1. Carillo
2. Ramirez
3. Vestergaard
***
Sulemana would have been right up there if it weren't for the fees paid for Livramento and Ings just eclipsing his fee
*** caveat here is that the fees are based on Transfermarkt info.... |  |

I remember million pound macca (RIP) years ago. Purely because he was our first £1M player(?) I'm putting him forward. |  |

Ramirez at 2?!?! He cost around £11m and had one ok season where he scored 5 goals and had several assists.
I think you need to rank Tall Paul above him. £15m and did the square root of f'k all. |  |

Clue is in the title.
Tall Paul wasn’t a record signing. | |

We had some very good ones under Bates and McMenemy, like Ron Davies, Kevin Keegan and Dave Watson.
Wasn't Perry Groves our record signing under Branfoot? That didn't go well. |  |

Livramento? I thought we paid about 5 for him and sold him for 30?
I also thought Sulemana is our record signing. Hes been terrible. |  | | |

Rory Delap has to be challenging, or does his long throws edge him out??!! [Post edited 30 Jul 13:15]

Some very questionable valuations at best.
I know the quoted figures are in Euros, but even with a generous exchange rate :
Tino was definitely about £5m with a hefty sell on clause.
Ings was about £18m
Mane was about £10-12m
Lavia was a similar price to Mane
How was Camp Bestival ? We were looking to go, but the dates didn't work for us. |  |

You are right with your info here, transfermarkt are usually quite accurate but they have got the Livramento & Ings fees wrong here
They value Livramento at around £5 million when he joined Saints and that is what we paid, Ings was £20 million which in fairness given transfermarkt say we bought him for 25 million euros considering the exchange rate probably isnt that much over the £20 million in GBP |  |

Not sure about Rory Delap he cost £4 million, and had 4 1/2 years at the club starting 118 games plus 14 as sub in the League plus a few cup games, in 2003 he played a big part in our season when we finished 8th and reached the FA Cup final.
He got injured in the quarter final and would play only 3 times more that season including a cameo as sub in the FA Cup semi final, but the ankle injury flared up again and he missed the final
A player who played that number of games before leaving can hardly be described as a poor signing given the first 3 seasons we had until relegation in the 4th | |

And Harry Redknapp never realised he had a long throw.
Says it all about that useless arsehole (Redknapp that is…..) | |

It wasn't that he was a poor signing per se, it was more that he was embarrassingly average to be our record signing for many years. |  |
| I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it. |

True that, I just put him on the list as I expected more excitement for £4 mill which was huge at that time but yeah over a long contract worked out ok I suppose.
But sticking with my choice of Osvaldo at number 1.
at least with Carillo he did play a part in scoring one crucial goal which was the difference between staying up and relegation and he didn't kick any of his teammates in the head.
Rory Delap , Rory Delap sometimes he's good but mostly he's cr@p. | | | |
