It's easier to increase/inflate the value of a player bought for less than 5m

Then increase the value of player worth more than 10m in today's "inflated market".

Josh Murphy came through academy. Sold to cardiff for 10m when he was worth probably 1.5m. After 5 years at the club, cardiff bought him as a "young player with potential" for £10m and he hasn't done anything better for them then he did for us. Your argument would be with more coaching from farke, we could turn him into a james maddison and therefore he is worth the £10m. But unfortunately he is not and therefore when cardiff get rid i will hazard a guess he will be sold for less than £10m.

Maddison. We bought him for £2.5m when he was probably worth 500k. Two years later sold him for £25m when he was worth £10m. He went up 10x in value in 2 years. Predominantly most of that value was added after farke's first season when he showcased maddison as the playmaker. We inflated his price to £25m based on his debut season in the championship. Obviously maddison is of another pedigree compared to Josh). He went to Leicester and debut premier league is joint 6 most chances created in europe. Now possibly heading to man utd for £60m. That's 24x value in 3 years.

It all depends on the player being brought in and the potential.

I would rather have 4x James maddisons for 10m and it perhaps taking 2/3 seasons to develop. Than one josh Murphy at 10m who had potential but even after a season of coaching was still no better than he was the season before.

I think the most successful story in the past two years is how the hell we got 20m for both Murphy's.

I think we will always disagree on this point. Partly because premier league model is to buy talent in. Where'as the German model is to develop talent.
