Ah got you! Yeah in terms of players we have signed post-relegation, I don't think there has been any. You could argue the likes of Dijksteel and Bola would potentially go to clubs further up the chain than us. If they did you could have them as examples, but that is all hypothetical at the moment. -
Adama was also brought in when we were playing at a higher level, whether he was ready for that or not. He was brought in to play at that level. The reality is he wasn't ready for it and Pulis made it so that he was, for sure. But it's not like we spent a less than significant sum on a player whilst we were in this division and made them better. Braithwaite has the trajectory, but as you say he didn't get his move to the Spanish top flight because of his development here, it was for the same quality and expectation we had of him when we brought him here.

I did mean our second relegation! But Adama is the best/only recent example that fits the bill imo. It's not good. -

And with the exception of braithwaite, signed before relegation. And braithwaite did not get a move to a bigger club because of how he performed for us. -

Adama is probably the only one. Brought in, improved with us then sold on and is playing at a higher level directly from the move. Bamford, Stuani and Braithwaite got brought in, arguably didn't improve under us then got sold on. Bamford has since thrived and is now at a higher level; Stuani is in a similar boat, but Girona weren't exactly a step up from us, same with Braithwaite pre-Barca move.
