Chris Wood (now playing for Nottingham Forest)

Luque, for one. Have to take into consideration the injury, but 9.5m for him back then turned out to be outrageous.

Michael Owen was nearly a total bust, given how much we paid for him at the time.

Xisco...given how much fees have ballooned, we probably would have spiunked nearly the same on this waste of space.

Marcelino was dog shit for us.

Riviere. I barely remember the dude.

Guivarch was legendarily bad. Amazing that he was a world cup winner.

£15m would be utter robbery. :lol:

 

Best of luck to him. Good egg that'll always put in a shift but I can't imagine he expected to be around for more than a year or two and unfortunately the lack of shooting boots means it's the year rather than two.

 

Hopefully he regains some form for Forest for a short while, especially if that helps whatever clauses net us £15m off him.

1 minute ago, The Butcher said:

Boumsong and Luque didn't Even cost 10m, did they? 

 

 

Irrelevant, they were years ago. Obviously if you're going to stipulate cost being absolutely equivalent, it's not as clear cut but they were all useless, cost a bomb in wages and fees and there are loads more too.

How many goals did Riviere have for us? Was it one? In five years? Or did he get two?

 

Had to look it up, he was with us for three years, played 31 games and scored 3 goals and 1 assist.

 

Bought for 6.3m  Euro and sold for 1.1, so that's only about 1.2 million euros per goal or assist, not counting wages.

 

Fucking bargain actually.

I reckon if he’d put that chance away at Sheffield Wednesday then he would be digging in his heels to stay, and Eddie would probably want to keep him around. The nature of the miss though, and his reaction to it, basically confirmed to everyone that his time here was up.

Not to mention that Rangers got Boumsong on a free, and made a tidy profit just 6 months later - bloody outrageous. The transfer was investigated over corruption, wasn't it? Can't remember what the final result was, but even if nothing was proven, clearly some fishy goings on.

Essentially paying £10m to get a 1 in 3 striker,  who helped us stay up and deprived a relegation rival of the player they centred everything around has proven to not only be a masterstroke, but in the end the one thing it never was, an absolute bargain.

Reading between the lines, it is clear that Lee Charnley having found the Forest fax machine, now knows somewhere that he can fax transfer offers to.

 

expect a £12m bid for Jeff Hendrick by end of week.
