can we at least have some fresh ideas sportingo? or is that beyond you?

for me its kolo toure wat a bargain. so consistent over the years

Kevin Doyle £70k and Im not even a Reading fan.

Henrik Larson for the mhanky mob has to go down as one of the greatest buys of all time, shame about the £1M pay off to stay an extra year at the end.

i cannot make my mind up between Ralph Milne ,Eric DJEMBA DJEMBA OR Taibi THERE has been so many MISTAKES i mean BARGAINS that SIR ALEX could NOT TURN DOWN, OH BEFORE I FORGET david bellion

£4 Million - Marlon Harewood to Aston Villa.

[quote]can we at least have some fresh ideas sportingo? or is that beyond you?[/quote]Did you read the first paragraph, the idea was the voting was always going to be made into a poll, i will vote for Jimmy Greaves!

Just bcos spurs arent having a good season and these players arent playing so well doesnt mean that they should not be considered!!! Robbo - A bargain from leeds at what 2mil? Lennon - Another bargain from leads and a world class winger in the making again around 2 mill? Robbie Keane! - 7mill at teh time seemed a fair price but looking backl what a bargain!! Keano is the greatest 2nd top scorer with the team thats 16th! And one for the future Gareth Bale- 5mil now 5 mil l8r ok 10 mil is alot but this guy is sh*t hot absolute wonder kid any team in the country would love him and welcome him with open arms!

£12m to anywhere will be the best transfer ever!!

chris samba £400,000 or ryan nelsen for freeeeee and as for barry scott cilit bang be gone with u if u dont like stay away

He may be a legend at Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs or Manchester United - or perhaps he plays for "less successful" clubs Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, Celtic, Rangers, Manchester City, West Ham or Blackburn. We want YOUR final choice.

I'd have to say Toure for 150k in the current transfer market is about as good as you can get. I'd say Cesc equalls that but he wsnt paid for so he wasnt really a buy, more of a find. Samba and Nelson would be up their, as would Cahill but actually on second thoughts it wpuld have to be Darren Bent!

Has to be Nicolas Anelka - bought by arsene Wenger for 500,000 and sold less than thirty months later for 22.3 million. In between he helped Arsenal win The Double

for me it's Viera. He was instrumental to their success and was less than a million.

The claim that Aaron Lennon is a world class winger is probably the funniest thing i have ever heard in my life, however i do agree he was a bit of a bargain, but he does not come anywhere near world class. 2 mill for Robbo is a bargain for the good years he had at you, but look at him now! Keane is a fantastic player but 7mill is not a bargain for him & Gareth Bale definitely shows alot fo potentially and is a great player for his age but 10mill is hardly a bargain for him and can barely be justified as even a fair price. As long as he stays fit though I think he will fufill his £10mill price tag. You Spurs fans are SO-BLOODY-DELIRIOUS its untrue!!!!!!!!!!

Paul Mcgrath. Man Utd to Villa. Thanks Alex.

It has to be Henrik Larsson for the Bhoys,what a bargain,the Huns must have been glad to see the back of him.

David Weir

If this is the best ever bought worldwide then it has to be Maradona for Napoli. They were a half decent team but he made them into Italian and european champions.

There is not another Club in the world more successful than Rangers. Check your facts.

Clattenburg cost us nothing and gas got us more points than stevie g

[quote]There is not another Club in the world more successful than Rangers. Check your facts.[/quote] Big teams win big cups.... and rangers have not won the big one, the cup they won is now extinct..he he, ps tore andre FLOp must go down as a great 12million buy....NOT joey

Agree with Paul McGrath to Villa and just about every Arsene Wenger signing (apart from franny Jeffers), but can't believe no ones mentioned Cantona or Schmeichel! Man Utd wouldn't be the team they are today without them.

Vieira wasn't under a million? he cost £3.5 from Milan although that's still great business. Cantona @ £1m from Leeds, Anelka @ £500k just for the profit the scum made on him, but as a Spurs fan it has to be Jimmy Greaves @ £99,999 from Milan

Bennis Bergkamp. 10 times the player Larsson ever was

michael mifsud coventry... scored two away goals against man utd at old trafford and top scorer for coventry at the league...

