Waiting for a train so thought I’d try and put together our most expense team based on what we signed players for in a 442. After a bit of research I’ve come up with this.

Gk westwood £500k
Rb edworthy £1.2m
Cb Breen £2.5m
Cb Konjic £2m
Lb Jarni £2.6m
RM Thompson £3m
Cm McAllister £3m
Cm Hadji £4m
LM Frogatt £1.9m
Cf Bellamy £6.5m
Cf Keane £6m

Will do transfers out if this train don’t turn up!

Interesting stuff...good work. I'm amazed though that we've not paid more than £300k for a keeper!

He was a brilliant keeper.

I'd have thought we would have paid more for Westwood. He was in the PFA team of the year and had a 2 years left on his contract.

34.2 million total? Crazy how inflated prices have become.

I thought about 4/5 million. It could be Hughes I'm thinking of though.

Interesting - assuming a team of the same quality - what would be that value today probably 5-8 times - Keane 30 plus

We had the chance to sign him in early December for 4m but said that was too much. Obviously we paid 5m a month or two later.

A bit of research and it seems it was a pay-as-you-play deal. Wish we'd had him in much earlier that year.

Yes it says undisclosed fee, but we offered 4 million plus Cedric Rousell which was agreed with Wimbledon but then Rousell refused there personal terms, I wouldn’t have thought it would have been a free.

If we would have had him for even 5 games more I think we would have escaped.

Should have got him at Christmas - would definitely stayed up....
History could have been so different - arena 2000 would be ours, never heard of sisu and we could be grumbling about playing Huddersfield in the premier!

According to TransferMarkt we paid £540k for John Filan, making him the most expensive keeper.

EDit: maybe not. Local papers say it was £300k

We paid nowhere near that due to him failing a medical. It was an appearance based fee. No more than 2m
