5m is nothing. Over a 5 year contract that's 1m a season, less than 20k per week. His contact would be less than that again. It's a low risk high reward strategy. We should be snapping up these talents across the UK and loaning them out to increase their value.Thanks for sharing your thoughts on him. I'd say 3m + loan back (or to a championship team) would be a wise long-term investment. Could do a similar thing with Small. Either would be welcome.
Can use it to emulate Chelsea/City, but we shouldn't spend 5m or more on those type of players, because that is ultimately a big risk (given the laughable fees we get for our players, see Mavropanos).
