This must be gospel...

..from football rumours

Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby has been in talks with Nottingham Forest and Birmingham City. Birmingham has put in a offer of 7 million while Forest are willing to spend 11 million after recieving 20 million pounds to spend from their owners

Is this the start of a summer of us being linked with every Tom, Dick and 'Abou?

 

[Caly in our Alley]

Is this officially the most ridiculous rumour ever?

And why would Brummie pound be worth significantly more than a Notts pound? :wacko:

 

[jasons-pineapple]

Absolutely Priceless

 

[andover red]

I know that Arsenal's fortunes are waning but I'm not sure we're ready to take their players just yet

Capello can you confirm!! :wink:

Have any Championship club ever paid £11m for a player?

I don't mean a club relegated with expensive players, I mean a club in this tier buying someone for that money?

What is the record fee paid by a Championship club?

 

[Ravi]

I think it makes good sense for a team to have one player earning 10x the wages of every other player in the team. Gives them something to aspire to.. :dry:

Why am I tempted to say one of David Platt's buys must be near the top of this list?

I wondered about James Beattie when Sheffield Undead bought him, was that about 4 million?

 

[Northern Monkey]

On 4 August 2007, Beattie officially signed for Sheffield United in a deal worth £4 million, potentially rising to £4.5 million.

Would certainly be my guess.

didnt we buy van hooijdonk for 4.5 million?

Yes but we were in the Prem at the time
