a1canary 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Seeing his (reported) crazy money transfer to Sheff Utd set to go through got me thinking. Exactly how much has been splashed out on this guy in his career? Quick bit of research courtesy of ex-canaries.co.uk reveals the answer, which has to be some kind of record for a div 1 player (goal free spell in Prem with Leicester notwithstanding) : £m0.25 NCFC to Gillingham1.2 Gills to Bristol City3.5 City to Wolves5 Wolves to Leicester2.2 Leicester to PalaceFree? Palace to Stoke0.6 Stoke to Burnley1.75 Clarets to Sheff UtdTOTAL - £14.5mWhat would the reaction on here have been if NW spent 1.75m of the Deano money on him?!!

MadDan 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Once we have Peter Taylor on board we may well sign Akinbiyi - mind you he would insist on paying around double that fee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzathegreat 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Although it''s not totally relevant to his footballing career, I read last year in a Sunday supplement that Akinbiyi has made a fortune out of property developingKind of makes sense, the amount of moving he does..............

NottsCanary 0 Posted January 26, 2006 I don''t think he will be used in the Premiership. He has scored alot of goals for Burnley so far this year and if he repeats this for Sheffield United then it will fire them into the Premiership and I''m sure that''s worth alot more than 1.75 mil.
