a weekly leisure centre game (only their fitness rules) ...seems like once they get in a top flight position their name just sticks and they get ridic offers whatever the form.

Lol

Love this...
