Well, that sort of money is insane. I love Walker and I don't begrudge him this move because he had opportunities to leave to bigger clubs a good few years ago. I seem to remember Man Utd trying quite hard to get him when Red Nose was still there but he was advised to stay and develop.
This move is about money. We all know that, but at his age, he's dedicated a number of years to us when he could have been earning much more elsewhere and I can appreciate his decision at this time. He signed off his time with us with a fantastic season, the last at WHL, and we are arguably getting the most we'd ever get for him.
If we sell him for £50-55m and sign Ricardo Pereira for the rumoured £20-22m, I think we'll be in good stead for next season despite the loss.
