We could then give him a signing on fee of, say, the 600K plus the tax on that so that he doesn't lose out? He would still be a great deal at even 800K to 900K. Brum would lose a player they don't want. We'd get one we do want. Kieftenbeld gets to play football at a club he wants to be at and wants him.
£1.2million+ to gross up that figure.

I admire your optimism, but it's done now.
