Ronaldo Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hislop, Barton, Ferdinand and Ginola for around £10m. Crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Players today worth 4-5x that in transfer fees with not even 1/2 the skill and ability. We signed a 28-29 year old Les Ferdinand on the back of nearly 3 20+ goal seasons for 6M. Amazing that he then went on to put in 29 and 21 with us the following 2 seasons...but still only got back 6M for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but back in 1995, I can only think of Cole & Collymore who were English and had cost more at that time (maybe missed one or two), and Barton was some sort of record for a full-back. They were big signings back then and not cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Something to do with being fucked over with Weah and then Ginola being public enemy #1 in France for costing them world cup qualification (according to Houllier) Aye, we had some sort of written agreement that we'd sign Weah and they instead sold him to Milan for more cash. We threatened legal action and the result was a knock down deal for Daveed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hislop, Barton, Ferdinand and Ginola for around £10m. Crazy. Barton wasn't cheap at the time, like. Wasn't it a record transfer for a defender? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 None of them were cheap. 6m especially felt like a lot for Ferdinand considering Cole broke the English record when he went for 9m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hislop, Barton, Ferdinand and Ginola for around £10m. Crazy. Was more like £14m for the 4. None of them were cheap. 6m especially felt like a lot for Ferdinand considering Cole broke the English record when he went for 9m. Cole cost £6m plus Gillespie who was valued at £1m, so £7m. Statto, statto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Aye, but Keegan's said a few times he valued it at £8.5m because he thought Gillespie was worth £2.5m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 They weren't cheap, but we spent good money on highly rated players, not wasted on average plodders. We also had Lee, Peacock, Beresford, Gillespie, Ginola, Beardsley and Albert who were bargains. Certainly weren't just an expensively put together bunch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
