I doubt any other club would have given him 7 years and we were stupid to cave. As for being no1 priority, no, JDG should have been no1, Moore no2, Grundy no3.
But for anyone saying he’s got credit in the bank, the most concerning thing for anyone is when a player has a shocking year as soon as he’s signed his lifelong contract. He’s got nothing left to play for, you see it often players ha e a big year, sign a contract then drop off.
Trouble here is he won’t have another good year to earn a good contract because he’ll be done at the end of this one.
7 year contracts make zero sense, people complained about 5 year contracts for Copeland trophy winners!
