Million pound Shrimpers

[Yorkshire Blue]

I still can't get over the fact that Leon Cort is a million pound player.

How many other million pound players have played for Southend?

The transfer can be either before or after their time as a Shrimper, but they must have (at least to start with, if we get desperate, I might bend the rules) have had a single transfer of a million pounds or more.

Lets see if we can get an XI together.

GK ?
RB Steven Kelly
LB ?
CB Leon Cort
CB Richard Jobson
M Mike Marsh
RM Fat Boy Ricketts
CM Lead Bradbury
F Stanley Victor Collymore
F Freddy Eastwood
F Paul Williams

Neville Southall or maybe the Goat ?

 

[Bob Cratchitt]

Unfortunately not Joe, The Bin Man top transfer was to Everton for £150,000, whereas The Goat top single transfer was £500,000 to Reading from Man City, his total transfers tot up to £1,075,000

Ahh right well that answers that lol.

Technically Mike Marsh was part of a multi-million pound deal with Julian Dicks!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Good thinking on the Goat.

Anyone know how much Marsh was flogged for, when he left Anfield?

David Burrows was part of that deal too!

Seems that it was a straight player(s) swap and no actual money was exchanged in the deal, so Mike Marsh's highest transfer was £500,000, which he hit twice. One of them was us paying that amount for him.

So he played for Liverpool, West Ham, Coventry and Galatasalary before us. Im sure someone would have paid over 1 million for him

What about Lee Chapman? Did Chris Powell go to Charlton from Derby for over 1 million. What about spinner?

Galatasaray must have paid more than 1 million Turkish Lira. Does that count?

Lee Chapman would certainly have accrued over one million in combined moves as would Brett Angell and Chris Powell.

Exactly, I was thinking a few more Big Mac's or equivalent would see him there.

[Streaky]

Stephen Kelly (only on loan but still moved to Brum for over one millllllllion pounds)

Yeah but I dont want that arrogant pr*ck anywhere near a team representing Southend. Even if it is for a made up XI lol!
