What would be the modern day equivelant?
When Paul Merson signed for Middlesbrough - in 1997 - he was a regular in the Arsenal team that had just finished 3rd in the Premier League and was an England international.
Note : we signed him July 8th - we knew how to get signing over the line in them days ;-) at £5m it was the biggest fee a 2nd division club had ever payed for a player.
