eightball 0 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I just checked there and Santa Cruz cost Blackburn �£3.5million. He is a world class player and he cost less than Burnley want for a young unproven player from the Championship! FFS! The British transfer market is a crazy place! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Spiralled totally out of control 8. It really is ridiculous. No wonder there are so many foreign players 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightball 0 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Well we can take advantage of it too. Pay �£750k for Cousin and then punt him for �£3million! Nice! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 I think it was only �£2m Your just guessing :fish: We should be doing more business like the Cousin deal to make money if thats the way the UK transfer system is. Blackburns strike force cost 6 million yet Lafferty is valued at 4 million - thats a joke. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The problem for us would be that even though we could afford to pay 2 mil for Macarthy or Santa Cruz so many other clubs in better leagues would be in for them. But it is amazing how much some of these untested players will go for. We were quoted 3.5 mill for Luke Moore.... and yet could have paid just over half that for Macarthy - unreal ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Tim Cahill is also another an example. Not going to look for figures but did we not back out cos of 500k or something? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought someone said we were asked for 2 mill but wouldnt go higher than 1.5 mill. COuld be wrong though 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I think those figures could be roughly right Craig. I thought we were asked for �£2m but could be wrong. Im sure your right about the extra that we were asked for tho. What a player for Everton ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
