Declan Rice won the Conference League with West Ham and helped them finish 14th. Arsenal immediately paid ยฃ105m. Nobody complained the fee was too much.
Mateus Fernandes got relegated, yet Tottenham paid ยฃ85m. Nobody complained.
Elliot Anderson helped Forest finish 16th, and Man City saw his work rate and paid ยฃ116m. Nobody complained.
Tonali helped Newcastle finish 12th, and Tottenham paid ยฃ100m. Nobody complained.
But Chelsea sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa for ยฃ117m after helping them finish 4th and win the Europa League...
Suddenly the whole world is angry because a Europa League winner isn't "worth" that much. ๐๐ค
Make it make sense...๐ค๐
