Because Maddison is a lot better than Cantwell, in my opinion

And that’s not a slight on Cantwell, Maddison is an exceptional talent, we all knew that he would be great in the PL.

That doesn’t mean we couldn’t get £30m for him of course, I just struggle to understand these modern day transfer fees, they all seem high to me.
