[Albion] Top 10 biggest transfer fees of all time

[Bozza]

We're just trying to slot Caicedo in their at number 9...

(Marc Cucurella is 56th, and Ben White is joint 79th)

Few undecided at the mo but out of 10 that's one success(and Mbappe was a no brainer) and one who took a year to be good(and isn't particularly better than the ones he replaced)

 

[Acker79]

Aren't we hoping to slot him in around number 4?

£100m = c€115m at current exchange rates.

£100m = c€115m at current exchange rates.

As far as I am aware, there is no official 100m tag from the club, that has been accepted by people who are guessing. The reports coming from people who have more obvious links to the Albion (Naylor, Owen, etc) tends to be the less specific 'Declan Rice is the Benchmark', which could be more indicative of what we're trying for (as opposed to what we might accept).

 

[Brok]

Jeez... the top two were 6 years ago.

 

[The Fits]

Enzo fifth. So ludicrous.

It could also mean the price is £105m…

 

[Badger Boy]

Declan Rice went for a crazy fee, really crazy. Imagine paying €122m for the modern day Nicky Butt.

 

[jamie (not that one)]

Mad how 6 of those could be considered massive flops.

Going to be soooooo funny the day that football finally eats itself and the market completely implodes. Footballing equivalent of 2008 Financial Crash. That day will come, nothing's surer, and not one 'football expert' will see it coming. They think this obscene wealth spiral will continue onwards and upwards forever. TB maybe sees the total collapso happening, and has hedged against it. Because when it happens the best run clubs with the lowest defecits shall inherit the earth. Step forward... BHAFC

A lot of mending going on there.

 

[Acker79]

£111m = €128.3m would put him in 3rd place.
