I think the answer there is one of them was £17m and the other one was upwards of £25m.
Thing is £17m still can get you a player with the skillset we needed, cabaye went for a similar figure 6 months later iirc, there was plenty of others more suited to what we needed, none perfect but would've addressed the obvious deficiency rather than compound it. Banega, clasie, badelj etc.
