Costs were pretty much covered by selling Jordan Ibe and Brad Jones to Bournemouth for a combined ā¬21 million the same summer.

Dembele could thrive at Liverpool. Although youād wonder would he get game ahead of Mane and Salah.
Liverpool are certainly good at mugging Bournemouth off but I think that should be investigated. Looks very suspicious Bournemouth buying Liverpoolās deadwood off for inflated fees.
It is actually mate.
The market has changed a lot in 4/5 years, thatās probably Ā£40-50m in todayās market.
Wijnaldum is a decent player but heās nothing special. I donāt think itās a meagre fee for a player of his ability.
I donāt think it has changed that much.
Winjaldum was worth that then I would say. No more or less. But itās hardly a huge fee even af the time.
The likes of Everton, West Ham and Newcastle werenāt spending Ā£40m odd on average players back then, they are now. It was soon after that the Chinese clubs massively distorted the market.
Still wasnāt a huge fee.
The young lad at Leverkusen Harvetz is it , looks a real player .
It was a significant fee on a fairly unremarkable player, at the time.
I certainly wouldnāt call it meagre.
Ok - go on.
Go on?
I donāt think it was a meagre fee at the time.
It was probably one of the top 10 EPL transfers that summer or very close and heās been decent for Liverpool but heās not a guaranteed starter or anything and itās not as if Liverpool have a special midfield or anything.
Everton spent more on Yannick Bolasie the same summer.

Fair enough mate. I accept your surrender.
Trouble in (the socialist) paradise.
Tonali looks to have chose Inter as his destination next summer.
