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

Hopefully, £23M (give or take) next week for Fernando Torres.  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? |

Wenger's signings have always been so very, very astute. There is always the exception, and what an exception. |

According to Wikipedia (which isn't always right obviously): 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. |
