    Bit of fun, what's peoples thoughts? A couple more recent ones from me.

    Shay McCartan, what did we pay 250k? A lot of money for somebody who spent the majority of his time on loan elsewhere.

    James Meredith, I may be wrong in this one but I think he was signed a free from York? Great player who contributed massively to our promotion and cup runes. Sour taste when he left to Millwall but always had bigger things coming for him.

    Aaron McLean scored the goal that got us the cup tie win Leeds and we all know what happened after that.

    Worth every bit of his transfer fee.

    Gareth Whalley - £600,000 One of the best midfielders we’ve had. Very underestimated in my opinion.

    McLean - brought absolutely zilch to the club. He’d have looked out of place at BPA.

    Surprised Scanz hasn’t been mentioned yet.

    Still waiting for him to tear up league 1.

    The £2.5m shelled out for Hopkin and then the tw@t returned and we had the double whammy of him being a sh!t manager also

    Mark Shwartzer was a relatively cheap signing, and I think we got a decent fee for him. Same with all the sell on boys - Wells, McBurnie etc.

    Can we list transfer fees where we totally robbed people also? I'll start with Sticks's £750k move to Villa :D

    Good shout, he never really wanted to come here so City should never have bothered.

    We got good money for Hanson when his injuries had made him a shadow of his best days.
