£20m for an unproven striker in the Premier League is indeed crazy money. It looks like we're paying anywhere between £17-20m, if the media are to be believed.
However, as was pointed out elsewhere, for a side earning £200m for just going up and playing one season in the Premier League, it represents 10% of the earnings. With the McBurnie deal, we'll have spent less than 25% of the revenue earned on Transfer fees.
Crazy money and unbelievable to think that last season this was our entire salary budget for a season and in league one the 500k we spent on Billy Sharp was a big fee to pay... We've come a long way in 4 years.
Crazy money in a competition which pays crazy money... I guess its the difference between the SPL and the EPL
