It winds me up when it's reported Arsenal got a bargain from Belgian football

It's usually exploitation in developing players, and rampantly ignores the other thousands of players which were smuggled or trafficked into Europe for money, or sold to agents then ditched

Not something to brag about just because a big team got a 'bargain'
