    It's odd, but you have to disagree on the value in order to do a deal. The buyer must value the item as being worth more than the selling price whereas the seller must value the item lower than the price. So the basis of capitalism is disagreement rather than what you might expect, namely agreement.

    Can not think of one player that played well in Scotland and then failed to deliver when coming to England

    I can think of a few:

    Barry Ferguson
    Kenny Miller
    Kris Boyd
    Boumsong
    Lorenzo Amoruso
    Neil McCann (although... was he any good in Scotland?)

    Most high profile footballers playing in Scotland make it in the English Premier. It does depend on the team they are joining and how they are used in my view. It also does depend on which country they play for if they are internationals. It would be unusual for a Dutch international to be a flop in the EPL.

    Pretty much the whole Middlesbrough/SPL team from the Strachan & Tony Mowbray era flopped

    Well, your reasoning is cogent, rational and well-argued though I'm still a little uncertain about the conclusion.

    Jelavic, Riorden, Stokes, Goodwillie, Craig Gordon, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink.

    There's plenty. He'll be fine though.

    To be fair on Jan Vennegor of Hesselink, he had to carry a hell of a weight on his shoulders...

    The original position of seller and buyer may be a disagreement about price, but nothing can be achieved until they agree...so in that sense it is about compromise and agreement.
