How does anyone know that we haven't already broken our 1.5 million with record when we signed David Healy. When was the last signing we made that wasn't an undisclosed fee. I think we have broken that but we just don't know the real figures of the deals we have made.
 
I think even with the word undisclosed, the club would announce it as "a club record transfer fee (undisclosed)" if so as you suggest.

FWIW, I don't think we have broken it. It would have been common knowledge by now, whatever year it occurred.
 
You could argue that we paid 100k for Hugill and then a deferred payment of £2m when we sold him on, so his cost to us was £2.1m. Maybe I should leave that to Kathryn!

If we had, there'd be some on here posting that they'd been told or heard something. Thats a guarantee.

Not knocking them, I don't mind reading stuff like that, especially at this time of year. Make my own mind up with what I choose to believe.

Pretty sure we haven’t come close. Think Carter and Chaplow were around the £1mill mark.

Why me? I don’t have inside info on transfers. If, as you say, we paid £100k for Hugill, then that’s what we paid. The sell-on surely doesn’t count as part of the transfer fee?
 
It’s your ( wholly undeserved I might add) reputation as Queen of the pedants Kathryn.

I Thought in port vales books it would be a 2.1m sale. So there is a logic that it would be 2.1 m buy to us.

Remember be really pleased when we signed him and Nichols. That didn’t work out too well lol

Yeah, I had Nichols in mind when I said Carter was one of the worst value signings. There wasn't much between them. You could probably add Sumulikoski who we sign from Ipswich to the list as well !

Name a player who cost us a transfer fee over £1.5 million apart from David Healy.
 
Healy is our record signing and I recall it being £1.8m, not £1.5.

Though perhaps some was bonus related and didn't get paid?

Though I think you're right as ever....."

DAVID HEALY, the exciting young striker who has become a hero in his native Northern Ireland before making any impact at club level with Manchester United, has agreed to join First Division Preston for what promises to be a club record £1.5 million."
