Could we not pay the fee to Ipswich in installments over three years with concern regarding el miz's recovery this season. I'm sure he'd prefer playing as os captain rather than spending the majority of his time benched at a tier two club. A tricky one of many opinions you can pay transfer fees over the period of the contract if they are within this country. If you buy from abroad its usually a shorter period. |

Fee for Sotirou will have been multiples of £50k. The club would have got significantly more from the compensation panel. If that was the case, then wonder why the club did not choose to go to the compensation panel route ? The compensation panel use a formula, the club will know the approximate figure. BR probably offered close to the value, which I would presume around 150-250k, with a sell on clause |

Football transfer fee deals are kept very secretive nowadays. Remember well from when I was a kid about Bill Nicholson bringing back Jimmy Greaves to England from Italy when they paid £99,999 to bring him to Tottenham. Bill was determined not to add to the pressure on Jimmy by making him the first £100,000 player and Jimmy started the repayment with a hat-trick on his Spurs debut against Blackpool, what a player he was !!
Frightening to think what sort of money a club would have to fork out for a player like Greaves nowadays. The fee would be astronomical! Did you ever watch Greaves play live at a match ? I did many times !! You see my brothers friend was a Spurs supporter and took me and his kid brother to watch them in Jimmy's first season at Spurs, Greaves was amazing, but come January my dad then decided to start taking me to watch the Os, it was the season they gained promotion to the first division, very exiting but as a kid, I must admit I preferred watching that fabulous Spurs team play with Greaves becoming my first football hero.He missed three months at the start of the 1965–66 season after being diagnosed with hepatitis and was never the same player afterwards, losing that electric pace and had to adapt his game. That showed in the 1966 world cup where Jimmy was a shadow of the player he had been before his illness.

I saw greaves play for Chelsea against Bilbao long before the multitude of European games, this was a friendly.
From memory he was a teenager, and I will never forget the goal he scored.
A hard hit long ball through the middle saw him latch on to it and he beat several defenders by letting the ball run and just swerving eventually rounding the goalkeeper and put it into the net.
A fabulous player who I saw many times.

A years supply of donuts clinched the moncur transfer,why not el miz. Before my first os game in 1968,we all went to spurs and stood behind the goal front row by the wall.
Greaves was so good to us kids,he often looked at us and poked his tongue out and such like.and wonderful goals he scored like kitchen in our cup game at Chelsea 1978.

He was as slim as a pencil back then. The only other player of that era who had a similar impact on me was the wonderful George Best before fame, booze and birds turned his head.

When I was at school if someone scored a real belter they say “ that’s a Bobby Charlton”.
If a player scored a wonder goal we say “ that was a Jimmy Greaves goal”
Then I started to hold my sleeve cuff as I played pretending to be Dennis Law
When school kids pretend they are a certain player you know the player is the best.

In answer to your question - yes I was lucky enough to see Jimmy play on a number of occasions- including at the O’s!👍 |

In answer to your question - yes I was lucky enough to see Jimmy play on a number of occasions- including at the O’s!👍 October 27, 1962 Leyton Orient 1 - 5 Tottenham Yes as I recall Spurs gave us a real going over in that game. Amazing the information you can find on the internet. According to this mass of information via the link below, Les Allen scored in the 21st minute and Norman Dealey equalised in the 25th minute. Own goal from Sid Bishop in the 35th minute, after that it was all downhill. For once, Jimmy did not score in that game. My memories of that game, well I remembered the score but not much else other than it was all too easy for Spurs. www.footballdatabase.eu/en/match/overview/135602-leyton_orient-tottenham |

I was also at the Spurs game and the only thing I remembered is that we lost 5-1 and that Jimmy Greaves did not score, in fact I think he had a quiet game, but the other Spurs forwards did their bit !! |

From memory that run took us up to 12th place. Our highest ever position in the pyramid. All down hill from there, but a season I really enjoyed. we beat Liverpool at home 2-1 at the end of the season. Some big wins amongst many losses. |

Why can we not afford the reported £350,000?
Because we're as poor as two sh1thouse spiders
