You can get a good solid champo centre half for £10k-£12k a week. If we are paying him any more than that then it is a vanity signing by the chairman, based almost purely on the fact he's a: related & b: from boro.
I will be a bit annoyed if we have decimated our squad and almost got ourselves into league 1 to allow enough wage budget free to sign the chairman's nephew on £25k plus a week. He's more than good enough, he may well be boro 'through and through', but it will be a poor financial decision for the club based on heart rather shrewd business acumen, like a lot of Gibbo's decisions.
I can only applaud someone with that level of commitment bank rolling this if it happens, but it doesn't really make financial sense for us, or accurately reflect Ben's ability level IMHO.
