Don't know don't care. Keep winning Blades it's all that matters
 
I've no doubt that some of the fee will be payable on promotion - same with Done.

But still big big money for us.

not meant to come of wrong way just see it that we should not be worried about transfer fees as its not our money
 

Worth every penny if we go up this year or the next.

This year and everyone, except the "depressants" will see it as an investment for the future. Certainly in the Championship we will need more of his quality.

Brayford is one more, necessary part, of our future.
 
Think we overpaid. Wouldn't pay a million for Coady but will pay over 1.5 for Brayford? Not so sure myself, obviously if he scores at Wembley the fees repaid. Quality player, is a full back worth 1.5+ to a league 1 side? Maybe not.
 
He may well be talking about the package as a whole with wages which would be a serious outlay especially for a league one side. But he is pure class in this league.

Exactly what i was about to say mate, but as others have said, who cares while ever we're winning and still trying to play good football at the same time, long may it continue.
 
I don't get the 'could have been spent better elsewhere' line. We spent again on Matty Done and Paul Coutts. We'll spend again on a centre-forward. Why assume it's either/or? The landscape has changed (as I said all along...)

The money cannot have been better spent . We have been selective with the purchases of Brayford , Coutts , Done all having quality . We could have pissed the money up the wall , bringing in 6 to 8 mediocre players , just to make the numbers up even more . Good business imo. which we are reaping the benefits from already .

To say he was over priced is ridiculous the fans were split as to the way we were playing win, lose or draw when it was announced he had signed there was a marked increase in belief that not only could we get into playoffs but could get automatic not even just the fans, what price would any blade put on a massive rise in confidence ?
My personal opinion is the beard is a catalyst, not only has his signing renewed a little faith in the team but it has shown something I thought I'd never see at BDTBL, ambition from the board, maybe even commitment to our beloved club unseen in many years.
Added to this, brayford didn't decide the fee but if rumours are to be believed he took a very large pay cut to be where in his words "I think I belong" just for that alone I think the fee for him is worth it as that says he's a player that truly WANTS to play for and help SUFC get back to where he and they belong.

Check out how Brayford mustered his men around him after scoring at Rochdale on Blades Player.
