Defo

People say "no way player X is worth £Xm" as if it's still 2006

The market is the market whether you like it or not.

As you say, there are players out there for £10-£20m but they're either unproven in the prem (and therefore at risk of failing) or proven to be mediocre

For every signing that does work out in that bracket there are plenty that don't

Agreed, but also there were a few on here who had no issue with what we paid for Gbamin, which I’m sure was 20+? Add on inflation and you must be at 30 by now, and I think we’d be getting a similar player in theory to what we thought we were getting then.

Given what happened today, he might be similar in a few other ways and all.

Which side am I arguing for again?
