What a summer!
I think De Vlieger got injured against Wolves away Friendly in 2004, and had played in Bury away 0-0. Wanchope was then sold for about half a million which then paid for Watterous.
James was 2004 as stated, Bosvelt was a nominal fee about a tenth of what is stated I imagine.
We signed David Seaman on a free during the summer of 2003, to replace Peter Schmeichel after the Dane decided to retire having spent one season at the club. Unfortunately, whereas Schmeichel gave us a very good season, Seaman was a disaster. He got injured in January but should have been dropped long before. I think that both Keegan and the player were happy to use the injury as an excuse for him to retire, giving him a respectable way out of the whole unhappy episode.
