They are pay over the odds because they are English players which command an absurd premium.

Maybe they did pay a premium for them but we will know in a couple of years if they are average players and l remember the so called critics at Arsenal in the last 10 to 15 years saying why have you signed another average player or players and those players turned out to be Vieira, Petit, Bergkamp Henry and many more and despite my average knowledge of football l am sure they were not average players.
