This is a wonderful surprise... but... unless it turns out that he is on £350,000 per week, the cynic in me wonders if he's done a deal with an exit strategy which will be best for both parties?
Perhaps he's agreed a marginal increase in salary, so the club can have him on an extended contract, and are therefore in a position to be able to sell him next season without him going on a free? He's not been happy for a while, didn't look interested in extending his contract, and his agent has been pushing for a massive salary. It's unlikely that he got the salary he wanted..
