But they've delivered so "cheap" is a relative term - because if these new players had not delivered then they would be considered "expensive". More to the point, the reality for Carlitos is that he can leave Europe a rich, rich man when he is still in his twenties. He would play for peanuts at Boca. The only fly-in-the-ointment in this scenario is that he has a huge sibling set and he is probably their main source of income since the very poor in Argentina (and that's his background) have been crushed in the last decade by the economic "realities" imposed on the country by the International Monetary Fund. Two (or four) more years of "slavery" at Old Trafford might be hard to turn down for the twenty-eight year old with huge demands on his pocketbook. That said, Carlitos will always give the proverbial 110 %; he's a born fighter so I am in no doubt that as long as he doesn't become a "fatso" there will be a place for him in the squad. “Cheap” is hardly a word in UTD’s transfer vocabulary these days; since the mid-winter scoop of Evra/Vidic, all the in-coming players have been blue-chips, who have been very expensive.

He's loyal, hardworking, dedicated...five years of such commitment is enough but I hope he changes his mind! I’d around 15 million for him would be considered cheap.
