Player Valuation: £40m
Probably didn't make a profit. Papers reported he didn't go to Villa because he wanted 60k a week then he would get a big signing on fee for being a free.
60k multiplied by 144 weeks is just over 8 million. Add in any signing on fee and we've lost a fair bit.
But we would have signed someone else and paid them instead, so the real maths is (60K - Hypothetical Player Wage) x weeks we paid Cleverley. Then subtract that and the signing on fee from 8 million.
