Hendo From Despair To Where? Nameless If this bloke any good a €5million option could be a very smart move.
A good season with us would potentially see that valuation jump and a purchase in May and a sell on in August could give us a nice windfall.
If he has an average season we just don’t exercise the option.
At the same time, I wouldn't like us to be spaffing €5m on a player the moment we come out of special measures, unless, of course he shows Premiership quality.
Ince clearly thinks we're too soft though.
Time will tell on that I guess, if he is clearly a cut above, €5m might not be such a bad investment, especially if the rest of the team show signs of improvement and an ability to amount at least a challenge the following season.
For context, 5 million Euro's is currently £4.25m, which is probably a bit high for a Championship player, but players have definitely moved for less. The important thing for me is, if he comes and displays qualities to be worth that amount, then we should pay it providing we can actually afford it this time.
