Zaha's signing was non-canon imho so Liverpool are welcome to him.

United didn't want to meet the release clause which is pretty high and I think it was a knee jerk to the bad start of the season. Last reputable article I read suggested they had told Benfica they were no longer interested

It might have been a baseless rumor but I seem to remember he signed a new deal after United became interested, which increased his release clause. Loyal, but not the wisest move. United's cooling off might be real or might be a bargaining tactic.

Possibly but they need him less than they did 3 months ago anyway. Only Bailly is missing from the squad and everyone else seems to be performing okay.

Interesting that he would have had an agent.

I think that young footballers trying to play professionally all have agents.

That's right. It's one of the few ways of getting trials with this type of club. You are paying for the agents connections and a lot of agents start on the small end of things in the hope of unearthing the next big thing.

A former colleague of mine here in Ireland was a football agent part time and had a stable (or whatever) of 40 players that were spread across the Irish top division, Norway second tier and Germany second and third tiers.

No doubt he is a good player and he is easily worth that much to Everton. It's just hard to see him breaking into the team

Payet is riff raff and he may as well play for the most riff raff club in the world, situated in France's own Los Angeles.

Considering how bad he has been it's a good deal if the add ons taking it up to £22m are true

Are there any recent stories about players not getting paid in China?


I know Drogba said that he hadn't been paid and used it at his reason for tearing up the contract and moving to Galatasaray, but that was some years ago now and just the one club.

I mean, Dario Conca has been there for ages now as one of the highest paid players in the world so the money is obviously there.

Anelka got hosed around as well I think
