Nobody has answered me this honest question though:
He was earning 4 million/year. How much was the extension, another 4 million?
Wasn't it worth to pay this and have a top full back at his peak for another season and maybe, just maybe a dip in form the season after but still better than most out there than be at this position now where we'll have to settle for lesser quality and still spend, what, 20 million mininum?
