Bad Hangover

Think the papers are on some morning after the week before transfer lies hangover this morning. I.e. there's very little about, not even the usual made up rubbish.

The Telegraph are saying that Alexis Sanchez has decided to go to Barcelona, and his agent goes all Eric Cantona on Twitter:

A cryptic post on Twitter from the 22 year-old’s agent, Fernando Felicevich, has further added to the suspicion that a deal has been done. “ 'Everything’s gone fine until now’, said the pig with the apple in his mouth,” he wrote on Sunday.

The Chilean media has drawn a parallel with a similar statement posted by Felicevich after completing the sale of Gary Medel, the defensive midfielder, to Sevilla last season.

The Telegraph say in their headline that his moving to Barcelona is a "snub" to us, but I'm not sure signing for a club automatically qualifies as a snub to everyone else.  He has to be somewhere after all, can't please everybody.  The Sun claim that Man City are going to make a "last ditch" attempt to sign him.  He can snub them.

Getting desperate for things to include in this paper round up... so let's have a Owen Hargreaves story for old time's sake, it's a very short story in The Sun saying he'll take a "pay-as-you-play" deal.

There's an interview with Javier Hernandez doing the rounds today, it's from L'Equipe originally, so rather than giving you The Daily Star's version, here's the original French version, which I used either my extensive knowledge of French, or Google Translate, to read. He say's how unexpected his first season was, how he wants to improve next season and help Man Utd "make history":

As a group, I am very happy to have won the championship of England. This is a wonderful thing, especially after a title race as fierce. Chelsea, Arsenal or even Manchester City have battled to the end, but we never doubted our strength. Our team has such soul and such generosity. Success is written into the DNA of this club, I'm in the best club in the world. Everything is done to succeed and win titles. I keep only defeat in the final of the Champions League in the craw ... Personally, I am extremely happy with my season, but I do not rest on my laurels. I want to do even better next season. I want to help this club to make history.

And that's today's news.
