Have we overpaid for Brady? I said straight away he was a £5m player, so yeah - maybe a million or two imo -

It was mentioned - somewhere between pages 1 and 84 <laugh> that there may be a bit of 'tit-for-tat' inasmuch as Hull may feel that they paid over the odds for Snoddy and may have seen this deal as a way of redressing the balance?

Agreed and it's not too much over the odds. He'll certainly intensify the fight for places in the starting 11!!!!!
 
I can't see how we have overpaid. £7m for a 23 year old current international with good Premiership experience who covers 2 positions where we were weak seems good business to me especially when you look at the prices being paid elsewhere for older players with no Premiershjp experience.

Entirely possible. That's their prerogative. He was their player. If we wanted him to be our player, we have to play by their rules. If not, they keep him. Works both ways and I know we're a right bunch of you-know-whats when it comes to sales!

All down to personal views I suppose - how much people value players can vary. I tend to agree that we've paid what we'd expect to pay in the current market. That's not to say he's not overpriced, or even underpriced! Some will see it either way.
 
thing with Snoddy is they spent a large portion of their budget on a player who didn't manage to play a game. I would feel cross about that especially having got relegated with it as a contributing factor.

No specific mention of a CB which I must admit, concerns me - especially after watching the uncertainty between Martin and Whitaker this afternoon?
Also, why a LB? I thought the point of busting a gut to get Brady to sign was his versatility, which includes covering Olsson at LB if required?
