Still have to think somebody else would have been offering 40-50k and first team football.

And potentially Champions' League play as well as potentially a title?
I agree with you, but its nothing new, players have been going to teams for bigger money and less playing time since forever. He'll get loaned out somewhere probably.
Case in point? Nuri Sahin when he transferred from Dortmund to Real Madrid. He got paid, he never played and now hes on loan to Liverpool. He had just won the Young German Player of the Year award and Dortmund won the Bundesliga. Should he have stayed there? Probably, but Madrid were offering too much money.
