Shezza91 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Connor Wickham went to Sunderland for a fee of £8.1m Has any other Wednesday player, past or current, ever been transferred for more than that prior to playing for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyfunk Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Kirkland went to Liverpool for 6million in 2001. Probably a greater sum in real terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Distraught! Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Franny? Maybe he was 7.5 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Distraught! Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 In comparative terms given when it happened, Waddle's transfer to Marseilles is probably the highest. Not in numerical terms but given the going rate for players at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shezza91 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 I was talking about highest fee regardless. If we are talking about real terms ie. Considering the year then it would be Tricky Trev who was the 1st £1m player making him the most expensive. Does/has anyone topped Wickhams fee though?

Truebluefreddy Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Darko kovacecic went for 12 million I think after leaving us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Franny? Maybe he was 7.5 million? Wasn't he ten? Have this distinct memory on Arsenal blowing 10million on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Task Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) I was talking about highest fee regardless. If we are talking about real terms ie. Considering the year then it would be Tricky Trev who was the 1st £1m player making him the most expensive. Does/has anyone topped Wickhams fee though? Didn't Stevanovic go for £15mil after we'd given him up for next to nothing?Edit - woops.

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Darko kovacecic went for 12 million I think after leaving us And that was 4/5 of the World Record at the time. Christ we dropped the ball with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shezza91 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yes Darko did but my original post states PRIOR to playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Distraught! Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Wasn't he ten? Have this distinct memory on Arsenal blowing 10million on him. I think Franny's was one of those undisclosed things with the press taking guesses at what the actual figure was. Some of the guesses being taken as fact.

thailand owl Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 According to soccerbase Franny was 8m so the answer must be no there has not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shezza91 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 In that case no. End of thread I wasn't sure.... Why be a knob about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack-Abusi Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Kovacevic went for around £16m i think, twice or something!! To Juventus and then Lazio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Darko. Highest rated young striker in Europe when we bought him. Took thatflappleat twelve months to turn him into a sunday league player! I hat thatwat!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 There was a thread on FB, about 7 players who went for 7m or more, but never played for full England squad. Wickham never even crossed my mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 With Wickham and Lita costing around £10m between them the last time they changed clubs, they certainly form the most expensive strike partnership in SWFC history. That's "most expensive" rather than "most costly" before somebody refers to De Bilde, Jonk etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POWP Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Jeffers transfer was somewhere in the region of £8M-10M and Conner Wickham £8.1-£12 depending on performance related addons etc. I guess Jeffers never "performed" so probably stood at £8M in total?
