Bostock is an unproven 16 year old though, and the deal wasn't as bad as Jordan made out. There were lots of add on's on top of the 6-700k up front, so no comparisson really, saying that we have been stiffed before.
True, they are at different stages in their development.
But
-Bostock was England U16 captain and star player by all accounts
-He had played in their 1st team in the championship at 16
-Palace had trained him since he was very young
-Young British talent of his age have gone for £5m + in recent years (walcott, Ramsey)
-Cox has never represented England at any level to my knowledge, and only played 1st team games in league 1 (bar a handful of sub appearances for Reading)
-We will have only had him for 2.5 years when it went to tribunual, they are ruling on compo for the training he has recieved not his market value now
I'd be surpised if we got more than £500k + add ons through a tribunual.
