Record CM signing 14:11 - Jul 10 with 4069 views | Daninthecampo | With Azor looking likely for circa £10m ,got me thinking as who is currently our CM record signing? We obviously didn't buy one last season and can't remember any big signings with Burley in the Prem. Surely we must've spent some decent money in that position at some time |  | | |  |
Record CM signing on 14:12 - Jul 10 with 3280 views | Funge | Matt Holland was £800k; any improvements? |  | |  |

Just had a quick Google, undisclosed but supposed to be £2-2.5M, so I got a bit carried away but still can't think of a higher fee for a midfielder. |  | |  |

I think Norris was £2.25m and Leadbitter was £2.6m |  |

What is Jack Taylor with all his activated add-ons? Must push that close. |  | |  |

Wow that really highlights how little we've spent in that position in the last 20 years! With Jack our most expensive current CM for less than 2m! |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Was Leadbitter's and Carlos Edwards ' a combined fee, or was it broken down? |  | |  |

Oh that's right. I had only remembered it as £4 million for them both. I'm sure it was one of Phil's headlines on the day. Must read the small print (or the actual story)! I remember it happening really quickly. [Post edited 10 Jul 14:55]

I know it’s not beating any mentioned since your post but Nolan and Nsiala combined was £2m! |  |

Ha, yup. Signed a midfielder who couldn't kick a fookin football. |  |

Record CM signing on 15:32 - Jul 10 with 2399 views | Westcountryblue | Grant Leadbitter for 2.6m is a record signing in CM. We've had a alot of false dawns in that position...Bishop, Nydam, Dozzell, Garvan, Downes (not that we saw the best of him), but also brought in some outstanding value in the likes of Luongo and Morsy. |  | |  |
Record CM signing on 15:42 - Jul 10 with 2321 views | muhrensleftfoot | On a slightly different note, the best midfield value for money deal ever must be Bobby Robson selling Brian Talbot for I think £450,000 and using that money to buy Muhren and Thijssen, and getting change! |  | |  |

Although he did have to wait until he went to PSV 12 years later before he could spend those guilders. Probably devalued quite a bit in that time! |  |

Unusually, Middlesborough fans seem to absolutely revere him, I wonder what happened |  | |  |

I always remember him bossing the play off semi final at Sheffield United, especially the second half, from sweeper. |  | |  |

I take your Nolan and raise you Paul Taylor for £1.5 mil. Poor and worse a terrible human being. |  |

Awful bit of transfer business that, pretty certain we didn’t scratch the surface too deeply when looking at professionalism and character with that one. |  |
