lordswoodsaints Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 Will we finally see the £4m signing on fee paid for delap finally be surpassed now that we are back in the premier league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 I bloody hope so!! Delap was utter garbage and I still find it cringeworthy that he is still our record buy. I think we will only break the 4 million barrier once this summer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambosa75 Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 Yes, without a doubt. Not by much and perhaps only once but I am confident we will. Gary Hooper could still be the one. I am of the thinking we still need one more forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_jas Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 Would hope so but better quality. Although still one of the best overhead kicks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 That was such a long time ago you've got to factor in the inflations! I bought a double decker chocolate bar today and it was like 45p or something. Now I can't remember when Delap signed or how much double deckers were at the time but let's say they were probably about 30p. I'm no mathematician but by my calculations that means the transfer record is actually £4m plus 15 pence (i.e. original transfer fee plus the cost difference Double Decker 2012 less Double Decker 2002 or whatever).

Give it to Ron Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 I was listening to Durham on the way home last night and he couldnt believe Stoke had given hom another year on his contract. He has had a bad season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 No doubt whatsoever we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 I Imagine so inflation means even average PL players are going for 4-5 million these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestersaint Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 I thought Delap was OK - but it was a long time ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opthomps Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 I was listening to Durham on the way home last night and he couldnt believe Stoke had given hom another year on his contract. He has had a bad season. Considering he wants regular football so am I. Imagine he will go out on loan if a decent offer comes along. He wasn't as bad for us as some make out, but yeah, he isn't a worldbeater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 Decrap looked like an inspired signing at the time, but it turned out that he preferred to hoof it over his shoulder rather than be brave, control the ball and pass it deliberately to a Saint. Took the easy way out time after time, as Wotton did several years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 We wont know because it will be undisclosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 I'm not sure Wotton took 'the easy way out'? His first touch and his positional play were so poor he often took the only way out! He was a player of his times, Lge one and his legs had gone, right signing, wrong player! I loved his commitment (Southend away, Watford away, JPT final etc), I enjoyed the journey, I'm sure he did too, I wonder if he still worries about us as much as we still worry about him?

aintforever Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 I expect we will break it at least 3 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussexsaint Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 I predict we will make several significant and surprising signings, as said 'undisclosed' , but we are back, and as Cortese has already said as we are ahead of schedule re the 5 year plan the funds will be avaliable. If rumours were to be believed if hooper had come in January that would have smashed the Delap record ' sometimes he's good , usually cr*p' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
