    The game has evolved. I remember Shearer signing for Newcastle in the mid 90's for £15m and people couldn't believe it. I remember around the same time when some footballers like Roy Keane and Robbie Fowler started earning £50k per week and everyone was shocked.

    Fast forward 20 years and the transfer record and salaries are more than 10x that. The Neymar transfer seems to have at least doubled everyone's market value in the last couple of years. Big transfers like that filter down in football. Liverpool signed a keeper this week for £67m....

    Question is this; how far away do you think we are from a £1b footballer or £1m per week wages? I reckon within 10-15 years we'll be there...

    Should have stuck to our guns and insisted on £6m upfront.

    That would have meant we broke even on him and mcmanaman.

    I just hope the additional £1m is appearance based.

    When the financial prizes for success keep increasing then so will the costs to achieve them.

    McClean went for game time and a manager that has been actively chasing him from when he was at Derby.
