How Much Would They Cost Now?

[SRBlade]

Although it is only showing Premier League related signings and sales, it's interesting to know Willie Falconer would command an £8m transfer fee nowadays.

Deane's fee to Leeds has translated a lot higher than I expected, even in today's massively inflated fees.

See below with the filter of Sheff Utd.

£10m for Claude Davis is wild money!

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

I wasn't sure at first whether the 5,848,098 quoted for Nathan Blake was in Pounds or a measurement in square miles of his fat arse

 

[MadDad38]

Somebody with time on their hands might like to do a comparison of the inflation in Kazim-Richard’s fee with the increase in the cost of a can of Coke in the same time.

Claude Davis £10m has absolutely destroyed me

 

[diplomat]

I forgot we paid a lot of money to not see Luke Freeman ever play. That was a bit of a waste.

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Not sure how they're figuring that all the 2019-20 signings would be worth exactly the same in today's money. Can't just be my imagination that asking prices across the board have rocketed in the last 5 years.

Rob Hulse at north of £10 mill, on the other hand, makes Cannon's price tag make more sense

Willie Falconer centre forward?

What a load of rubbish

Wonder how much tc and woody etc. Would be worth

 

[nopigfansintown]

Burrows, Cooper, Campbell

Did you not get to many games when we went up?

We saw him a few times before Covid hit?

 

[Pintor75]

Think Kelly would be worth a lot more in today's market

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Interesting stuff…

Their boots would be worth more than Claude Davis.

My dear old dad always used to say woody was the best corner taker he'd ever seen, no doubt someone will know how many he scored direct from a corner ??

Always wondered what Adrian Littlejohn would have been worth today with the stats of his first PL season. 8 goals in a struggling side and scored a few in the cup.
Could see a team offering 15-20 million after the first year?

We sold TC to Leeds for about £250k. The record fee at the time was about £300k (Latchford I think Silent Blade?) So work TC out according to the current record fee. By my calculations it's about £90m

Its very hard to tell (having not seen most of them play and sure I'll get some stick here and there!) and quite subjective but here goes:

Currie: £85 million
Deano: £65 million
Hagan: £65 million
Edwards: £20 million (due to most of career spent outside top flight)
Whitehouse: £20 million

Feel free to add other names of valuable players we have had in the past as well

Just to be clear, this is a made up 'football inflation' calculation that has no relationship to actual inflation. The fact that they haven't explained how they arrive at their values mean it's not a particuarly informative dataset. "We took a load of transfers, multiplied them by a secret number, and this is the result".

They suggest that the value of transfer fees almost quadrupled 2007-2017, and then have basically remained the same since, which seems to be nonsense.

TC was worth £90m then.

All the players you mention were equally essential to the teams they played in.
When it comes down to individual skill, I've watched them all, Hagan needs to be priced at £90,000, he was just that fraction a better footballer than T.C., and that's saying something as both were in the top echelon of their day.

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

Bargain of the century. Similar price to Cooper and although Cooper is a very good keeper he's not anywhere near as good as AK was (although could be in time).

Alan Kelly

Goalkeeper

1992-1993

Looks a load of bollocks to me.

 

[Old Programme seller]

Are you sure thar Deano went to Leeds for £3.9 million ? Thought it was more £2.9 ?

 

[itsinyerblood]

Sabella?

Colin Morris?

Was 2.9 million that cost the club untold millions when we got relegated. Thick bastards on board, Bassett told em same.

 

[Zero dark thirty]

As an owl alan Kelly was a great keeper

Reg Brierley contacted Dave Richards to see if we wanted deane for 3 million.
