    Which ones stand out?

    SKP for peanuts must be no.1 of good deals. An absolute steal.

    But in more recent times. Kirchoff for 750k seems a real bargain. But swapping Altidonkey for Defoe was a masterstroke.

    On the flipside Rodwell and AJ really had someones pant down.

    AJ in a non haribo for a gobble way.

    Craig Gordon one of the biggest disapointments, Steven Fletcher another, both looked like they could do with a backbone. Best buy in recent times I would go for Mig, made a profit on him too, that is a refreshing change.

    When we went in to sign him, the Rangers fans, fair dos were telling us to stay well away and that he was not the man to turn to in times of need, far from it, but Peter knew better, we bought him in a double swoop including marcus Sterwart if I remember rightly and the individual fees were never disclosed, but the figure bandied about was 15-20 million for the pair. wonder if anyone else can shed any light on this one.

    Thanks Billy, a few years ago you would have bumped into Jim Baxter in the Derby, it was one of his stops after training.

    £1.6m !!!! And they guy still thinks he did well for us.

    Crazy! But is Rodwell's £10m any worse than that? Yes, probably.

    Best deal Defoe swap for Altidore

    Worst Jack Rodwell for £10m

    Always thought Flo got a rough deal from our fans

    Sure he only got 1 less goal than Super Demi god Kevin Phillips that season.

    Nope he was on loan to us.

    Had he not been made of glass then we'd probably have signed him.

    When you think that the likes of Rodwell, Fletcher & Johnson all cost North of £10m, surely Darren Bent who cost £10m was a good deal.

    32 goals in 58 games is a cracking record.

    Right enough Billy, but his reputation as a support/provider was sealed when he was at Chelsea when he and Zola were unstoppable. I think that was the reason, an only one, why we signed what turned out to be a plank.

    Jermaine lens 9mill. He's hasn't done an awful lot to re-pay that sum.

    Wes brown 1mill. Has put in some great performances for us over the years, most technically gifted centre half I've seen at the club.
