......................Many a player has looked good for 1 year in the EPL and then gone on to be ok or average, usually after joining a bigger club actually.

Hi. This is my first post so I don't want to start with an argument!
But it seems to me that this sort of idea is one that comes from fans, whereas coaches, especially those of the calibre and experience of AVB and Baldini, should be able to look at a player and understand enough about their strengths and weaknesses to have a pretty good idea whether the player is a flash-in-the-pan or has genuine qualities that good coaching can develop further.
If paying tens of millions for players is as much of a punt for them as it would be for us in their job, why on earth are coaches, scouts and managers paid the salaries they are?
