I think the US prices are a little over inflated...Orlando wanted 17mill for Dike after

his successful Barnsley spell, I am sure that West Brom probably paid close to that. Pepi cost Augsburg 16mill euros..way above our league! The US sports are already so conversant with moneyball and the level of the league relatively low that I am not sure we could gain much from it.

I think there are so many teams further along this system compared to us, like Dortmund, Augsburg, Salzburg (rich team in a small country)...we need to find an untapped market, southern Africa, Asia, Central America maybe, but all have fingers from bigger clubs in these pies so to speak
