I agree in principle, but what do you actually get for that type of money?

Half a Murphy twin?

I do think we get obsessed by the price tags - just because we haven't spent upfront fees for Drmic, Roberts, Fährmann, Byram, does that instantly rule them out from being 'quality'? Or are players only quality if they have a £10m+ price tag?
