Who were are the worst player sales in CCFC histroy? When did we get ripped off?
Nathan Blake
£300k . Should have been £500k but Sheffield United got themselves and so we lost 200
Ross McCormack
Wasn't it just £300k we got for him?
Got to be Rambo 5 million ppffftttt
Gestede sold to Blackburn for was it £250k they sold on for £7m with no sell on clause!
Ok, I'll say it - Bale's sell-on clause.
we are terrible for not insisting on sell on clauses.
have we ever made any money from one?
They only paid 4.8m cos we agreed to a lower figure if paid in one goQuote:

Certainly Toshack. One sale that I thought didn't make sense was Tony Evans
Tony Evans was one of my favourite City players. He was with us for 4 seasons, and in the first two he was great but then missed most of his third season through injury and was never the same after that. He only scored seven goals in his final season with us and we got £125,000 for him which i thought was good. However he came back and scored two for Birmingham in the second or third game the following season! I think it was good money for him at the time and he played for Birmingham, Wolves, Palace and Swindon after us and never really did as well as he did at Cardiff.Quote:

Nathan Blake was a stupid sale, as someone said above we got £300k and a further £200k if Sheff Utd stayed up- they didn't. A year later he went for over a million.
Selling Leighton Phillips got us relegated in 74/5.
Selling people like Andy Dibble, Gary Bennett and other in the eighties and replacing them with poor free transfers kept us down in the lower leagues for years.
Aside from Steve McLean to Plymouth for £500k, Joe Mason to Wolves for £3m, Simon Goalkeeper bloke to Sheffield Utd for £500k (all of which were GREAT deals for us!), pretty much everyone.Quote:

:hehe: Has to be the most bizarre deal ever.Quote:
