Our best free agent signing since who? Our best striker since who? What a phenomenal impact he's having!

I think last night was his best game for a while. Previously it looked like he was still carrying the effects of his injury, but in the disorganised/organised chaos of last night he reigned supreme. Why? Sergei talked about a different approach, and we seemed to play more long balls last night, while at the same time mixing it up with the delightful passing moves such as the one that Egan finished. Perhaps playing Gelhardt, Joseph and McBurnie together helped give McB more freedom. But also (before his v sad injury) Giles and Millar combined sensationally and balls were firing in from that left wing like a machine gun. Once Giles went off Millar reverted to the frustrating ‘no end product’/firing balls miles over version of himself.

Was Windass a freebie from Ferriby after we’d earlier released him? If so, he gives McB a run for his money.
Abdi Faye was a great free agent signing
Aluko too
Alex Bruce
Jakupovic
Rosenior
George Boyd

And actually we paid Ferriby £60,000 - so he cost even more than Regan Slater! (EDIT - as others have pointed out this was sell-on clause not fee).

60k? Are you sure? My memory isn’t great, but I don’t remember us signing anyone for anything like that back then!
Regan slater must be our best ever paid transfer?
For the price in modern football
A player who is close to 200 games for us..

Ah - a % of the future fee.
As Bruce said above, we seldom signed anyone for that sort of fee after relegation to Div3 - let alone for an unproven non-league player.
That said, same season, I think we paid 50k for Alan Fettis from Ards.
In recent times, could be a candidate.
As could Stephen Quinn.
If you were looking at profit from a paid for signing, would Maguire or Clucas be the best?
I believe we paid a fee to North Ferrby when we signed him and then the percentage of the sell-on when he left.
