[Albion] Cheapo Brighton Squad

[Swansman]

How much was darbownik? Instead of burn..

I dunno but his name is Karbownik

 

[Sheebo]

The Biss £15mil thing I’ve noticed recently - I was sure it was about £10-£12m at the time...!?

 

[albionalex]

I can. We’ve had 40 players come to the club in the Premier League years. Locadia and Jahanbaksh are the only major clangers. I make that 5%.

But take up a larger % of fees paid.

But take up a larger % of fees paid.

Well, in the words of Jim Bowen, that’s the gamble. Bissouma, Trossard, Maupay and Webster all similar fees or more and all huge successes.

It was always £15m. I would imagine that it was the £10-12m initially, with an extra £3m with add-ons etc. Worth every penny!

Yeh could be that or could be my memory! Either way, he’s worth treble that given his age and the silly prices these days...

£19000 per inch

Wow, bet his girlfriend is happy then

 

[Machiavelli]

Are people really trying to airbrush out of history the £30m we wasted on Locadia and Jahanbaksh?
Difficult to brush over that and then laugh at £20m for Brewster in the next breath.

Propper was £15m. Great signing IMHO, solid player for 3 seasons.
Trossard £18m. Decent
Webster £20m. Decent

I think our recruitment team does a great job and they've unearthed some absolute gems. We've spent a decent amount of money in doing so, seen a couple of threads trying to rewrite this fact and it bugs me.

Webster: decent. You do understatement well.
Trossard: decent. He's a mercurial player, but tonight he was outstanding.

Maybe, but Sheffield keep playing Brewster because they need him to be good. Likewise Palace with Benteke. We don't need those two and have moved on.

Some of those players aren’t free though. Lallana and Welbeck surely had hefty signing on fees and wages.

But I agree with your point generally. The recruitment have done fabulous business by and large, the only gap being, in my humble opinion, being the striker department. I think that is a valid critique.

 

[Skaville]

That’s the same with every single transfer. The distinction is the fee paid to the parent club, which is always the way transfers are measured and in both cases, was zero.

Propper was 10 not 15 million.

 

[Taybha]

Veltman 900k , ridiculous, I would suggest he gets another agent when clubs come sniffing around in the Summer .

Excellent signing and there's no way Lamptey should just walk back in to the team when fit , what a blinding headache for Potter to have

Same as I charge per night as a gigolo.

 

[scamander]

Burnley and Sheffield United must be much, much cheaper than ours.

Using Transfermarkt our first XI which beat Palace cost around 35 million. The caveat to that is how much Mee cost. Along with Trippier we got him from City as s youngster so unsure how mich he cost. It wouldn't have been much but I reckon much of it was in future bonuses etc.

The only swaps for a full strength starting XI would have been Taylor starting (free) and Wood (6 million).

As other posters have mentioned, not all signings work out (e.g. Gibson).

Thought you played really well, reckon you'll have Palace on toast next week. I certainly hope so!
