Before you posted did you stop to consider what his wage demands were and what that was relative to the three players mentioned? Or do you think all contracts are equal? You realize he wanted over twice the amount of the players mentioned....yes? Two and a half even?
And am I correct to assume that you think it is a bad bit of business to not give him the reported 200k/week? If so why? What has he done of note over the last five years in one of the worst midfields I've seen to warrant that sort of coin? Apart that is by giving Old Trafford the entertainment at seeing Slippys last game at OT last 30 odd seconds.
My honest reaction? I'll miss him and wish him all the best. Heart and soul player that played for the jersey. My also reaction when I heard he was leaving? Meh. No big deal. He's replacable, very replacable. For 200k/week I want hard to replace players.
Herreras gone, he'll be missed and thought of fondly as someone that gave his all and that'll be that. Remembered for effort and nothing more. But a huge void he does not leave. I'd like to have seen him stay but at nowhere near what he was asking. So....bye bye.
What is it about him that you think makes him a quality signing for PSG?
