Sounds like the only thing stopping the deal being done is Miki....

[anonymous-user]

Wenger also said wages for Micky wouldn't be a problem. Suspect they have both done their last training sessions and said goodbye, we'll both want them registered in time for the weekend

[GTO-3R]

Got to be done before 12 tomorrow in order for them to play this weekend apparently

Juan Mata is a real class act both on the field and off it.

A brilliant gesture by the man. Thoroughly deserved.

[Alpinestars]

He's a real gent on and off the field.

The football world could do with more Matas

Agreed.

If I ever see him wandering around the Northern Quarter I'll definitely buy him a sugar-free grande vanilla latte (with soy milk obviously) and avocado on toast.

[ORD]

Absolutely a class act. Always has been. Ridiculous talent, as well, when you think how much he has achieved despite being small, weak and slow.

[200Plus Club]

Sanchez could donate £50k per week to charity and never miss it one bit . Scary wages.

Good point. How many of your team have signed up?

They can't, they play for nothing.

[Black can man]

Are you really going to pay Sanchez £500k a week ?

I’m not, the club is going to pay him a lot though. The overall deal is a damned sight less than a normal deal for a top player of £160m made up of £100m + £60m wages (£250k x 52 x 4 1/2 years) versus £129m which is £35m + £94m wages (£400k x 52 x 4 1/2 years)
We’re getting him for relatively peanuts in today’s market so the remainder of the usual >£100m fee is being used to make sure we get him. I suppose it’s all about good business sense once you decide you want the player.

It’s not United who made the football financial world go stupid but we can easily afford to keep up now it has.
