Bummed off players bought back for pure £

Featured Replies

Just looking at Eze tonight and remember him standing out.for.qpr in circa 2019, when ameobi got crocked and ultimately led to our relegation..imo..

Anyway.he was at arsenal as a kid, got binned off for nothing as a kid, they then spend 70 mill to buy him back.. 

 

What are the other stand out examples, apart from pogba,  of teams going back in....?

Citeh spent a bunch bringing Traf back only to then spend another shit ton bringing in donnaruma.

 

Anelka for PSG

Newcastle are rumoured to want Elliot Anderson back 

Sold him for £35m but would cost about £100m if he does 

We splashed out 200k for Morley after releasing him

Aye. Was on our books and he ended up at Dale.

Think it was 100k we paid mind

Was rumoured to be between 100 and 200, but we did release him

When he was 14.

We had Gretta Steinsson on trial and could have picked him up for nothing...Years later we paid 3.5m for him

Pogba is the best one

 

Bought him for a few mill

Let him go for free

Bought him back for £100m

Let him go for free

 

United 😆

Barcelona paid £35M to buy Fabregas back off Arsenal after he went there for nothing

but then sold him to Chelsea for roughly the same

Didn't we get Bob Taylor from West Brom on a free. Then sold him back for something like £250,000.

Got Andy Walker for around £150,000 from Celtic and sold him back to them for £500,000.

Although they only sold him to satisfy Profit & Sustainability rules, they had to sell players they hadn't paid a fee for, to maximise profit.  They sold Minteh to Brighton the same month for the same reason, £68 mil profit on 2 players, supposedly to avoid a points deduction.

We’ve done quite well in that regard. Made a good profit on Frandsen when we got him back from Blackburn

the piss take in all that was they had to sell Anderson to satisfy some financial ruling

yet he was bought by a team who had just been docked points for spending beyond their means

there will never be a better bit of footballing business than when we got £300k for Dietmar Hamann

Was just going to say the same. Loved that bit of business, but mostly him being shit for them and ace for us, twice.

Didn’t they sell their 3rd keeper to Newcastle for £25m for similar reasons. Essentially doing each other favours.

Agreed. Smallish sums but magical.

The bollox about him not understanding a lass serving in a fast food shop is such shite.

We signed him believing Campo was leaving. The day after Campo did sign. Hamann must have realised he was going straight onto the bench & so got in contact with Citeh who'd been trying to get him.

I'm not saying we should feel sorry for multi millionaire footballers, but with the PSR rules, there must be some players enjoying playing for their local club, kids going to local schools etc, no intention of moving, who are told "you're moving to Nottingham next week".  I'm sure it comes with a long contract and a pay rise, but still, they won't have much say in it presumably if the club are in danger of getting sanctions.

Closely followed by Zach Clough.

£9m for those two. Gee Whizz.
