[Albion] Our last two years incomings

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I got it off Transfer market, so don't start, but

Joao Pedro €34
Baleba €27
Verbruggen €20
Estupinan €18
Igor €16
Enciso €11.5
Gilmour €8
Adingra €8
Buonanotte €6
Ayari €4

Not too bad

Dahoud in on a free as well

 

[The Grockle]

The year before didn't turn out so great

Mwepu €23
Cucurella €18
Kozlowsi €11
Sima €8
Undav €6
Scherpen €5
Mitoma €3

But still some very good deals

And the year before that wasn't bad

Caicedo €28
Moder €11
Zequiri €4
Karbownik €4
Van Hecke €2
Veltman €1

That is some f***ing OUTRAGEOUS business over 4 years and we seem to be getting better at this transfer malarkey

£3 million for Van Hecke and Veltman is almost criminal.

Van Hecke must be worth 30 plus million alone

 

[Seagull58]

Might include the sell on paid to Independiente del Valle?

That would explain the number.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Dahoud in on a free as well

In the last four years, we haven't paid a penny in transfer fees for

Dahoud
Milner
Lallana
Ferguson
Welbeck
Fati
Hinshelwood
Colwill

 

[GT49er]

I got it off Transfer market, so don't start........................................

That in itself is more than enough!

 

[Bry Nylon]

Are we shopping at Lidl?

It seems that way.

Suspicions were raised when as well as those players we also got a pair of heavy-duty padded work trousers and some solar-powered patio lights.

Colwill and Fati would have had fees involved for the loans.

 

[Justice]

Anyone else think Sidwell was hinting he knew something about a possible new signing last night?

 

[nickjhs]

Colwill and Fati would have had fees involved for the loans.

From what I have read I don't think there are fees for Fati, we are paying 80% of his salary which is something like 12m although I have seen it as "low" as 9m. Regarding bargains, I think Mitoma at 3m is just brilliant

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

How much prize money have we made so far from the Europa league. Could be reinvested in another gem

£1.1m for winning the group. Could be invested in a couple of u18s perhaps.

We’ve won about €8.6 million in prize money so far. The win over Marseille was worth almost €3m on its own.

Oh Mitoma is a steal.

 

[huzzah]

Oh Mitoma is a steal.

I was having this conversation with random strangers before the Ajax game:
which of these 3 is the best value:
Gross 3M
Mitoma 2.7M
Veltman 0.9M

(the question is not who is our most legendary premier player, or who is the most exciting and coveted winger in the premier league, or who is the master of the dark arts and won the most epic of battles with the SEGW ... but at those low low prices, who represents the greatest bargain)

it feels obvious, at least more so than after the alcohol levels we were at when we were having this conversation ... but not at the same time.

something to bare in mind is the feelings you get when you see how much an item is marked down or when you have a successful haggle. I read somewhere that Ajax valued Veltman in the mid 20M's, but because of some loyalty clause in his contract we got him for 0.9M.

On that criteria it has to be Veltman. Signing a player who had just played in the Champions League semi finals, had won 3 League titles, a Europa League runners up medal and was part of the Dutch squad that finished 3rd at the 2014 World Cup for less than a million is pretty much unheard of.

Gross had great stats, especially that last season at Ingolstadt but had spent most of his career in the German second tier. Mitoma was a signing based on potential and because of his decision to complete his university degree before taking up his football career was still very inexperienced. So neither come close to matching the bargain that was Joel Veltman, and that isn’t taking away from what both Gross and Mitoma have gone on to achieve here.

Pascal, easily in my mind.

I think in terms of what they have done at the club it has to be Gross.
If you ask the question at the time that joined it would be Veltman.

Difficult to decide really - but the fact a single club did all three deals is the most remarkable bit…….

I thought that, but probably wishful thinking.

If you consider their contribution to the club it is, and will always be, Pascal. I cannot believe that we will ever sign a player for such a fee who will contribute as much as he has.

Is Veltman the only successful signing we have ever made from the Eredivisie?
