Bed bound and ridden with disease I was unable to get to the Valley yesterday so I logged onto CAFCTV and watched a stream as I listened to the commentary. Early on in the game the co-commentator, a Brentford fan apparently, started going on about being overawed by this multi-million pound stadium and little Brentford playing this huge side which was purchased for millions. The commentator (a woman, I can't remember her name) said, well actually the whole stadium cost about 20 million quid to which her colleague expressed his suprise. Then she laid in with her killer FACT.. "and of the starting eleven only two players have been bought, the rest were all loan signings or were brought in on a free!"
I've been thinking about it but I cannot remember who we bought and who we signed on a free. Nicky Bailey was brought in by Pardew, who was the other one? And is this FACT correct?

Semedo or Racon maybe?
Elliot; Youth.
Richardson: Free from Leeds United
Youga: Free from Olympique Lyonnais
Dailly: Free from Dundee
Llera: Free from MK Dons
Sam: Youth
Semedo: Free from Sporing Clube de Portugal
Racon: 550,000 euros from Olympic Marseille
Shelvey: Youth
Bailey: £750 000
Burton: Free from Sheffield Wednesday
Which means that our starting line up for the first 6 games of the season has cost
£1 229 904.

So about 3/4 of Marcus Bent
Or even almost a quarter of Jason Euell (remember him?) fee - I wonder if he is still playing for Soton and would be in the team tomorrow??
