I know these figures are being taken in isolation

but Villa replacing [£35m] Tielemans with [£50m] Manzambi and Leeds replacing [£20m] Struijk with [£35m] Muharemovic gives a reasonable indication of why football is such a binfire.

I also note that a Brighton source is comparing McConville's improvement at Norwich with the failure to progress of Eiran Cashin ["McConville now a £20m defender since Brighton replaced him with Cashin"]
