Ramalama Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Best value for money in the Jim Smith side? It's a close call between Biaano, Eranio and Wanchope. We knew we were getting a world class player when we signed Eranio but what a surprise Wanchope was. The clowns on MOTD said he didn't know what he was doing but his running off the ball was superb, he must have been a nightmare to mark. Come to think of it I can't remember Stimac and Ace costing that much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilko Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Mo Camara. With that lad in the side, we went on a long unbeaten run and beat Man Utd in the FA Cup. Seeing Mo-Mo execute a perfect sliding tackle on Ronaldo summed up that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Teale Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 In my time its eraino but jim smith pulled some great bargains, asanavic, poom, whanchop and I quite like the rowett call as everton gave us 2million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezzyram Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Eranio for me too, great player and top bloke. The standing ovation he got from all round the ground at the end of his last match was something special, one of my favorite Pride Park memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOrdinary Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 hows about ian taylor, i dont remember a fee for him, and i rated him when he was here (id check the facts but i cant be bothered) but id say eranio, one of the reasons i fell in love with football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadTheLine Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 What about the only player to play in every game of both league title seasons? Colin Boulton. I win:) Close but maybe not close enough. Don't forget Ron Webster who was the only local player in the championship teams. OK, he didn't play in every championship game but he did play around 530 games for The Rams, compared to Boulton's 340-odd. Webster joined DCFC straight from school, as free as you can get, apart from his meagre wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Ram Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 1. Boulton 2. Eranio 3. Commons Difficult to place the top 2, Eranio was a class act, Boulton an ever present in the side (as stated by others). Commons comes in 3rd for me but still an excellent bargain costing less than Ben Pringles transfer fee;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoratioSC Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Francesco Baiano - £650, 000 ! How much would a player of this calibre cost us now? Baiano deal was £1.3m - that might include agent fees but it's what he cost (his agent told me). For the players I've seen, Eranio wins hands down. Ace, Stimac, etc - all great but not free transfers. An interesting/controversial thread could be "greatest player of the last 20 years" - Hudds would could be in with a shout as he's gone from us to captaining a top 4 side - no Rams player has done that for a looooong time.

There was a fee involved with Loose Lizzy as well from what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I see Wanchope is still being mentioned, was he a freebie? I canna remember but I'm sure we paid summart for him and Wiki has him down at 600k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackNwhites Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Didn't we sign Wanchope from LA Lakers or something? I know he played basketball. Earlier in the thread someone posted about his magnificent movement off the ball, he learned that from basketball and his magnificent leaps into the air, chesting the ball down above any defenders heads then looping a shot towards goal was quite magnificent to watch. I'm going on a bit, he wasn't free but an image of Wanchope sticks in my mind. We were playing Manure, already 2 - 0 up when wanchope receives the ball just outside the 18 yard box to the left of goal. He jinks down the line, then jinks back inside confusing the defender (pallister?) then whips a ball towards goal. The shot looked to be way to high but it literally curled downwards and had he been 2 yards further out would of been one of the greatest goals at Pride Park, ever! Loved Wanchope, hated it when he went to West Ham and then came back and scored against us. Still a legend for me. As for freebies, ahem, Eranio. Sheer class. Rowett was also a good player.
