It's that time of the transfer year again and where all the fans of their clubs are hoping to see their club bring in good reinforcements at good prices.
Since the biggest assets/investment of a club are its players, I decided to do an analysis where we will see if the players bought last season have appreciated or devalued.
In this analysis, I will only analyze some clubs from Premier League.
