Well, we're going to have to accept that we're going to overpay for a keeper this summer. Everyone knows that we desperately need one, that we have the money and that we'll do whatever it takes to bring in a top keeper. But isn't that a good thing? That we're not using the moneyball approach for once and actually go for the top dogs? I mean, it's not like we didn't try to go for the cheap option, we did, but sadly it backfired in the worst possible way. Now the best way to fix that is to splash the cash and go for the best there is. It's not like there aren't cheaper options that are also very good out there, but we want to go for the sure thing on this one, and that's a good thing.
