94/95 as there's no Shearer.

 

Les and Gillespie signed summer 95. Shearer in summer 96.

 

Great photo though, an immensely likeable bunch.

 

thought gillespie came in the swap with cole during the season, not in the summer...ginola and ferdinand signed the following summer no?

It's canny crazy how many people think that Shearer was part of the team that nearly won the league. Newcastle fans included.

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.

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.

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.

None of them were cheap. 6m especially felt like a lot for Ferdinand considering Cole broke the English record when he went for 9m.

Hislop, Barton, Ferdinand and Ginola for around £10m. Crazy.

 

Was more like £14m for the 4.

Cole cost £6m plus Gillespie who was valued at £1m, so £7m.

 

Statto, statto.
