Really?! Never knew it was anywhere near that figure.

He didn't suit Jackett's direct style so was moved on. Trouble was we never truly sorted the midfield until Richie arrived
The only Midfielder we had who was different.
No wonder Jackett got sacked.
Dropping a player for being to small & then a League 1 club offers bundles of cash .
Well thing was he had a bunch of not good enough CMs and Pratley who was trying to hold it together on his own. None of the others were worth anything so selling one made sense. Unfortunately the recruitment in that January was awful and made the problem worse, the rest is history
Craig Clay our 2 title winning midfielder wasn't worth anything ? That's Harsh.

Given we released him on a free to Sutton and no-one tried to to buy in between yes, harsh but true. Reality is we wouldn't have won L2 if El Miz hadn't been primarily in the CDM role.

That's what I remember him being introduced as though hasn't really nailed down any particular spot as yet
Galbraith is an 8 at best.

I don’t really remember much about kemp other than him being a nice, wishy washy player without much bite, something we had a lot of at the time.

He won 2 titles. More than valuable. Totally different midfielder to Idris.

Squad filler who we had to overly rely on because of problems recruiting CMs over a prolonged period. Agreed, there's no comparison to El Miz.
