Has any other Town player been sold for more? I appreciate he was only here on loan.
Not cumulative as i imagine Darren bent would win that one. |  | | |  |

Think Webster to Brighton was in the £20m range, not sure of the exact amount, cat think of anyone else. |  |

Mings to Villa was that kind of number too. |  | | |

Can’t think of anyone higher - Webster was probably the highest before at £20m when he joined Brighton
Bent would definitely be leading the way cumulatively, looks to be about £60m although given Wood joined Burnley for £15m and had moved a couple of times before that for seven figures he’s not too far behind there either! |  |

Ah good point - £20m rising to £25m with add-ons according to most reports at the time. Not sure how I forgot him! | |

As an aside....Warky would have been worth £100m plus easily nowadays. |  |

I thought Wood was going for £20m? Mings was £25m so I guess it must be him |  |

Astute business from the Geordies. Taking a relegation rivals main striker....causes Burnley huge issues is that cannot replace him.
Piggot to Burnley anyone? | |

Warky's value would have been off the scale in today's market. Throw in The Beat too - worth more than Van Dijk? |  | | |

Darren Bent was £58.46m apparently. | | | |

Think you've undervalued Mick Mills there... an England Captain don't forget?? |  | | |

Probably the most surpising one as well based on his performances for us.
He may not have been fit, but he was awful for us. |  |

Fair point. I was going on his age at the time. I was 14/15 at the time and I suppose Mick Mills was probably our least 'sexy' footballer in that brilliant team. He was steady, did a job and a great leader but he wasn't one you were going to have on a badge like some of the other flair players. | | | |

Depends which moment that you're imagining we sold them. But, at their individual peaks, and at today's prices, I would say that you've undervalued virtually every one of them. As it actually played out, of course, we sold almost none of them before their best years were already past although, for a variety of reasons, Brazil, while still young enough, couldn't replicate what he'd done with us. | |

Osman and Burley worth twice as much as Mills? Have a word. [Post edited 13 Jan 2022 6:17]

I suspect Danny Hegan is the most expensive player ever to play for Town. Sold for £90,000 when the British record was £113,500. 80% of todays record fee would see him go for £80million plus | |
