Stripperg-ram Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 ....that was worth it? Been thinking about Tom Lawrence. And I don’t want to create a pile on. I thought against Forest he had one of the best games in a Derby shirt. But it wasn’t amazing. it was just what you’d expect from a £7m player. How many times has he played that well? Bieilk also. He’s not really had chance to shine, injuries and red cards have seen to that. But wasn’t he reportedly £10m? Now he may go on to be well worth it, but a Champ player at that price should surely be one of the next in the league by now? Has he shown that he was worth the money? (I don’t know btw, I’m not having a go at him - I just haven’t seen it from him yet) who have we bought, say in the last 10 - 20 years, who wasn’t a bargain or an academy success or a cheap/freebie that has proven to have exceeded in value the millions we paid for them?

sage Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The net most expensive was Bradley Johnson as we received good fees for Ince and Vydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66DegreesNorth Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 3.5m a piece for Claude the fraud and the welsh smurf Earnshaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread isn't who is best value for money it is "who is the most expensive player that was worth it?" I don't think a player who is apparently our 73rd most expensive signing of all time is anywhere near the running for that accolade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Lawrence wasn't £7m I'm pretty sure... But yes, Vydra and Ince. Johnson was also very good for us, probably not £6m good but I think he has been severely underrated by our fanbase for his contributions with us. Fingers crossed we can add Bielik to this list.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Giorgi Kinkladze isnt a bad shout. He was bought for 3 to 4 million, which at the time was one of our most expensive signings. He was a cracking player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Tom Ince has been the best value for money. Not cheap at 4.75m, but the best winger we’ve had in my lifetime. Loads of goals, fair few assists, worked hard and contributed significantly in some good teams. Sold for almost treble his initial fee. One of the few good bits of business we’ve done in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Vydra and Ince are the obvious ones. You could argue Jason Shackell the second time (although I was always puzzled why we decided there was no one else and it had to be him) So many of our good signings are the VFM ones, Martin (free), Bryson (£400k) Ward (wasn't a lot), Russell (£750k) were all NIgel Clough getting it right. Dawkins (£300k? wasn't expensive) and so on. We pay less than a million quid for a player and usually they turn out OK for what we paid and somethimes are so much more. We start paying multimillions of pounds and a lot of the time they're nick blackman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmini Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 David Nish.. we paid a record £225,000 for him in 1972. An absolute bargain in today’s money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
