Where'd you get your team from? Pound shop

Leon Knight was signed on a free, with a 50% sell on clause i believe?

It's good that most of Micky Adams' players, mainly picked up for free, have lasted so long.

Although saying that, were are the likes of Ryan Palmer, Darren Freeman and Jamie Campbell now?

Not forgetting Darren 'fast' Carr and Silky Dave Cameron of course

Plymouth have just signed Scott Taylor from Blackpool for £100000 so we now have the cheapest squad.

Well spotted!

He didn't show up in the search I conducted because he hasn't made an appearance for them yet and hasn't been allocated a squad number either. I've amended the original post now to reflect the fact that Brighton do indeed have the cheapest team in the Championship.

£100,000 according to the PFA Factfile and Soccerbase.

And just how big is Cardiff's debt these days ? What are you going to do when Ayotollah Hamman realises that you don't have a chance of being a Premier League club ?

Cardiff City, the new MK Dons ?

Leon was signed on a free but with the proviso that we paid £100K if we got promoted. So that is where some of the playoff money went.

In the words of the Insider, Leon Knight was signed for free, with a nominal payment if we got promoted. This payment was not £100,000. There was also an undisclosed sell on clause.

Why don't we have a chance of being a Premiership club? And why are we likely to become the next MK Dons?

Enlighten me, oh wise one......

How come the fee is listed as £100,000 in all officially FA-endorsed publications if it was 'nominal'?

 

[Taylors Dummy]

Blimey, Plymouth are cheaper than us.

PLYMOUTH ARGYLE - £155,000
BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION - £131,000

Did you attend any maths classes?

I have no idea, but as the Insider is the club's press officer he should know what he is talking about.

TD Did you read all the posts?

I amended the original figures as they didn't include the £100,000 Plymouth have paid this week for Scott Taylor.

It is alleged

I copied my figures from the Wolves programme with info I presume was provided by our club?

Maybe, but it seems strange that the official publications would list a fee if there wasn't one. The PFA Factfile says that QPR made an immediate bid for him after he'd scored twice for Albion against them, but Brighton tied him up on a premanent deal shortly afterwards.

It would be a bit odd for Chelsea to turn down a concrete cash bid from QPR but allow Brighton to sign Knight on a free if they didn't get promoted.

Not when your dealing with someone as ruthless as our Chairman.

What does a nominal fee?

The Insider says it was a nominal fee but not £100,000, implying that we did pay something but it wasn't as much as £100,000.

The QPR bid might not have included a sell on fee and, in any case, Chelsea are hardly going to miss £100k.

 

[fatboy]

Plus Knight wanted to sign for us and only spoke to QPR out of courtesy.

I did a quick Google search earlier and found an article that said both clubs had agreed a fee for Knight with Chelsea but he was likely to opt for Albion because he wanted to stay loyal to Steve Coppell (chortle chortle).

I can't believe that all of the information that has been printed about a £100,000 fee since Knight joined Albion has been incorrect. But stranger things have happened.
