£250k our club have spent in the last 10 years? And can you think of other top players we have acquired from another club, for a similar amount of cash?

I think the lad is easily worth £1m already! ;)

Whitts, Johnson and Loovens cost similar money and they were all great players for us but for me the best value for money player we signed was Paul Parry. £75k an absolute bargain.

When you consider his age Joe Mason has been an absolute steal at £250k and to get 10 goals in his first season in the Championship speaks volumes about the future that liesahead for this lad. I hope it is with us.

a great acquisition and he will do very well for us :ayatollah:

Roger Johnsosn probably the best money spent so far (and it was Martinez who spotted him and we just managed to get him to come to us when we got wind of it, so not down to old 'moans's' scouting).

Mason may yet prove to be better :ayatollah:
