Easily above £50m given how much Stones & McGuire cost.
You'd have to say 70m + easily.

Brehme was up there as well to be fair.Pearce probably second best in his position in the world at the time after Maldini as well.
Do you think it would have been fair to say that there was a point where he was probably the best CB in the world after Baresi?
I was a bit young then, so didn't pay as much attention to defenders!
It feels great having a rational debate as to whether or not a Forest player justified to be considered the best, second or third best in their position in the world as opposed to the obligatory (and often justified), "his masterbate".
Back then you knew we were set up to be able to defend and counter-attack.
When the opposition came forward you weren’t shitting yourself wondering how we were going to concede, you were anticipating when we would win the ball back and whether we would score. Happy days...

Lineker made his 1 to 11 yesterday and 3 of his back four were former Reds: Anderson, Walker and Pearce. Oh and his keeper was Shilton.
Lineker said Des couldn'y pass a ball beyond 10m but his tackling and positioning was second none. He hated the "never beat Des Walker" chant because he never got a sniff when up against him.
