Off the top of my head (say £500k as the threshold): Barrett to Villa, £1.7m Bernard to Aberdeen, £1m Gerrard to Everton, £1m Marshall to Ipswich, £750k Edmundson to Rangers, £675k (or so) Fleming to Norwich, £600k Trotman to Preston, £500k Serrant to Newcastle, £500k Henry to Sheffield United, £500k What about biggest fees paid? (same threshold) Olney from Villa, £700k Milligan from Everton, £600k Pointon from City, £600k McDonald from Everton, £500k McCarthy from Bradford, £500k Pedersen from Brann, £500k (I think?) And of those signings, who lived up to it (bearing in mind those were decent fees in the early 90s)? Milligan was good, Pointon okay (but scored at Wembley and versus Southampton so deserves love for that) and McCarthy had one decent season in the second tier. Not a great outlay though. Royle really was better with limited funds.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Aberdeen he went to? Quite possibly. Think he scored a belter in one of his first games (v West Ham, 2-2?) but otherwise did little. Royle seemed to sign a few former Everton / City players whose best days were behind them unfortunately.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
