Simple huh!, well not for me it wasn't, 21/58, and there's several names featured on here with strong Burnley connections for various reasons.

One brief titbit Jack Grealish isn't on the list as his transfer to City hadn't gone through then, but apart from that it should be totally up-to-date.

It was posted on 5th August so has some missing like Ramsdale to Arsenal and Abraham to Roma. So I gave up.

Shame as it was a good one :) thanks anyway!

I got 40 right.
Some I'd completely forgotten about and some spellings caught me out.
I take issue that the same transfer appears twice under 2 different prices.

We sold Keane for more than Real Madrid paid for Beckham at his peak

36 correct.

Crazy when you see some player names and prices they were bought for.

Andy Carroll to Liverpool still makes me laugh. A blind man on a galloping horse could have seen at the time how poor a transfer that was going to be.
