Player Valuation: £60m
What you are saying would be correct if we had purchased his contract outright last season, but we did not. We only loaned him which is different.

Surely if that was true we'd just sign him on a 1 year contract pay a low fee then give him a contract extension.
I still think this is a case of where Barry finds himself in the merry-go-round. My hunch is that his preference is to play in MLS for the New York City franchise, but they would prefer Lampard, who is yet to make up his mind. I don't think they would take both, so he is left waiting for Lampard to decide. I doubt he'd go anywhere else in the Prem than us. Don't forget, he held out on deadline day last year to sign for us, played a key role in the team and he doesn't strike as the kind of guy purely motivated by money.
Can't even sort out a signing with a transfer fee of 0. Well that's not depressing or anything.
For real?He's signed, three year deal, announcement in 10 minutes.
