I could think of better things to spend 75 mill on.

That should hopefully ensure an acceptable £35-£40m bid for Gylfi.

Sounds like a good deal all round.
He's a much better player than Morata imo.

Ironically purchased by Jose, who chose to loan him out and play midfielders in attack.

Money in football is a joke now when you look at how much some people pay for players. However,too many clubs also rely on buying abroad and hoping they adapt. Maybe there should be less focus on outbidding teams for top talent and more focusing on producing home grown talent?

Yes, but it doesn't work like that in the modern game. They want instant success due to the money involved.
Managers can't bide their time waiting for young home grown players to come through, they're under too much pressure.
Lots of home grown players do come through - Rashford, Stones etc. The cream will always rise to the top.
