Barney 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Not sure if this one has been done before, but I was thinking about the "great" bit of business at selling Parker for £500k more than we signed him and got to thinking about 1) the times we've made a good profit on a player? and on the other side of the fence, 2) players we've lost our bollocks on? Also, 3) players that we really got our moneys worth out of? I've just started with a few here, feel free to add/take away 1) Profit Scott Parker : £500k Woodgate : £4.4m Andy Cole : £5m roughly Jermaine Jenas : £4m Gillespie : £1.5m Hamann : £3.5m Batty : £650k 2) Loss Viana : £3m ??? Marcelino : £5m Luque : £10m - ish Cort : £5m Maric : £1.5m Ferguson : £4m Boumsong : £5m 3) Good Value Given : free Speed : £5m loss Ferdinand : £0 profit/loss Ginola : £500k loss Shearer : £15m loss Bellamy : £2.5m loss Robert : £10.5m loss Rob Lee : undisclosed Kevin Gallacher : £700k loss I left out a good few for the point of discussion. Was Bramble a £4.5m waste? We got a fair few years out of him and he fulfilled his contract. Was Robert a waste of £10.5m? Also, I'm not including every single player we've made a profit/loss on, more the ones who were highest profile. I'm only going back as far as Keegans years, feel free to add futher back if possible. Before anyone mentions it, I haven't put Owen in either All prices have come from here : http://www.nufc.com/2006-07html/transfers.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
