Not for free or from the academy, a player that went for a fee.
Jamal Musiala? Chelsea let him go to Bayern for 200k.

Messi for a hormone treatment programme and money to his dad.
It's an interesting question because it doesn't necessarily mean the lowest fee: Cantona was more than £200k to Man Utd, but a huge catalyst and worth every penny.

Definitely not Cantona.
Obviously was a good signing but only played 5 seasons for them. Was banned for 1.
Only scored more than 20 goals (in all competitions) once.
Never got 20 league goals in a season.
Keane, Schmeichael (sp) and even Ronaldo are all better bargains than Cantona in my opinion (and that’s just at Man U).

Nonsense. Throw meaningless stats at it all you want but Cantona had an influence at Man Utd that changed the mentality and drive of the team. Just being on the pitch motivated and lifted the team. No stat can show that but this will only be opinion, not fact, but if he hadn’t been banned in January 95, I bet Man Utd and not Blackburn would have won the league that year.

Think Andy Robertson's transfer from Hull to Liverpool for £10 million was a snip in today's transfer fees.

I’m not saying he wasn’t a very good signing. But never the best bargain ever.
Lastly, according to you, his petulance costing his team a league title proves how good a signing he was

I always thought it was some team tracksuits. Then sold for, what, 2.3 million? Superb ROI

Robbie Mustoe signed for us in 1990 for £375,000 and played 365 games before leaving in 2002.
I think that was money well spent.
