WHILE there’s no doubt there are many exciting talents making moves in the transfer market, the eye-watering, mind-boggling, spleen-shattering fees quoted for players whose first touch is so bad … has many people calling the whole market into question.

Marginally faster than coastal erosion? Add £1.5 million.
Could finish between 43rd and 175th in a Julian Alvarez lookalike competition? £14 million.
