Yep, it's almost always* more expensive to get a player out of another club, than to retain that player. Especially if it means moving city.
Some fans think somehow their club will be immune to this tendancy. It's just not likely that we will make out like bandits if Haywood goes, and then pay peanuts to get a like-for-like replacement medium forward.
The player agents and commentators are understandably keen on players changing clubs for their own benefit.
* The going home factor, the can't get a game, and the last chance for a premiership being possible exceptions.
