Who is your worst ever British £1m+ player

[steward 433]

Sorry but you two are both way wrong

Gareth Ainsworth £2.5million from Port Vale to Wimbledon played 36 games then crocked

Pure 110% total shit

 

[Scotty Mac]

surely virgo must be up there - not that im complaining!

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

surely virgo must be up there - not that im complaining!

for the £1.5 mil we got for him, who would?

 

[Simster]

Thinking back to our strikers in the play-off run of 2005, :

Chris Ilewumo & Adam Virgo have both since played for Colchester and both moved on for £1m+.

And hasn't Leon Knight done well too?

 

[Monkster]

Marlon King - £5M to Wigan has to be a contender since 2000

 

[saltash seagull]

read someone that big chris had gone for a million and somewhere else 400k so not sure if it was a million

 

[questier]

Richard Wright - Ipswich to Arsenal 6mil

they really ruined his career

 

[SamSeagull]

Surely Chris Ilewumo is now the worst ever player to cost in excess of a £1m signing-on fee from these shores?

he was £400,000 wernt he

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Dean Richards

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

surely virgo must be up there - not that im complaining!

Quite. The perfect victimless crime

newcastle stole 6m from spurs for a 34 yr old

He was 31, and quality ... so possibly not.


Sean Dundee.

Richard Wright - Ipswich to Arsenal 6mil

whatever happened to him ?

 

[Northstander]

Chris Sutton

Beat me to it

 

[empire]

harry kewell to liverpool

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

whatever happened to him ?

Just re-signed for Ipswich today. signed from West Ham but spend the end of last season on loan at Southampton.

Didnt he get injured when he was playing for Everton after falling out the loft and was out of the game for a few months cos of it?

 

[Icy Gull]

Steve Daley.

As I opened this thread I was trying to think of the player Man Cirty signed for silly money who did nothing and I'm pretty sure that's him

Yep that's him and seeing as this was 1979 - so he actually held the record and was shitter than shit. It must be equivalent to at least a 10 million pound transfer these days.

In September 1979, Daley was transferred to Manchester City for a fee of £1,437,500, a British record

I think that definitely closes this thread, the others mentioned are all bargains in comparison.

Sheffield United will complete the £2m signing of Watford striker Darius Henderson on Tuesday. (Daily Star)

 

[Trigger]

Adam Virgo

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Iwelumo is nowhere NEAR the top of that list...

Four goals in ten for us. (nearly one ever other game)
35 in 92 for Colchester. (Better than one every three games)
10 in 46 for Charlton. (Just under one in every four games)

Not even a GOALSCORING centre forward so not a bad record.

I would rather have him upfront for us than Virgo...
