One aspect of the new transfer market in England is that lower level teams are willing to pay significant money for players who previously had a reputation, but flopped at a bigger club. Look at Palace about to pay 25 million pounds for Benteke. Or Stoke paying 18 million for Imbula. These smaller teams will struggle to attract quality players from other leagues like Batshuayi or Janssen, but they can still improve their squads by buying top 6 cast-offs. This is why we shouldn't be afraid to gamble on a signing or two. If they don't work out, but are young enough and have a decent reputation already, you likely will be still get most of your money back by selling them on to other teams with money to burn. In most cases, certain quality players will go to a lesser club to get game time and because they'll pay them good wages versus clubs outside England (look at Payet, Ayew, Wijnaldum, Cabaye, etc).
So, even if we pay a big fee for Janssen and he doesn't get much game time or establish himself, there is now a secondary market of buyers with the new television deal that will allow you to not take too much of a financial hit.
