Completely agree our scouting, recruitment and sell on strategy are in desperate need of an overhaul.

We couldn't have even signed Evans without the £3M release clause though so we were never getting £25M for him. Hence my point to 9 about being able to debate the viability of signing players with such release clauses.

As for Berahino the fee offered was two frogs and a conker with the rest spread across a number of clauses on a layaway plan.
