You wouldn't get a player of his calibre into the PL for that sort of money these days I reckon. There will be the PL TV bonanza add-on.
There's plenty of talented goalkeepers around at the moment and a lot of clubs are in financial peril so deals can get done.
£8M for a GK gets you a Europa League quality player that should be decent enough to play for a top 10 PL side.
Butland deal looks like another excellent piece of business from Stoke.
yeah I thought we'd got the best of that deal, especially at his age with the experience he had, he's still only 29, so barring injury, there's another decade of play from him. Though Lyon (if you believe wiki) are due 20% of any sell on..
