Cajun Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 £8m for someone who looked very good in the Championship is ridiculous, mind. We paid £6million for Dyer, back in 1998. We also paid less than both for Ben Arfa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 £8m for someone who looked very good in the Championship is ridiculous, mind. We paid £6million for Dyer, back in 1998. Under Ashley, we've been conditioned to believe we cannot ever spend more than 8 million on any one player, let alone a youngish one with some potential to fulfill. Got to remember back then 6 million would probably buy you twice as much as in today's football players' market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a huge fee for an unproven lad (at that time) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Dyer was in the England squad at Ipswich though. Would be more comparative to JJ and we paid £5m for him. Can't remember many bitching about that at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember many bitching about that at the time. Dyer only got an England cap after he signed for us. Ince I think got called up to recent squad (but didn't play).

Ketsbaia Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 £8m is more than Redmond but less than Zaha. More than Cabaye but less than Luque - we could play this game all night. I don't think £8m is that bad tbh, there's been worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
