    Anyway, back to the important point of this thread.

    I've used, and have heard others use, the expression "cheap at half the price" as a term meant to imply a false bargain. As in 'it would have been cheap at half the price (but unfortunately it wasn't, therefore isn't)'.

    This implies to me the OP think's Rod was ripped off in this deal.

    Highly unlikely!

    According to the local rag in Sunderland, we paid LESS THAN 10% of the £2m Sunderland paid for him.
    Steve 'Baw Heid' Bruce just wanted him off the wage bill.
    Add a nice signing on fee from Hibs (to offset drastically reduced wages), and it will probably be in the region of £400k.

    Link to rag is somewhere on the Bounce if anyone is interested.

    Now that I can believe!

    Who cares about the price ? We got him and that's all that matters.

    Fee = £200K
    Signing on fee = £200K
    £6K per week for one year = £300K

    Total outgoings = £700K

    This time next year Rodders will have sold him back to England for £2 million netting us a profit of £1.3 million.

    Well done Rod. Edinburgh's answer to the Cash Generator.

    I hope Stokes scores as well as he talks.

    So far all he's done is opine to the press about Hughes going to England and his boyhood love for Celtic.

    Mind you the guy on Celtc forum the other day who said he was in the club shop & they were ironing Nish ( the name that is ) on to the back of a hooped top was a classic! Why do people make this !!!! up?
    Story was more than likely true. Just a punter called Nish wanting his own name on the shirt....and so the rumour starts.
