You seem to have a problem in need of some evidence rather than some evidence that suggests a problem. As others have pointed out 3 or 4 of our first team lineup were established prem players when we bought themFor sure. If we bought one of those for 40/50 a year then all good, but he was coming from a relegated side. I'm no expert but there may come a time we need a player who isn't so easy to extract from their club
