Rush was most expensive teenage transfer ever at the time? (worth every penny mind)Ian Rush & Steve Nicol cost us £300,000 each around the time when £1m pound transfers were coming into play.

Sami Hyypia is another one we can put on the list. We only paid £2.6m for him just a few years prior to United paying £30m for Rio. 10 years great service & the PL was the only major trophy he never won.You'd be hard pushed to find a better modern day bargain than Andy Robertson for £8m from Hull. Even most of us Liverpool fans were confused by that signing as we wanted an upgrade on Moreno and I certainly didn't think that Robertson was it.
Yeah that's true. Certainly got our money's worth though.Rush was most expensive teenage transfer ever at the time? (worth every penny mind)
Kolo Toure was a nice bit of business tooNic Anelka wasn't bad. We got two good seasons and a bunch of cash out of the pillock. He later admitted that he never should have left Arsenal.
Think he cost 300 grand and went for summat like 26 million
Had a short spell on loan with us & was absolute class. The fans loved him. Houllier had the option to buy him but for reasons only known to him he declined the option. Must have been a French thing.Nic Anelka wasn't bad. We got two good seasons and a bunch of cash out of the pillock. He later admitted that he never should have left Arsenal.

True, Him and Xabi are probably two Liverpool players I absolutely love to watch.You'd be hard pushed to find a better modern day bargain than Andy Robertson for £8m from Hull. Even most of us Liverpool fans were confused by that signing as we wanted an upgrade on Moreno and I certainly didn't think that Robertson was it.
They have to be near the top of the listBig Pete, Irwin and Cantona.
A Ballon D'Or winner for 12m, Ronaldo is the one for me. And we spent 30m around for Rio n Rooney, both great for us but the biggest bargain is Ronaldo.
CristianoIn 1997? that would be 22M now, peanuts.
We paid a top dollar for him. £12 M for a unproven Portuguese teenager was not cheap at all at the time. Yes, he turned out to be one of the greatest but still not cheap. The club put a lot effort to raise him and make a 100 million super star. It took yearsI think for many utd fans the most likely names would be Evra and Vidic.
Edit: na it's gotta be Ronaldo.
Ah okCristiano
Top player, best spell of his career was with us. ExcellentNic Anelka wasn't bad. We got two good seasons and a bunch of cash out of the pillock. He later admitted that he never should have left Arsenal.

Cech was arguably the biggest goalkeeping talent in the world that was sold for a club-record fee. The rest are great shouts.First ones that come to mind, remembering how important they became for their respective clubs:
Kante to Leicester at £5.6 m.
Kompany to city at £6 m
Cech to Chelsea at £7 m
RVP to Arsenal at £2.75 m
Hyypia to Liverpool at £2.6 m
Schmeichel to United at £500K
Internationally:
Del Piero to Juve
Nedved to Lazio
Lewandowski to Dortmund
Marcelo to Real
Can you imagine how.much they would cost now?Park Ji Sung £4m
Van Der Sar £4m
Evra £5m
Vidic £7m
Pivotal part of many titles and cost nothing.
Anelka?Sol for Free
fecking priceless.
