I know you shouldn't post when you've had a few but
Have we actually paid a fee for any of our team/squad that are still on top of the league ??
I can't think of anyone, how good are we ?
Our cousins down the round have spent around £30.000.000 this year !!! And we'll be playing 'em next year if all goes to plan
Good times

We paid a fee for Lucas but not that much. Whilst Stuart Beavon joined having been released by Preston whilst on loan to us I think most of the Billy Kee fee funded that one.

Good question. Have the Albion ever paid a fee for a player ? I'm not convinced they have?

We paid 20,000 for Russell Penn and Billy Kee and if I remember correctly 17,000 for Christian Moore. In earlier days when Sam Brassington was chairman we paid fee's for several players, Alan Kurilla, Jimmy Skelding from Bromsgrove and Jon Pearson and another lad who's name escapes me from Kidderminster, there are a few others from that era too. Going back further we bought Terry Spinner from Walsall although I think it was actually a mysterious benefactor who paid the fee.

Thanks terraceman I think you may be right there. I was telling a Derby fan friend we had never bought a player and was looking forward to next seasons game against the £25 mil squad at Derby

Robbie Jones was the player who signed with Jon Pearson from Kiddy in a joint £20k deal. Steve Cotterill signed from Alvechurch for £4k in 1988 and was a club record deal at the time. How times change!
Nigel also paid a nominal fee for Andy Corbett in 2003.
Thing is. These days what clubs save on transfer fees more often than not ends up spent on signing on fees for the player.

Lee Ayres from Tamworth, Akins also was a fee (thanks CBH1). I agree though there are not many. I was thinking though, if we did hi up to the Championship, some of our signings would be eye watering for us, or maybe not...

Lee 'sick note' Ayres! Think we paid around £7.5k for him.
Also Blount and Marsden from Greesley cost a fee via tribunal. Gresley went rather unprepared and we got them for a much lower fee than they expected.
Can't recall if we paid fees for Garner and David Holmes. I know we sold Holmes to Gloucester for a decent fee but not sure if we paid for him initially.

Going back further we bought Terry Spinner from Walsall although I think it was actually a mysterious benefactor who paid the fee. The players we signed when Sam Brassington was chairman were funded by the sale of Darren Carr to Crystal Palace c1989 for c£60K. Darren Carr rejoined us about 18 months later on a free, then seemed to disappear from the radar. I seem to remember the players you mentioned who we paid fees for had mixed successes with the Brewers, although at the time we didn't get promoted to the promised land of the Conference.

A fee was paid for Greg Pearson as well if my memory is correct.
We got the goal scoring god Daryl Clare for free but paid for Gregory... football is indeed a strange world

Another player we paid a fee for was David Rennie if my memory serves me right. About £2k?

I don't think I can stomach much more of this.

I can remember back in the late 60s we seemed to be breaking club records for transfer fees every other week! Oh how I miss the good old days ha ha ha

We paid a fee for Peter Ward, which, IIRC, was provided, at least in part, by a supporters collection.
