Who are the comparables in the market, then?

Strikers don't count, as they carry a good 25-50% premium.

British players also carry a huge premium, as we know, and Steve Bruce pretty much admitted when signing Snodgrass.

Not being awkward - just don't know who those players are that make this fee comparatively low?
