Prices paid

[pork pie]

Just tried to find stats on Net. Spotted Blackpool had agreed a of £300k, so he must have been a bargain.

The fee to Blackpool was 1.1 mil but Blackpool would only pay half his current salary. Swansea agreed a lower fee (la lot more than the £300k papers reported) to allow Blackpool to offer more as salary but big Karl was still too tight and barely increased his offer.
There were 5 teams offering contracts on deadline day (including a premiership team).
Preston offer was not the most £'s.

So, to summarise, we've spent somewhere between nothing, and 1 billion dollars.

Have we got zahahaha too?

Orlandi was definitely free after his contract was cancelled. I suspect he got a decent wedge as a signing on fee in return for a probable pay cut.

Fascinated to hear £350K for Dobbie but it probably fits with Blackpool's expectation that they would get him - they are not known for spending too much.
Have to admit I would have expected him to be £1m+ depending on his contract situation

Dobbie had 1 year left with Swansea.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

Yes we have, because Rhodes being 8 million and unproven is a bargin?

Eight million

 

[albion534]

Eight million

It's brilliant isn't it, Blackburn are quickly showing how desperate they are by buying every striker in the championship at whatever price so other teams lack firepower

£350k for Dobbie? and Blackpool couldn't afford him?

Sounds odd to me.

Wage Cap

Wage Cap

.......cant be that low surely, having mugged Liverpool for Adam last year and parachute payments?

 

[Comedy Steve]

£350k for Dobbie? Bloody hell that's incredible value

I can only assume he was released due to Laudrup being tricked into handing Dobbie one of his used socks.
