• Annika @8,rnrnAvailable on the cheap.rnrnStones currently earns £250k per week at Man City. While he might take a slight cut to join Everton, he would still expect to be the club\'s highest earner, surpassing the £150k+ bracket.rnrnAnd as a free agent with no transfer fee (his market value is roughly £12M), a significant portion of any \"savings\" in salary is typically paid directly to the player as a one-off bonus and he is likely to want a 3-year contract.rnrnSo, er...
