Bill Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Darren Bent has to be the best, irrespective of how you see him as a footballer, nobody else could make a profit of 14 MILLION IN TWO SEASONS. must be by far the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmymac Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 anelka, bought for £500k in 96, sold for £22.3 million in 99 to real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I stand corrected, (said the man in the orthopaedic shoes) by someone other than the poster who made the claim. Have just looked through them and noticed Anelka was there, so indeed that has to be the best transfer of all time........ Unless you know any different.

CraccerC Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 campbell shud b up there.... not that many signings saved clubs in the way he did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Then if thats the case, why is essien on there? i mean yeah he's done well but he hasnt fully justified the £24M tag yet. Its because he is one of the worlds best players and if it wasnt for him last season, playing in all different postions then chelsea wouldnt of finished 2nd, he was excellent last season.

J*A*C*K*E*L*Z Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 these kind of lists are allways going to cause contreversy people are just going to have to live with that i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not having that, hes fookin good yer, but, the more you pay the more likely you are of getting a good player, hes lived up to expectations. Now if you cost 1mil from some unknown club I'd be impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Fair enough, your entitled to your opinion, i think he fully deserves his place on that list due to his performances last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Davie Weir has got to be on there somewhere? 220k for one of the best defenders in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 i'm with zed on this one...no way on earth should essien be on that list. he's only played one season that doesn't go anywhere near justifying 24 million. if in 4 or 5 years time he's the best player in the world then maybe. but you can't be on a list like that after 1 year unless you either make a massive return for a club or you cost buttons ... arteta was a better buy than essien by fucking miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calico Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I agree with Everton Lad on Essien. I also think it is difficult, if not impossible, to compare his and Arteta's transfers since Essien has been playing in a high pressure situation whereas Arts hasn't IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 and essien cost over 10 times more. if essien at 24 is one of the best signings ever, then i'm jenny from the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I CAN'T BELIEVE PETR CECH ONLY COST CHELSEA £7 MIL I bet you definitely can't beleive he almost joined us when he was 20 but the move fell through because of work permit problems!

Calico Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) and essien cost over 10 times more. if essien at 24 is one of the best signings ever, then i'm jenny from the block. Essien cost ten times more because his form for Lyon had been so impressive, whereas Mikel wasn't really pulling up any trees for Sociedad. Then you add the fact that moneybags Chelski and Arsenal and Man Utd were all bidding for Essien and the price inflates even further. Hell, most likely half of Europe was bidding for him, whereas not many - if any - of Europe's big guns would have been bidding for Arteta. Football is a supply and demand market, and it seems that players the ilk of Essien are in short supply. Arteta has been great for us, but even then not so much this year, whereas when most people look at Essien they realise this fella can be world class for most teams. Edit: I'm not saying that I think he is one of the top 50 transfers of all time btw, just that I can see why he would be called that. In fact, I'm more about saying that it doesn't make much sense to compare his and Arteta's transfers to each other. Perhaps compare Essien to Chelsea with Veron to Man Utd? That would seem a tad fairer based on the particular situations involved. Edited December 17, 2007 by Calico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
