well said.

mata DOES weaken our squad. only half the season is over. the main part of the season is left. plus when u r challenging for titleS, u need quality in depth which mata provides to us. a 40mil offer is not hard to turn down when u see who the bidder is. united have been poor but they still have players like rvp and rooney who can turn the season around specially when u consider them playing along with mata. if united get top 4 cos of that, then the next season they will have something like this ------------------rvp--------------- ---janujaz----rooney----mata-------- -----carrickc------new CM----- new CM can be some1 like cabaye/gundogan/matuidi. we are not just helping them rebuild, we are literally giving them a lifeline here. as for the 40mil, suppose mata comes back from the world cup, and is then subject to a bid of 30-35mil from psg/atm/some team. how much of a difference does this 5mil make to us? also u keep saying the 40mil will strengthen us, but tell me how it does that this season. who can we buy to replace him with that money in this window that can help us get PL.

what signing? tell me how it strengthens our squad right now and with what signing exactly? and since RM and PSG are ineviyably going to strengthen, lets sell them hazard and oscar too. with the 100mil and 40mil... we can probably strengthen ourselves even more.

reus is a BVB player, draxler is a schalke player, robben is a bayern player and di maria is an RM player. we cant do anything about those guys. what we can and should do is not willingly and stupidly help the most successful team in the premier league history (one which has won 20 PL titles and about 12/13 in the last 20 years). like i said, that is plain stupid.

i saw the RM match last night and it really looked nothing like a 4-3-3. it was pretty much a 4-2-3-1 with modric-illaramendi playing the pivot. CR on the LW, bale on the RW and maria thru the center. i maybe wrong there but after watching the match, that is what i would say. also i had heard a lot about di maria getting the boot since RM has the world's 2 best wingers but week after week it has been di maria that has consistently been starting the matches (bale injury in the start, CR injury after that and now he has totally displaced isco out of the CAM position, specially after the athletico match). we DID NOT have a settled trio. the defensive problems with MAZACAR was pretty evident for every1. plus towards the end of the last season oscar on the RW was not good. hence the required changes. as of this moment, we have a balanced trio of AMs and for the first time in years, have a CDM who can complement them, but now we want to disturb it all so as to get reus/mr. x /mr. Y. also i would want players who play for the batch. the blue lion with the pole. reus seems to be a BVB player, on the other hand we have a POTY for the last 2 seasons who we are selling to our rivals. just not done.

if mata is leaving (still cant believe this can be possible), we just need to rest our AMs for the main matches. schwarzer iva kalas DL cole matic mikel lamps schurrle BA hazard. go for 4-3-3.

and who would reus displace in the trio of hazard-oscar-willian. wait a very successful trio of hazard-oscar-willian. u simply just dont tinker with a combo (which by the way took 4 months to be found out) and simply throw it out of the window. thats not the way real football works. as for di maria, lets not even go there. madrid play 4-2-3-1 and have CR, bale, di maria and isco as there only options along with jese. plus carlo has already said that there will be no departures.

i still dont get it. mata should leave us cos he is WC and deserves more than just sitting on the bench. but we want to replace him with reus/di maria who are also WC and who would also be sitting on the bench.

biggest mistake in our transfer history for me.

no dude. torres was a MISTAKE. but an honest one. the intention was still to improve our squad by having strikers like DD, FT, anelka. but this deal is a BLUNDER. that too knowingly. i simply cant understand how selling mata improves our squad. this move is plain stupid.

lets hope that is our plan.

for someone who was unwilling to sell BA to tottenham, i really want your opinion on the MATA transfer.

then say that. dont go on to say "cheatcharito" but in the same breath say that i want suarez. it just gives people mixed signals.

that is just weird dude. u r fine with a known cheat, racist, cannibal but not with some1 like chicharito?

i thought about that. but WHO is the most important thing here. i am actually out of names. lewandowski is gone. cavani and falcao would cost a fortune and i doubt they would want to move after 6 months. to be honest, i am not very impressed with costa and his release clause of 38mil makes it an even more no-no for me. so the point becomes WHO.

if mata goes (37mil), the minimum i expect is shaw (25mil) and zouma (10mil).

i am not aiming this at u but in general, that why are we so bothered about the "money". i am sure the people running the club have been taking care of that aspect. if we were actually in need of funds to buy some1 (say like in the summer when both falcao and cavani) were available then this would have made sense. right now, i doubt if there is a decent "replacement" available. and the "replacement" will have to go thru the exact thing that mata is going thru, ie, be a back-up. i am sorry, but like i said before selling mata to united (by the way, i would rather have that we sell him to psg for 30mil than united for 37mil), without rooney in exchange makes no sense at all.

who? who should we buy right now? and also, remember hazard-willian-oscar is playing awesome and it would be very difficult for any "quality" player to break into the team. hence the "quality" player will also be a back-up. also how does seling mata strengthen us. unless there is rooney involved, this move make 0 sense.

how? how does this move make sense right now? we will have no cover in the AM department (as well as having no cover in the defence). oh wait... we have kakuta... he ll be good enough!!1 right?

37 mil is a lot, accepted but united is still united. it would be IDIOTIC to strengthen them with some1 like MATA. swap deal with rooney or no deal. i would rather sell mata to PSG for 30mil than to united for 37mil.

hazard-oscar-willian is here and going to stay here for a long time (or atleast i hope so). schurlle is also going no where and he probably fills in the 4th AM spot. so expecting that mata leaves us in the summer, we have 2 spots open in the AM position. i would prefer moses as our 5th AM (homegrown, young, good workrate, and has already proven that he can be more than just useful in CUP matches). as for the 6th spot, i would prefer a youngster from the academy to take that role instead of someone like salah. piazon has been great for vitesse and i feel would deserve that outside chance to make it here. plus 8-12mil for a squad player who seems to be similar (like u said), to a couple of players we already have (marin and moses) does not bode well with me.

everton are 4th. they are a TOP TEAM. and the goal they scored today was created by lukaku's header. he created something, literally out of nothing.

drogba-ish assist. nice head down.

no loan? any news?

i dont get this argument... since RM as a team failed to win anything it should mean that CR as a player who plays the same position as ribery and has scored 7 times the no. of goals in the year does not deserve the ballon dor? what the fuck!!!! bayern munich won the CL and the bundesliga and the german cup and the super cup and the club world cup. ribery was a part of that team but INDIVIDUALLY CR thulped it. its like saying that if messi/CR go to fulham, score 50 goals, win jack squat, then their performances mean nothing since the their team has not.