Brad Friedal Years of consistantly brilliant goal keeping all for free!! Since he arrived at Ewood, a promotion to the Premiership, a trophy (Worthington Cup 2002) and 4 visits to Europe in 8 years. Consistantly amongst the Premierships top keepers

Really hate to say it but Henrik Larrson has got to be the best buy ever and as a Rangers fan it shows how much quality the boy had for us to think he has possibley been the greatest player to play in the Scottish premier League

How can it be anyone other than Eric Cantona. £1m transformed ManU into what they are now and led the way for all the others. I am a Spurs fan and hoped I could say Darren Bent but for now it hasn't happened like I would have hoped.

Henrik Larsson. Not only was he exemplary on the park and off it, he's a blinding golfer too! Proved, if he actually needed to, how good he was when he went to Barca and excelled. Last season Sir Alex Ferguson showed his respect for the greatest player to bless these islands by signing him to get through the bumpy injury ride. Again, the wee man excelled and you can only sit, laugh and point at those who missed out on seeing him at the top of his game. Regarding Bergkamp, as great as he was, he couldn't lace Henrik's boots. Especially considering Henrik cost Celtic £600k, the only one who came close to being a bargain of this magnitude was Cantona. (And I am no Manchester United fan!)

I think Wengers buy and then sell on of Anelka at an extraordinary profit was a stunning bit of business but overall - Larsson - who was bought for less tnan a million. He more or less can claim sole responsibility for at least 2 of Celtics titles, maybe even 3.Celtic were elevated into a pretty damn good team due to him.

but frankly they are and always have been a bunch of coonts, every single one of them. We bought a Caravan once from a car boot coz we are all pikeys at heart, good deal. Tarmac, 100 yards of tarmac I bought once, now that was a bargin.

The Great Dane was responsible for saving Manchester United around 12 points per season on average more than any other keeper. Simply the best and bought for peanuts.

Shearer - £3.5m.Won Championship. Sold - near £17m with interest payments. Even after wages the best ever Prem player cost far less than nothing. Go figure!

I thought he was a good piece of business. Right up there with the recent triple swoop for Gravesen, Jar-o-sick and Vinegar of Castlemilk. Flo was a bargain compared to those business dealings.

Everyone bangs on about how Wenger is the shrewdest manager around and never makes any mistakes and as hard it is for a Tottenham fan to admit it's true, great signings like Jeffers @ $10m, remember David Seamans replacement Rami Shaaban? Then there was the man known as the Horse Oleg Luzhnyi, a horse alright! Boa Morte, Tavlaridis, Vivas, Malz, Christopher Wreh, and even Senderos after all these years still looks a great player. The man just doesn't make mistakes!

For the best buys you don't need to look beyond the current Spurs team. Back to front we've got the best signings anyone's ever made for any team ever. Our team is so great. And we're the most successful and biggest team in the country too. End of story!

It has to be eric cantona going to man utd! he was a catalyst for their success.

this question for me is about price, ability and how far the players have come along since their transfer. toure is a great shout. lennon went for a small fee from leeds and despite not being a world beater yet he is a premiership standard player. cantona at 1m was a steal. cahill and arteta should be in the mix as well, especially in modern times. cahill cost 2m, arteta 2.2m, how much are they worth now?

cristiano ronaldo

Tim Cahill from Millwall to Everton. A bargain buy.

Ronaldo is a GREAT player but can anyone that cost £12m at the age of 17 be described as the bargain of all time?

Dixie Dean from Tranmere. Recent times, Anelka 500k to Arsenal, and Larson was a good shout.. absolute goal scoring legend

Larsson.

