His price wouldn't qualify him as part of the moneyball theory, too expensive, too much wages and with too great a risk attached to it in terms of sell on value given the money spent and the position in the 11 he plays. Sturridge but more so Coutinho is a prime example of it.
Fair enough, I don't know what wages he's on but the reported fee of around £10 million that Spurs paid for him is small beans for a player of his quality and not that far above the money we've paid for lesser talents.
