A few weeks ago we asked you the fans to come up with some suggestions for your club's best-ever buy. Well we've gone over the hundreds of selections and shortened them to a list of ten - and now it’s your turn! The ten most referenced buys are listed to the right in a fascinating poll for you to vote on. We are looking for football's best-ever buy so the list is constructed of players who have worked wonders for their respective sides - and especially those who turned out to be a bargain at half the price. Look at the list make your selection - and why not post a comment giving the reasons for your choice? You are also free to click on 'Other' and then post a new suggestion who you feel is more deserving than the ten already chosen by the general public. Good luck!Click on the poll to the right and post your comment below with reasons for your selection.
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!
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!
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!!!!!!!!!!

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
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.

NOTjoey[/quote]Didn't the tims buy Raphael Scheidt for about 6 million around the same time? 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!
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?
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.

ROON YE!
[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!
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.

[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.
