course he didn't, they always dress up general quotes as 'exclusives'

Correct - any one of many outlets for News Corps International or Associated Press can end up in that or similar rags as an 'exclusive'.

I think the point is being lost. It's ace that in these uncertain times when we don't know who will be owners next season and we don't know whether or not Rafa will stay Masch still come out and says he wants a new 6/7 year contract. Love that!

I'm pleasantly shocked at the way things have gone with Mascherano recently - I didn't expect him to stay at the club beyond this summer after last year. Now he's making it very clear he wants to commit long term which is just tremendous news. I'm elated because he'd always been a favourite of mine until he wanted to go.

 

Signing him to a long term deal along with Reina would be a real highlight of an otherwise disappointing season - both are still young players but old beyond their years and potential captains. It would mean two key players in the spine of the side we can build around, hopefully with new owners able to invest in the squad.

 

Does make me wonder if we'd have told Alonso he couldn't go whether things might have changed with him. Rafa dug his heels in on Mascher and this is the reward.

Suppose the difference is that Rafa never more or less actively tried to flog Mascherano.

 

Another positive with the Masch and Pepe situations is that they seem to want to commit regardless of Rafa being at the club or not, with all the talk about him leaving. Could be of course that they have inside knowledge that Rafa in fact will remain here.
