Why are the likes of Bournemouth able to do this, whereas we aren't? . . . or don't?

Annoying, isn’t it? Never mind I’m sure we’ll be in for another foreign under 23 one for the future soon
Settled club with the manager choosing the players and paying the going rate is probably the answer re Bournemouth

Bournemouth will be ahead of the curve of the HGP rule. Clearly some of their business hasn't worked out (Ibe) but they have a good core of HGP that when the clubs higher up the food chain need some to bulk out their 25 man squads they will stand to make a pretty penny.

To be honest, from what I've seen on twatter, the Bristol fans seem VERY happy to have got 13 million for him

I would imagine that Dan Ashworth is looking at just this issue. Quality English players have come through the age groups in recent years, who go on to prove their worth at PL level. Gomez, Ake, Maddison, Chilwell, to name just four.

To be fair, two years ago we signed Gross before the German season ended and last year I think we signed Andone and Balogun in May.
In terms of English players, I would say having to pay £13 million for a Bristol City left back is exactly why we tend to look overseas. Bernardo only cost £9 million and had Bundesliga experience.

Don't Bornmuff pay considerably higher wages than us from their shady infinite reserves?
Could also argue after last season they seem a far more stable mid table side than our bunch of nervy relegation threatened cloggers.
'Muff sign some awesome young lads, ours sit in the development squad like cockblocked horny teenagers.
