Franchise FC This is by far their best bit of planning.
No commitment beyond the season so relegation would not compromise them financially. A player keen to show that a place in Qatar might be possible

Well I guess it’s 10m of dead money in the sense it’s a lot of money for one year of one player. Come June he isn’t theirs again. Not played a lot for a year so not sure of his level and also whether he’ll stay fit
Still an expensive gamble but can see the logic, and if it works out and he performs it’s shrewd
