30 Million! Has Sunderland got it's own currency that I haven't heard about with a 1.5 exchange rate?
I blame @davek for this, Moshiri has obviously been reading and said to himself 'i'll show him a net spend'...
Hopefully the lad continues to improve, happy to get the business done early but man that is a lot bread. I just hope we bought the right one as surely we could get Butland for that.
Think of it this way - Ederson is the same rough age, completely unproven in a top league, uncapped for Brazil and cost Man City £35m.
Pickford has experience here and cost less. Much less really, when you consider add-ons.
Yet nobody batted an eye at Ederson because it was Man City and he has a fancy name.
£20m approx plus addons is absolutely fine.
