Ironically, I'm not sure the fact that Archie has played a lot more games necessarily equates to a bigger transfer fee than someone who has played fewer games. Rightly or wrongly, I think there's a tendency to think someone who has played as many games as Archie in League One / League Two 'belongs' at that level. It seems to me that clubs higher up the tree are more likely to pay big money when they're taking a bit of a punt that someone who's only played a handful of games might progress to a very high level - this, I'd suggest, was what happened when Sunderland offered a seven-figure fee for Josh. Pretty sure they wouldn't be offering anywhere near as much now.Archie has played a lot more games and been captain hence my higher valuation. Different players and I would have thought a cenner midfielder would be viwed higher than a wingback but it's all a matter of opinions
