The problem is, there are also players like Studge, Can, Coutinho, Ibe, and Henderson that you also have to bring into the discussion. You can't just talk about the half of the players that failed to justify their transfer fee. You also need to look at the ones who succeeded and analyze them as a whole. No team has a perfect record when it comes to transfers, and most of the big clubs probably regard less than half of their recent transfers as unqualified successes. Just look at Chelsea, for every Costa a Remy, for Pedro a Moses, and for Fabregas a Cuadrado. The list goes on and on, but suffice it to say, we aren't the only team with this problem.
