[Archived] Summer Spending Money


Recommended Posts

You have to wonder what was the last big money signing who was actually much good? Cole was reasonable, but apart from that it has been a pretty miserable run- Grabbi, Ferguson, Davies...

Why don't we sign incredible players on the cheap? Tugay, Freidel, Nelsen, samba, mcCarthy, bellamy, Bentley, Pedersen, Mokoena, Warnock...

Bellamy cost us at least 5 million. I know it was good value, but it wasn't cheap.

Sorry my fellow Keeleite (is that the right name?) but im pretty sure that it was only £3.75m and we sold him off for £6.5m (rather then buying him for £5m plus and selling for £5m)

There were lots of different figures being bandied around. I remember seeing one that said £4 mill. Wiki says it was rumoured to be between £2.5 million (Never saw any estimates that low, personally) and £5 million. Guess we mere supporters will never truly know.

According to the BRFC PLC accounts for the year to June 2006 we spent £8.249m on players. The players coming in between July 2005 and June 2006 were Bellamy, Bentley, Kilashvilli, Kuqi and Ollson. Assuming Bentley was circa £1m, Kilashvilli £0.5m, Kuqi - free + signing on fee, Ollson say £0.3m then add on another £0.5m for agents fees/signing on fees/corrections to estimates that leaves approx £6m spent for the purchase of Bellamy.

Or have I missed another big signing we made during that period

And what I personally read was that Bentley was in the region of 500k. Ollson was a 'nominal' fee, and considering his status and whatnot I doubt it was near 300k. Perhaps the signing on fees might have been higher though.

I have to this day believed Bentley was about 2 mill. However this could've been one of those dreams :lol:.