Walcott at what will rise to over £12... great business when Lennon cost us 750k

it has to be the king ,the greatest buy ever

WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST BUY OF ALL TIME, THE KING OF KINGS, HENRIK LARSSON

Best buy EVER? Thats a long time. And the nominees? ZOLA?? BERGKAMP??? CANTONA??? DI CANIO??? LARSSON?? KEVIN FUCKING PHILLIPS???? Did Kanwar write this article as well?!?! Can we have at least one half decent article on this god foresaken site? Greaves, Dalglish, Maradona, those sort of players. Please lets have some half decent suggestion. Kolo Toure, good grief.

You're an idoit. Don't like..don't read it then. People are putting in their opinions across, regardless of what yours is! Kevin Phillips to Sunderland 500k was a great return...baring in mind he scored 65 league goals in the 2 seasons after that, is still the only englishman to win the European Golden Boot and also one of the few to score 30 goals in the prem. That IS a great buy. Maybe YOU should start talking some sense...fool.

No not a 'great' buy, it was a good buy. These are all 'good' buys. Hyypia, Finnan, Riise, McCallister, Hamann, Henchoz etc. etc. all 'good' buys. Henry. Good buy. Vieira. Good buy. Pires, Ljungberg etc. etc. You need to be able to differentiate between good and great. Great buys would be bargains that delivered all over the place. Kevin Phillips? Has he ever won a single trophy? Phil Neal,signed from Northampton for buttons. Won 50 England caps, 7 League Championships and 4 European Cups. Kenny Dalglish, widely regarded as the 2nd if not best British player ever. Alan Hansen. Graeme Souness. All players from one club from one decade. GREAT signings. Now can we have a tiny bit of sense and stop making absolutely ridiculous statements like Kevin Phillips.

PAUL MCGRATH FOR VILLA

HAS TO BE PAUL McGRATH FOR ASTON VILLA, DODGY KNEES, HE PLAYED BETTER PI**ED UP THAN WHEN HE WAS SOBER, HE CREATED ENOUGH SPACE AND TIME TO HAVE A FAG AND A SIP OF WHISKY, VILLA FANS LOVED HIM THEN AND THEY STILL DO.

CERTAINLY KING KOLO TOURE.JUZ 150 000.WHAT A BARGAIN.

That the player who graced the Blue jersey of the quintessential Glasgow Rangers - Bob Malcolm - gets my vote. WATP

[quote]Bennis Bergkamp. 10 times the player Larsson ever was[/quote] Larsson cost £650,000. Bergkamp was over £7M. Even at 10 times, Henke was a better purchase. Once again, Hunothy shoots himself in the foot.

tore andre flo £12 mil to the orcs haha worst ever or prodan £4mil didnt even kick a ball then left on a free haha

young from watford to villa £9,000,000 plus add on's !! the next player of the year!!

Barry Feguson! Cant believe hes not up there!! Gets a 9 every week in the papers! Obviously timmothy made up this poll. WATP

[quote]He may be a legend at Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs or Manchester United - or perhaps he plays for "less successful" clubs Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, Celtic, Rangers, Manchester City, West Ham or Blackburn.

ROON YE!

When God makes footballers he bestows special gifts to some of them. With The King of Kings he made the ultimate footballer and guided him towards Celtic Park. Hail Hail To The King of Kings

Would of said seeeebbbooooooo but i thought honesty was the best policy

quite simply the king of kings.

Bought for 3.5million, scores 30 goals three seasons running and sold for 15million. There's only one Alan Shearer.

Henrik Larson. The one and only KING of KINGS

Henrik Larson

The best buy ever. £65000 what a buy.

Di Canio

[quote]Barry Feguson! Cant believe hes not up there!! Gets a 9 every week in the papers! Obviously timmothy made up this poll. WATP[/quote]Gets a 9 in the Daily Record and thats about it Good player but not a 9 P.S. Which singing when ye bought him ,sold him or bought him back.

your stars represent league titles not , as ours does, a european cup and as you were formed 15 years before us that's not exactly something to be shouting about now is it? the star on the shirt should represent european cups won, as it does by almost al The stars above the badge was started by Juventus after they won their 10th serie A title but hey don't let facts get in the way of your thinking.I blame the schools.

