No matter the strength of the league, that's awful money for one of the better players in their position. You'd struggle to get a decent Championship-level player without breaking £6mil. We get quoted £25+mil for youngsters in Portugal or Brazil who have played 5 or so games, but we get shafted again. I guess it's due to there only being 1 year left on the contract.
That's my point at his current level he'd struggle to get tagged as a decent championship level player. We do get get quoted stupid prices as do all the big clubs but that's because we've identified something in the player that suggests they can go on and develop into top quality players, hence our interest,if other teams saw that in Angelino we should of been getting offers in the double figures last year of contract or not but the fact is only PSV were willing to punt, says it all really.
Like i mentioned earlier imo Jack Byrne showed more facets to his game and looked more impressive during his spell in Holland yet left for peanuts so in comparison to that deal we've done terrific definitely improving our negotiating skills when coming to selling.
