Either way, back to my original point, the financial weight he carries is the reason why we can't afford to keep him on the books just to develop him, or have as 3rd/4th choice backup.
Whereas on the flipside we're not paying any transfer fee out for Yates', and he signed a new contract Jul 18 when he barely had any game time to his name so will be on relative pittance wage wise. That you can afford to develop, and keep as 3rd/4th choice backup.
Alf why do you think that any club is going to spend that sort of money on Carvalho? ... we shafted Red Bull when they signed Burke, and they shafted WBA in return ... now he is worthless and probably will go on a free to a L2 team when his contract runs out ... Benfica shafted us with Carvalho, and now we r hoping that some team sign him on just watching YouTube highlights...definitely not by sending scouts to the City Ground...
Totally agree, hence why I said "Won't recoup"
