As I said in the very next sentence that doesn't seem believeable
It wasn't meant to be believeable, it was just meant to be a very obvious gag, as far as I can see
but the circumstances around this are odd. Are we going to give improved terms every 500 PL minutes played as a club policy now or what's the deal?
Now it's you joking, right? Because you know very well that the 500 PL minutes are nothing to do with it.
I would suggest it's more to do with the role the player occupies within the squad. This new deal will remunerate him at a level more in keeping with his planned role, as well as tying him down for a longer period for contracting and amortisation purposes.