Em, Id take 1 star over 100 stars!!! To show that your club has triumphed Europe is a major honour. To advertise that you have won over 50 Scottish League titles is an embarrassment.... and to boast about it, even worse...... Henk Larsson, Golden boot winner, greatest buy. King of Kings. Greatest SPL player ever. Fact. 5 stars lol, it actually makes me laugh when you say it so please, dont stop!

Definitely shevchenko for 30m, what a great buy for chelsea

Best buy ever

WENGER KNOWS and he nevr makes mistakes.If a player he buys does not click,then its due to the players attitude to work,or he is waiting for his time to GEL! buck off SPUDS!

you guys forgot about henry!! yes he cost 10 mil but aint the best player the premierships ever had.

Taking into consideration, his price when we bought him, 650k and his contribution over those incredible 7 years at Celtic, that makes him best bargain ever...but not to be outdone, Barcelona get him for FREE and it was the King that won the CL Cup for Barcelona when he came on against Arsenal and set up both goals...but that's not done, he then goes to Helsingborg for FREE and maintains his incredible goal scoring record, also goes to Man Utd for peanuts (or was it FREE?) and helped them through a bad patch. Larsson was also magnificent at National level too, not that money is involved there. The perfect footballer and model professional, Henrik Larsson.

Says it all... Brilliant!!

no surprises here i agree with about 35-40% of the folks that have posted, it's got to be hernrik for value for money, goals return and so,so much more. thanks for the memories henke!

without doubt Henrik Larsson!

No matter the price. The one team that got him has made the best buy ever.

The god that is Berbatov for 10.9m - phenominal player - lets hope we can hang onto him!

henke was the complete footballer.

has to be kaka 7 mil

Hi guys still bloody hot down here, Davie Cooper says hello by the way. Sebo was some signing, dont think we`ll see his likes again sadly... WATP ASBO G.I. JOE RSVP B&Q

Herik Larsson £650,000, steal of any century

Hypia Risse Finnan... YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE

Tore Andre Flo to Rangers from Chelsea - £12.5m

carlos tevez. And i dont mean the big move to man u... i mean west ham. Corinthians to west ham...World class aplyer bargain

For £500k it has to be Ally McCoist from Sunderland to Rangers - Super Ally scored 355 goals for us!!! Beat that! Larsson doesn't have a sniff...

Cahill - 1.5m Arteta - 2m Davy Weir -400k Pineear (In Jan)-2m Neville Southall -150k Whole 1986/7 league winners side cost - 1.7m

[quote]carlos tevez. And i dont mean the big move to man u... i mean west ham. Corinthians to west ham...World class aplyer bargain[/quote] He is so overated like berbatov

[quote]For £500k it has to be Ally McCoist from Sunderland to Rangers - Super Ally scored 355 goals for us!!! Beat that! Larsson doesn't have a sniff...[/quote] McCoist scored 355 goals over a 15 year period for Rangers, Larsson scored 242 in 7 years and also remains the UEFA cup's highest ever goal scorer...so I think you'll find that it's Ally who "doesn't have a sniff"

Lets be honest here when we say stefan klos was an outstanding goalkeeper, as instrumental to rangers as larrson was to celtic. and at 700 thousand pounds he has to be up there...... also andy goram who went on to be one of the best goalkeepers ever but i go with stefan klos as being the best bargain considering he had just won the champions league a couple of years b4 rangers landed him. along with larsson who was bought at round about the same price i would say both were unbelievable buys.

Firsty I'm a Celtic fan. And the best manager has got to be Sir Alex Ferguson by far he is the best! The best buy from Celtic is obviously Henrik Larrson , Scott McDonald Or Artur Boruc soo c'mon , stop arguying over nothing!

1. Henrik Larsson, Feynoord to Celtic, £650,000. Closely followed by Henrik Larsson, from Celtic to Barcelona, free agent. Closely followed by Henrik Larsson, Barcelona to Helsingborgs, free agent. Closely followed by Henrik Larsson, Helsingborgs to Manchester Utd, loan. Closely followed by Dennis Bergkamp, Inter Milan to Arsenal, £7.5 million. Says it all, really.
