- Can we stop going on about McGuinness’ fee?
on 9/3/2025, 15:43:35
We’ve obviously spent all season debating our recruitment policy. Yes, Mark McGuinness made a mistake for Burnley’s first goal yesterday. But he’s been one of our most reliable players this season. Crucially, in our defence, he’s also rarely injured.
We can’t criticise 2020 for doing things on the cheap, then whine that our relatively inexpensive record signing is a waste of money every time he messes up. It makes us look cheap too.
Fwiw, I don’t think we should be throwing Ł15m at players. But I’d have liked another three or so in the Ł6m bracket before the season started.
Blackburn - Jordan Rhodes, Andy Cole, Ł8m
Bristol City - Tomas Kalas, Ł7.8m
Burnley - Zeki Amdouni, Ł16m
Cardiff - Emiliano Sala, Ł15m (or Gary Medel, Ł11m)
Coventry - Haji Wright, Ł8m
Derby - Krystian Bielik, Ł10m
Hull - Ryan Mason, Ł13m
Leeds - Georgino Rutter, Ł36m
Luton - Mark McGuinness, Ł6m
Middlesbrough - Britt Assambalonga, Ł16m
Millwall - Camiel Neghli, Ł3m
Norwich - Emiliano Buendia, Ł33m
Oxford - Dean Windass, Ł470,000
Plymouth - Michael Baidoo, Ł1.5m
Portsmouth - Peter Crouch, Ł12m
Preston - Milutin Osmajic, Ł2m
QPR - Christopher Samba, Ł12.5m
Sheff Utd - Rhian Brewster, Ł23.5m
Sheff Wed - Jordan Rhodes, Ł8m
Stoke - Gianelli Imbula, Ł18m
Sunderland - Didier N’Dong, Ł13.8m
Swansea - Andre Ayew, Ł18m
Watfraud - Ismaila Sarr, Ł25m
WBA - Salomon Rondon, Ł14.2m
