Looks like we won't need a shitty stick to fend off would be suitors. Considering he is currently a number one International goalie with lots of experience I am a tad surprised. Just hope we don't panic sell and get dry bummed. He is worth at least £25m so if those cheapskates at Everton come knocking they should be told to pay up. It's not as if they have no money now is it!
It's not really that surprising when you consider what he would cost in terms of transfer fee and wages, that restricts the number of clubs that could afford him and those that can are set in terms of goalkeepers.
But surely someone like a Bournemouth or Middlesbrough or Sunderland or Newcastle would spend that kind of money as it would give them a better shot at staying in the PL, or getting promoted in the case of Newcastle. In fact most of the PL from seven or eight down's prime objective is to stay in the PL and a decent goalie goes a long way to achieving this. The riches on offer in the PL now mean paying £20/25m for one player isn't as outlandish as in previous seasons. Joe must realise he is going to have to step down a level and he has earned plenty from the game so accepting a lower wage ( will still be more per week than most earn in a year or even two) will be something he should suck up and do.
Let's see how important playing really is to him
