But if they dont have to pay a transfer fee for him then it might balance out
How does spunking £12/15m on wages for a past it footballer who might only play 15/20 games this season and a dozen the next balance it out? To sign Shrek at this stage of his career on that kind of salary is madness. In Carricks testimonial the other week he was outshone by some of the celebrities!
I hope he remains at the rags, being another leech to their bank account
I dont care enough to do the math so there is a likelihood im wrong but if they get him for free then they save tens of millions. Then, with that saved money, they can pay him higher wages than they would normally. Thats what i meant by balancing out.
Whether or not they should spend any money on him whatsoever is a different debate (they shouldnt).
Appreciate that if you don't pay a fee then it offsets against salary. But any salary for Shrek is a waste. He is finished as a top flight footballer. Your last sentence is spot on however
