It could be one of those situations where he is paid a low amount in his last 1-2 years of playing, and then magically -- mysteriously -- ends up with a good job at the club or the academy. And he may be a guy who actually hangs around and works here for a while, unlike some of the post-play TFC deals (e.g., Cheyrou, Frings...) that really looked suspect.
BUT I also agree: We REALLY need some more starting midfielders in their prime years, approx. 24-29, and with significant experience. Midfield absolutely is a grind, and nowhere more so than in MLS.
