Expensive player

**Leith's finest** · 23-01-2017 01:25 PM

Who is the most expensive player that you have seen playing against the hibees? Not what you think should be the most, but actual transfer cost. T A Flo from the old rangers club is the most expensive i can think off

***JimBHibees*** · 23-01-2017 01:27 PM

Alan Shearer probably

Dani Alves cost Barca £23m and played against Hibs at Murrayfield.

Yaya Toure played for Barcelona in the 2008 friendly. He was quite pricey.

How much did Man Utd pay for Rooney?

He played at ER as a teenager for Everton.

Has to have been someone from the Barcelona team that day.

Henry, Dani Alves, Pedro, Eto'o and Toure have all been transferred for a pretty penny I think, although the obvious most valuable player to have ever played against Hibs is Messi by a country mile.

Good shout, think it was £30m. Pires and Vieira played in Murrays testimonial but I don't think either of them ever actually cost that much at any point in their careers, although they would have been valued highly at the peak of their powers.

Rooney was £25m so could well be him that has gone on to have the highest transfer fee. Seems like Dani Alves had the highest transfer fee at the point of us playing against them.

I know Messi, Rooney etc went/or value for mega£ or €, was meaning after they got their high transfer to play against us

***Craig_HFC*** · 23-01-2017 01:39 PM

Was Nicolas Anelka with Bolton when we played them?

***hibees 7062*** · 23-01-2017 01:41 PM

Andrew Driver , oh wait

Strangely enough no transfer fee has ever been paid for Messi, his current market value is £102M, but I would imagine that is now inflated with the Chinese league starting to throw around silly money.
Of the ones you mention, Henry went to Barca for £38M, Alves £17M, Pedro (Barca youth so £0M), Eto'o £22M, Toure £7.65M

I remember seeing nick Barmby years ago on in a preseason for Everton, could have been his debut. He cost a few quid back in the day. 5million plus iirc. Would be a lot more in today's money.

**~~2016 Delivered~~** · 23-01-2017 04:25 PM

Robbie Keane. £91m in total.

Sure that wasn't for Middlesboro? I remember him playing against us in a friendly for 'Boro just after he'd signed for them. Mendietta was in that team as well I think.

Messi allegedly has a €500m buy out clause..so I would assume that he would be the most. However, and I know he didn't play against us, but surely the combined fees that Steven Fletcher has generated must put him up close to the top of any expensive list of players to have been involved in a Hibs game?

Duncan Disorderly might get close. Has to be one of the Barca players from the Murrayfield game. My money is alos on the combined value of the Hearts double winning squad from 86

When?

Keane is most accumulated Rooney is most.

**HoboHarry** · 23-01-2017 07:30 PM

Not a player but could be Vlad - what is the reward out for his capture?

Could well have been mate. Seem to remember playing Everton at some point though, round about the same time, or am I making that up?

**heretoday** · 23-01-2017 09:01 PM

Colin Stein after we sold him to Rangers!

***Greencore*** · 23-01-2017 09:11 PM

Craig Thomson.

~£24m to Man City?

***Bayern Bru*** · 24-01-2017 07:21 PM

From that Barcelona team (in euros I'm afraid)

Dani Alves €29m (although there's a suggestion it was closer to €35m)
Henry - €24m
Eto'o - €24m
Martin Caceres - €16.5m
Hleb - €15m
Keita - €14m
Yaya Toure - €10m
