[Albion] Players We Were Forced to Sell Off Cheaply For Financial Reasons. Could We Field A Team Of Them?

[Cowfold Seagull]

I'll make a start with the goalkeeper, Mark Beeney, sold to Leeds for next to nothing in 1993 due to our severe financial plight at the time.

Many others players of course have suffered the same fate over the years. Let's have a few names, can we form a team?

Dean Saunders

Mike Small and John Byrne

Zamora, Nogan

 

[Commander]

Who was that guy we bought and sold in the same week in the last season at the Goldstone? Him.

Marc Cucurella - easily a £100m player.

Marc Cucurella - easily a £100m player.


What?

Doesn't fit the brief, hardly sold for financial reasons!

Yep sold to Oxford for 60 paltry thousand, and just the following year sold to Derby for a mahoosive one million pounds.

Boy how we missed out.

Adam Virgo

Sold to Celtic for £1,000,000 so erm, no.

Saunders is the standout for me. Beeney sold off cheaply?! Liked him but the fee was inflated surely due to Wilko. I always thought Nelson £55k to Charlton was way too cheap but then 87 was my first season and he had a wonder season.

John Robinson

 

[Lenny Rider]

60 poxy grand wasn't it

But 60,000 more than the club were prepared to accept, things were so bad they were prepared to let him walk out of the club and rip his contract up.

Didn’t we have to sell Danny Cullip to Sheffield United to plug the financial gaps?
