Our transfer record (over time)

It currently stands at £16.5m for Didier Ndong and whilst I know the likes of Asamoah Gyan, Darren Bent, Rodwell etc all were close in terms of the final fee, I'm interested in knowing the transfer fee progression over time.

As a kid I remember signing Alex Rae for £1m which broke our record at the time, which I think was David Kelly from Wolves for £900,000, the season earlier. I also think Craig Gordon for £9m was our record for a while.

Any specific memories of us spending big relative to the time?

 

I couldnt understand why we bought Chris Turner at the time. What do I know.

Paul Butler was one I said was way too much. About a million quid I think. Canny play mind and was worth the dosh.

How much did we pay to get Gates? That was a bit of a coup then.

 

We paid a canny bit for Fletcher from wolves didn't we? Also the alvarez thing was a joke.
