seem more than happy with £3m, a lot seemed to have been expecting £1.5m

If he can make a similar contribution to his current form over remaining game the payback will be huge! |  |

Didn't Wrexham pay £7m+ for Broadhead with just 1 year left.
This feels on par with that. |
I think you are right EG.
I find it hard to get my head around changing values for players. I guess the influx of money from new owners in addition to Premier League is ripping up what is expensive, cheap, about right.
But in the current climate, £3m feels decent for both clubs. I’ve only seen him on tv (unless he played in the home game two years ago) but he looks a neat and tidy player. Good age too. |  | | |

The happiness with £3m now versus a free in the summer probably overlooks the actual cost of a 'free' signing as well.
If he was out of contract, he'd certainly be expecting a good chunk of that fee to end up in his/his agent's pocket instead. [Post edited 23 Jan 13:42]

ZX1988 absolutely spot on. Free transfers are never ‘free’. They come with huge signing on fees and big wages. I know it’s a totally different level but the figures mooted around the most recent famous one in Mbappe to Real Madrid suggests a signing on fee on either £85 mill of 150 mill euros! And, that’s on top of the £300k a week wages.
Translate that down to our level and even if we got him in the summer, he still wouldn’t be ‘free’. Pardon the pun but I think the price is right :) | | | |

Feels like a bargain - Marcus Stewart cost £2.5M to get us over the line in 2000, and that turned out to be quite a reasonable piece of business. |
Reasonable? I'd argue one of the best transfer fees we've ever spent in that we got promotion and Europe. | |

Feel sorry for them to be honest. It's severely dented their hopes of getting to the playoffs. At least they still have a week to shop around in the transfer market to lift their spirits. Football can be pretty ugly at times. |  |

I remember thinking the fee for Stuart Slater was mind-blowing |  | | |

I can hear a goal at Ashton Gate from my garden, and so am in a territory full of City fans. A lot of the ones I know are not happy at all. |  |

Well actually, considering how badly it turned out it was a mind blowing fee! | | | |
