Yaya's agent is apparently trying to get a contract that guarantees him a job for life at the club.

This will probably be the next big thing in contract negotiations. Weekly rates are probably as high as they can sustainably get (thanks Januzaj) and guaranteed future earnings probably represent a smaller amount lost to tax and so more cash in hand in the long run.

He really is one of the biggest mentalists in the game, the agent, less so Yaya.

Plays for Poland's U-19 and played as a nailed-on starter in midfield for Lechia Gdansk, but was dropped for a number of games recently on account of being, supposedly, a bit poo poo. Some say it's due to a bust up with the manager, but I have no idea how credible those rumours are. Last time I saw him play was against my Legia, where he was relegated to centre back and didn't impress, but that's more due to twobadteams.txt. Having said that, they say he has played rather well in the last two games, which I did not watch. That's all I've got. He's not someone that's well known in the league, but from what I've seen, he does have potential and I'm glad he's bailing from this shithole. Don't break him.

Yea, sounds good enough. He's been heralded as "the next Matic" by a few people, but I think it's just because he's a tall slav. This signing seems like it could play out either way, but it's good to have some defensive depth.

Lol at you thinking United won't sign top, top players this summer.

Dogshit and Silva signed for City a season after they finished fifth. Tevez went there a season after they finished 10th.

If the money is there the players will be there.

Decent manager and still the 2nd biggest club in the world. Just because they finished 7th doesnt really ruin their reputation completely. Milan were shite this year and finished out of europe but you won't have a shortage of players wanting to go there.

That's according to Jamie Jackson, who 2 days previously had Kroos at number 3 on Van Gaal's list of top targets, I think there's a good chance he doesn't know anything. Not that I believe Kroos is coming but I am going to remain optimistic :)

Kroos will play an underwhelming world cup and sign the contract Bayern offered him months ago (that or his current contract will run its course to join Chelsea).
