    Well as I truly believe we currently have a future England international if not Captain in our ranks, I'm going to stick my neck out and say Jonny Howson, only time will tell of course <ok>

    Going a lot further back it's got to be Martin Peters !

    Going back a bit, surely Rob Green has to be right up there?

    Bradley Johnson
    Cost £0
    Contribution Hundreds of Miles

    Therefore, an excellent value-for-money signing!

    Malky was pretty good value. When you consider he and Flem (who was more expensive, but still decent value) cost us less than a million combined, that's a great bit of business!

    Just to add to that, Mark Bowen cost us 90k! 140k for both Culverhouse and Bowen!! The world of footbal was a very different place, wasn't it?

    If I put my negative hat on, the best signing was the deal to take Eadie to Leicester. Brilliant for us, but injuries were already starting to catch up, so £3 million was a really good deal for us. Not so much for Leicester.
    Terrible shame for such a fantastic talent to have to finish so early.

    Come on guys, put your thinking caps on. There was a club before the last three seasons. He said 15 years. Not 15 months.

    Darren Beckford 900K ? We were in for him and Robbie Earle at the time. The Wombles offered Earle more money and we ended up with Beckford . We certainly drew the short straw there <doh>
