Expensive XI

[Uncle Leo]

Earlier today, I was thinking of players who have played for Southend and have, at some point in their career, been transferred for big money. I didn't get very far before thinking that it would do nicely for a thread on here. I'll start things off with a few players, let's see if we can get over £25m. We need to keep it to a realistic(ish) XI as well, can't be having eight strikers.

Stephen Kelly for one of the full-back berths? Birmingham paid £750k for him

 

[MK Shrimper]

Fatty Southall cost Everton £150K.

 

[MrB]

Jimmy Corbett £525k for midfield and in the absence of anyone else, Mildy once went for £150k.

Phil Whelan £300k, can't imagine he would make it.

Permanent players only surely??

Any advances on what we have here? We're at nearly £20m. Goalie seems a little low. Surely Mel Capleton went for a seven figure fee at some point of his career?

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Hooper subs bench with 2.4m Scunthorpe to Celtic.

 

[BrettieAngell]

What about Royce?

 

[The Late One]

Not that it can be included but somebody once said that Peter Clarke cost us £1m

 

[EastStandBlue]

What about Royce?

Funnily enough, we're the only club to ever pay a fee for Simon Royce according to Soccer Base.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Otto to Birmingscum for £800k for midfield?

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Steve Mildenhall equals southall with £150k (Swindon to Notts County)

 

[BrettieAngell]

Funnily enough, we're the only club to ever pay a fee for Simon Royce according to Soccer Base.

That is surprising.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Otto to Birmingscum for £800k for midfield?

I thought he went for that much but i wasn't so sure.
