So the only thing that matters when it comes to price is age? FFS...Your post is more insane than thinking a quality left back, at 24 years of age and years on his contract, being bought for 50m being insane.
We bought Phillips for 42m a player out for most of last year and had a good year the year before. Two years older and primarily brought in to be Rodri’s back up. Seems we pick and choose when we want to penny pinch
Value is about assessing RISK - all transfers are a risk to some degree but some things mitigate the risk (prem proven, CL proven, International player, proven record of not being a nob etc) and I have no idea on that last one but Cucurella doesn't tick ANY of the other boxes.. so BIG RISK hence not just slapping £50m on the table
So instead of calling people insane why don't you give me any kind of rational reason why he's a "quality left back"
You can't - your just presuming 12 months at Brighton with 1 season in the prem is enough to risk £50m on and it just isn't...
