I don't think he is worth that much either. The problem: players that would be suitable for D1 (not even as a go-to-guy, just as a starter), cost 5+M, and with efficient salary even more. I am extremeley busy so willing to overpay by 1.5M just so I get it. Otherwise I would lose this season again and get stuck. Feel like my trainees are developed enough for D1 now so just going for it. Weekly, I will still be in green, although my bank account will be more than halved.
After this transfer, I am just going to need one more guy to be a force to be reckoned with in D1, and i should have 5-6M available for that after promotion bonus
