But it wasa british record at the time so the equivalent of £110 million now. So Fernandes is a bargain!!!!

I don’t think those equivalents track personally, inflation is a fair point, but the game was very different then and Keane was an obvious generational talent.

I was being somewhat tongue in cheek but there is a serious point that anything between £60 and £90 million is serious but not surprising money these days (ridiculous though it is).

£3.5 million would inflate to about £10 million these days (rough google estimate) and you wouldn't expect Anderson or Haaland or Rice to being going in that ball park. The 80% equivalent of the record back then got you Brian Deane, David Batty or Paul Warhurst. We paid over £2 million for Razor Ruddock. All proven quality premiership players but doubt any of them would be going for £85 million in todays market at their prime.

Loved Razor in a Spurs shirt

Interestingly, Roy Keane when bought by Man Utd/SAF for the record fee at the time, had just been relegated with Nottingham Forest...
