Top 5 Bargains signed by the club

£11,000,000 for Thierry Henry is a bargain by todays standards but this was probably quite expensive a decade a go.

Also, the £2,5000,000 spent on Ian Wright at the time was actually a club record fee.

Even the fee paid for David Seaman was a British record at the time.

Whatever the case, I think the £500,000 we paid to bring Cesc Fabregas here is our best bargain.

If you look at some of these very successful selling clubs like Porto or Ajax, it's quite remarkable how they've been able to find so many superb players in their teens and sell them on for big profit later on.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that bargain buys are more difficult to come across today than a decade ago.
