I don't know about that, mate.If Rooney plays like he has so far this season for us I think we'd win the title. Especially if he's played in his preferred position. He'll want to prove his doubters and detractors wrong and repay the faith Mourinho has in him. I think he'd be a beast for us. The only way this move happens, I hope.

I thought he played on the right?

Exactly. Unless we immediately use the cash to go and get Reus or get Rooney in exchange than it makes no sense to sell him for straight cash. Might not effect us much this season but I'd absolutely dread playing United with Mata in the future.

Ha!I'm panicking, Zolayes, panicking!

Okay, there really are some reputable journo's reporting this story now and it's a bit concerning. The figure and details seem so specific to just be randomly made up. Someone close to the situation may really have heard something.

Just the thought of Mata in that red shirt infuriates me.

So who's organizing the boycott if Mata is sold to United? Unless we get Rooney in return THIS MONTH then no way. None of this "give us Mata now and we'll let you have Rooney in the summer" bullshit that United fans are talking about. Would be an absolute outrage if he's sold there without us getting anything in return other than cash.

Never said I expected that of him.When your biggest strength and asset is your size and physicality like Lukaku's are, you have to be able to hold up the ball, bring other players into play, and distribute it accurately. His first touch is frankly very poor. The ball goes in and often bounces off of his feet 5 yards away from him giving the other team possession. He also puts the blinders on and tries to do too much at times. These are all things that come with development and coaching so he'll obviously get better.

I wouldn't call Everton a top team. I'm talking about a team regularly competing for titles and in the biggest competitions.That nod on for the goal was all he did for the entire 90 minutes. I'm a huge Lukaku fan and really want him to develop into a top player for us, but he needs a LOT of work and refinement still. And he certainly wouldn't have gotten that here this season.

He's been awful today. It's performances like this that prove the loan to be the correct choice. Not good enough for a top team yet. Still far too raw.

Lukaku's first touch hasn't improved at all I see. He's given the ball away about 3 times already due to a really poor first touch.

He just personally rubbished it on twitter. As expected.

BS as usual.

Think we're being massively rick rolled.

This.

Luke, come and learn the ways of the Force! Jose will be your Yoda!

I agree that he's made the right choice in Oscar, but you can't really blame Mata for looking as poor as he has this season. Even a top, top class player needs to be playing regularly to be at their best. Mata can't be his world class self if he gets 50 minutes every 3rd match.I just wish there were some way to have him on the pitch along with Oscar. It just makes me sad reminiscing about how insanely incredible he's been for us and now seeing him not get a look in. Like I said earlier, I hope he has a big player for us going forward in some capacity.

Very good point and what I'm thinking as well.Now that our CM isn't tissue paper thin we can afford to play Mata in his most effective #10 role without him having to worry as much about tracking back. I REALLY want both Mata and Jose to silence the critics and see Mata get a run of games at #10 to get his form back. Think Juan can be a massive player for us in this half of the season and may be the ace up our sleeve. He doesn't have the wear and tear of our other players and will be desperate to do well in a World Cup year. I miss our little magician so much!

Maybe he gave Moyes one of these in the tunnel after the game.

I hold my breath and cringe just about every time he goes into a tackle or runs at a 50/50 ball. I love his physicality and determination, but he has to control himself more at times. He barges into so many players that it looked like he's playing American football sometimes. It is absolutely hilarious however that United fans HATE him as much as we do Hernandez.

Ibra for Mata?

Must say, I feel really bad for Mata. When the camera showed our players on the bench he just looks so down and unhappy. He's gone from being the main man and most important player on our team to not even getting a sniff in huge matches like this.

Forgot to say, I thought Azpi was AWESOME today. Brilliant work ethic and great pace. Excellent player. Oscar on the other hand didn't have a good day. He looked a little off the pace and tired. Hope to see Mata start the next couple of matches and give Oscar a bit of a break.

United fans all saying "Chelsea aren't even good. They didn't impress me at all." Or "Chelsea are average at best." Fucking babies. Enjoy the scrap for a Europa League spot you cunts!

Still doesn't quite sit right with me when Jose acts all lovey-dovey and sympathetic towards United. Wish he'd stick the dagger in every once in a while.
