Ghost of Clough Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 1 hour ago, Ambitious said: Preston wanted £10m for Emil Riis Jakobsen in the summer, he's been decent for them since coming back to England. I guess his exit went a little under the radar, but he's arguably our most valuable academy product at present. Man City rejected a £16m bid from Southampton for Delap in the summer. No bids for Gordon, but I'd expect it would take a lot more than £16m for Liverpool to sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I think both of those are going to be £20m plus at least for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 7 hours ago, Igorwasking said: Paul Williams and the young goalkeeper (blonde hair) whose name escapes me right now, similar era. Neither went on to have glittering careers - but I was certain both would - and gutted when they left. We didn't let Williams go. In Smiths words' he was banging down the door demanding a move before i'd warmed the seat.' He was reminded of that when he came back with Southampton. Believe I've only seen the same vitriol level for Kitson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Brett Angell was on Derbys books. He did OK for a few years. Alan Cork as well ?. Lee Holmes probably went too early. Tony Hateley and his son Mark. Both from Derby. Never got taken on. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise his career began with us, which would be forgivable if I hadn't read his autobiography 'Who ate all the Pies' many moons ago!

Could have done with him on penalties last night though, and he took a mean free-kick now and again too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilsonram12 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Saunders and Wright sold for a pittance to liverpool, yes we were relegated but...

The issue was the money went to Maxwell. Christie revealed in his book Boro bid 7 million for him alone. We wanted 9. 6 months later we got 3 for him AND Riggott. Sturridge was similar, could have got around 6-7 million, a few years later we got about 300k. Will Hughes, could have sold for about double what we got. We are terrible at getting decent fees, we hold on for too long. Ilsonram12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was off to Arsenal for between £8-12m but then he did his hamstring and never got his acceleration back. You could argue we managed to turn average players into good fees too, we somehow coddled Leeds into £7m for Sethlad and West Ham coughed up £5m+ for Christian Dailly who was the most average player to ever be average. uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sold him to Blackburn , he went from being an average midfielder to a very decent centre back. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a very decent centre back for us and a pretty decent midfielder. The fee was good at the time. About 5.5 if I remember. Shame we spent it on a load of crap like Spencer Prior.

I know we got a fair bit more for Riggott than was agreed initially and there was a reason footballs bastion of virtue had to cough it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimmerman Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 On 01/11/2022 at 12:43, jameso said: That was an odd one because he'd been linked with moves to clubs above us (West Ham?) and I think had done OK on loan at Coventry. If I've got the timings right, he was being touted as maybe ready for the first team squad just as Lampard was assembling his team, and the Cov move was pretty much the end of him for us. Still surprised we let him go after the Lampard season because surely we knew we were heading for some belt-tightening but instead we splurged on Bielik (have we even finished paying for him?) but let Thomas go - and brought in the likes of Dowell and Paterson on loan. So it's Thomas who I have to blame for moving then... Got it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
