Someone like Negri, who was superb for a couple of weeks then disappears. 4M for the superb season, worth it. Over 4 years? debatable. A waster, who is one ex-player I can't be bothered with. After his injury in early Jan in his first season he managed a total of 2 goals (I believe) in his remaining 3 and a half years with the club, and a total of 3 appearances over his last 3 seasons with us. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,752 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Flo was 18 million Euros? I thought he was 12 million pounds. Surely that didn't equate to 18 million Euros back then. Flo's scoring record was still decent tbh. 29 goals in 52 appearances must be up there as one of the best goal per game ratios beyond the insane figures of Marco Negri? I still think he suffered with fan feedback due to having a rather lazy style and always looking rather emotionless tbh. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil's advocaat 1,541 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Be good to see the costs weighted to get a true level, ie a million pound player in 2000 can't really be equated to one in 2023. Which just makes most of the older ones even worse!. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which just makes most of the older ones even worse!. Partly why I didn't bother converting. I just wanted to generate a wee bit of discussion during the close season, and perhaps not spend weeks preparing... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 6,016 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Flo at five or six million would have been great. Flo + Zola at eighteen million might have been worth it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
