Will Hoskins - most expensive signing ever?

[Giraffe]

Is he the most expensive signing ever or just since Andy Richie back in the 80's?

Since Andy Richie.

With add-ons it might be. I fully expect us to break it a couple of times more this summer as well.

So who has been more expensive than Ritchie then?

Nobody? Edit: Now possibly Hoskins with add-ons.

Will Hoskins

How much did we pay for Michael Robinson and Gordon Smith?

 

[JBizzle]

I think its equal to Richie but with more added on for appearances and goals.

I for one am really excited about his signing.

Pretty sure we signed Richie for £500,000 which was our club record. Not broken until possibly Hoskins which is at least this I think?

If he tears the Championship apart this will still be money well spent.

£400,000 for Smith the same for Robinson I think.

Yep £500,000 for Ritchie.

£400000 each.

I expect the club record to be a 7 digit number by August.

We signed Ritchie in the era of £1 million+ transfers

In today's market, we would have to sign a player for £5 million+ for it to be comparable...

If it an undisclosed amount, how come people know what the amount is?

It was on Twitter, so must be gospel

Brighton have landed Bristol Rovers' leading scorer Will Hoskins at the second attempt in a move which could eventually net the Pirates close to 1million.

Half a mil! So far.

 

[Superphil]

So, paper talk then, oh well, don't really care.

Looking at measuringworth.com the Ritchie £500,000 would be worth £1,600,000 today.

It's Hoskins because Ritchie was a straight £500k,
but Hoskins £500k plus add-ons.

But in real terms using rpi, Ritchie's £500k in October 1980 is the equivalent x 3.36 of £1.68m in today money.
