Agree with what you're saying but, if he was still employed elsewhere; I would have thought he would be worth £1m transfer fee and £10k a week for 2 years which would add up to roughly the same...
This is very true, and he is worth £2 million for a two year contract, but...
But what happens when other players in our 1st team come to the manager asking for a pay rise to match our new keeper?
That's the problem. Wage structure.
