PREMIER League Christmas parties, Fergie can't get a million while Sneijder can manage on $5m and Rodgers the dodger. It's Friday's Paper Talk!
SNEIJDER'S RICH ENOUGH
Galatasaray midfielder Wesley Sneijder is apparently willing to take a $1.8m-a-year pay cut to secure a move to Manchester United in the January transfer window.
The Netherlands star is one of David Moyes's many reported targets and said to be available for around $18m - but the Dutchman will have to eek by on just $5m a year, opposed to the very reasonable $7m he gets in Turkey.
Meanwhile, it seems David Moyes just can't get shot of Wilfried Zaha. The highly rated winger has failed to make much of an impression so far at Old Trafford and his hopes of getting some game time have been scuppered, after Newcastle boss Alan Pardew said he wasn't interested.

A PAIR OF 'NANAS
The Arsenal squad took a break from their heavy playing schedule to dress up for the club Christmas party on a fancy dress party bus through London. And it was a wild night on the town for the Gunners, with Lucas Podolski dressed as the Hulk, Mesut Ozil as Superman, and Theo Walcott and Keiran Gibbs going as Bananas in Pyjamas. Whoa there!
But the gig was crashed by former Gunner Ashley Cole, who also headed to the same swinging London nightspot, after the Chelsea party got blown off by players who'd rather spend time with their families. Yawn!
And if that wasn't boring enough, Manchester City players endured - sorry, enjoyed a night out in the cold, dark rain, spending an hour in the pub with nursing a couple of soft drinks. See, the life of a Premier League footballer isn't all that exciting after all.
RODGERS'S DODGER
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says he had a 'lucky escape' by not joining Tottenham when he had the chance.

The Reds boss was in the frame to replace Harry Redknapp while he was still at Swansea but decided on the Anfield move instead, and after seeing what happened to Andre Villas-Boas, the Northern Irishman believes he dodged a bullet.
Asked how he felt after AVB's sacking, Rodgers said: "A close shave. They are a great club and one of the things I looked at was the history.
"They'd had 11 managers in 18 years there so for someone like myself, I needed to create something; I needed to go to a club that was going to give us that opportunity.
"I am more than happy with the choice I made to come here and hopefully in time it will prove to be the right one."

FERGIE NOT QUITE A MILLIONAIRE
Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson appeared on the UK version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? and managed to bag $92,000 for the Manchester United Foundation.
This was Fergie's second appearance on the show - which was the final ever episode - and he managed to top his first sum of $50k.
But the legendary football manager fell short when he said a newt, rather than a frog, was on one side of a common brick. (The indentation in a brick is called a "frog".)

BLANC'S BLOOPER
Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has come under fire for sexism after asking a female journalist "You know what 4-3-3 means, don't you?'"
In a run-of-the-mill press conference, Swedish journalist Johanna Franden asked Blanc about his tactics, to which the classy Frenchman responded:
'Women talking football tactics, it's so beautiful. I think it's fantastic. You know what 4-3-3 means, don't you?'
QUIT OR BE SACKED
Not exactly the sort of Christmas message you want from your boss - but that's exactly what Cardiff City coach Malky McKay has been told by club owner Vincent Tan.

The BBC reports Tan emailed the coach a long letter in which he was highly critical of his coach, who led the club back into the top flight after 51 years.
Tam has previously criticised McKay for overspending - but the Malaysian has also changed the club's colours from blue to red and altered the crest.
To all those fans who hope a rich benefactor comes to the aid of their club - be careful what you wish for …
BLUES GET THE BLUES
Everton's Christmas preparations have been hit by the news talented youngster Gerard Deulofeu has been ruled out for two months.
The highly rated 19-year-old forward was stretchered off during the Toffees' 4-1 win over Fulham and sent back to parent club Barcelona for a scan, which revealed the injury was more serious than first thought.
