Bournemouth aren't really a poor EPL side though are they?Poor EPL side:
Bournemouth paid £21m for Solanke who had a grand total of 1 professional goal to his name.
Top 10 side:
Everton paid £45m for Sigurdsson... a decent player but not a top 6 player.
Top 6 side:
Spurs - being asked to pay circa £60-80m for N’Dombele and Lo Celso, 2 players whom are both being pursued by Europe’s elite clubs.
Top 6 team in Europe.
PSG paid £135m for M’bappe Lottin and £222m for Neymar, 2 world class players.
Therefore us paying £60-80m when taking into account the above pecking order isn’t unreasonable. Yes it’s still an eye watering amount of money but it’s the going rate for quality players. Should they go on to become world class then they will be completely out of our price range.
