old_eastender Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 55 minutes ago, Gillies Downs Leeds said: It was 18k for Walsh. I remember it was a tribunal, they asked for 100k I believe. TC responded by saying that he only wanted to sign one player not the whole team Yep Walsh for £18k proved to be an absolute steal...don't think any of the others mentioned can compare.

Thinking about it we might have been ripped off and payed 25.000 for Galley. If I remember he scored a hat trick on his debut in a 3/0 away win, then scored at home in a 1/1 draw? Slarti?

Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 2 hours ago, Port Said Red said: Just saw a quote from LJ saying that Josh Brownhill must be one of the best Value players in City history. At the level we are at it’s a reasonable call, but at other periods in our history, we have had a few bargains. ignoring early periods of history, who would you put in that list? I immediately thought of the last side to get us to the top division, the whole group cost less than £100k to assemble. On an individual level, Adam Locke was a free transfer and I think Mickey Bell might have been as well? I think we paid about £50k for Scott Murray too? There are probably others to be added. Alan Walsh...£18000. Darlington well pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Niki Maenpaa is right up there. Just about the best goalie I've seen for us, but Bentley may be level or even above that now. But for a free, Niki was an incredible signing. Brownhill maybe the best for a free. When looking at more recent windows we have really made.some incredible signings. Dasilva 2m? Bentley 2m? Weimann 2m? Hunt 1.5m? These are cheap prices for very good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Not that it was a bargain, but didn't we pay 118k for Terry Connor and 132k for Rob Edwards. Purely to quote the random fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 1 hour ago, Bristol Rob said: How much was paid for Jimmy Mann? Free transfer. You beat me to him. I'd also add John Shaw, also free from Leeds. And what about Chris Garland coming back from Leicester? And after the 1982 fiasco, Forbes Phillipson-Masters, Glyn Riley, Alan Crawford, Steve Neville. In 1954, Tommy Burden. There are so many that have arrived at City and given us of their best, to mention. But as a final two, how about Big John and Jimmy Rogers, the last pairing to get over SIXTY GOALS in one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP3 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Or how about Best Value Trophy Winning Squad. - £60k cash outlay all in including subs. - Freight Rover vs Bolton must be up there. It did include some p/ex's, frees, and I assume Terry Cooper's large Photograph Collection to Blackmail Tribunal Members with. At almost a third of the cost of the squad, 18k on Walshy alone is starting to look a bit expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Dazzler Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Keith Curle cost around £10,000 from Torquay and was at that time a Gas reject who was a mediocre right winger. Terry Cooper converted him into a classy central defender who was brilliant for us, but went on to become the most expensive defender in English football when he signed for Man. City. Eventually played for England in the Swedish Euros of 1992, did not go that well, manly due to Graham Taylor sticking him at right back, which was not a role that suited him. Another that I don't think has been mentioned was Jonathan Kodjia, who had a great season for us and we certainly cashed in big time, a bit like Webster. Also Albert was a fantastic bit of business.
