100k and no idea what impact he had ? Without him we'd quite possibly be a Sunderland.

 

I know what impact he had on us as a manager, but no idea as a player.

Doubt he would have been manager without being a player here.

 

As a player he brought a spotlight which we should have kicked on from, it was squandered.

Scanning NUFC.com's transfer section for all managers since Keegan. Probably pick Bernard & N'Zogbia as the pick of the bunch for his pound-for-pound signings. (It says we got Bernard for free but I thought we had to pay compensation)

Perez always gets missed off in these, £1.5m iirc. Scored a bunch, and sold for £30m.

Think it's because he wasn't as good as some of the other options and £30m under Ashley meant nothing to us.

 

Rob Lee and Schär are clear of everyone really, with probably Burn and Trippier in the tier below them.

Certainly not a top fiver but I always like to chuck Matt Ritchie's name into these conversations. Absolutely crucial to promotion and consolidation under Rafa, and was still chipping in with the odd useful performance in 18/19. Pound-for-pound an absolutely brilliant signing, definitely one of the best value-for-money ones this century, prior to us making a habit of it.

Ritchie was quite expensive relative to the time and the fact we were in the Championship tbh. A good signing for what we needed and ended up being a great character to have around, but not what I'd describe as a value signing personally.

Tonali was the second best player on the pitch tonight. Outrageously good performance from this bloke. Defender, playmaker, winger, presser, headerer, tackler. One of the best individual performances of the season from anyone in the squad.
