Agree. And the ones we are paying €4m and upwards for are something of a guarantee, they have that bit extra in quality and experience to warrant that price.
I remember we signed Immobile for €0.1m from Sorrento. Sorensen cost €0.13m. Ekdal was €0.6m. When you add the smaller moves up and see where they move to we make money on them.
Remember, to guys like Cronios, Bianconero81, Bambi, JuveSardu etc, unless we spend 25m (minimum) on one "OMG SUPASTA" player each mercato, then we're failures.

They are not steady when we waste those 5mils on those Piazenzas, Padoins and Pelusos though...
If we were wisely spending our money and making marginal earnings from those 0,1 profits, no one would complain, its when we accumulate those Mottas and MArtinez that we do...
Marotta up until this season was one of the worst managers at making profit as he was always buying high and seeling out what we had and had many cases that forced us to waste millions upon millions on players we never used...
