The Mak

How about you give us a break from your posts in this thread? If you don't like him so much then stop posting about him. Its simple. Take your tribalism onto a Rangers forum.

So United were able to keep us at arms length during the whole negotiations while still meeting the buyout clause they were specifically EXCLUDED from? Boy, don't we sound like a bunch of pushovers. If they refused to meet face to face we should've at least charged them a 'premium'. We could've milked them for an extra 5-10m EASILY. They were desperate and it was so obvious that they were never getting a player near Mata's quality in this window. If they didn't bite straight away they would've panicked the closer it came to deadline day. Their CL hopes depended on it. I mean, I rather we didn't sell to them in the first instance, but if we were I'd rather we played hardball instead of bending over and taking it from a club that flat-out refused to do business with us months ago. We look like a bunch of mugs for putting up with their bullshit!

Welcome mate!

Every forum is different I feel, and every one seems to have a general consensus. Theirs is just different. Though I do agree that he needs to be more consistent in his game and improve in the final third; let's just say they seem to have a more aggressive way of putting it.

If you go straight onto the Guinness, you probably won't like it to say the least! Ask for a half pint (I don't even know what measures you guys do!) of Guinness with quite a bit of blackcurrant (the type you dilute). That'll ease you into the taste a lot better!

To give hope to the delusional scousers. Liverpool is dependent on the Mirror don't you know!

I was about to say could we at least keep the political shit down to a minimum especially as he just arrived, but I see some people have already started it again....

Really classy performance from him. So calm on and off the ball. Often see him jogging to almost a walking pace and then he bursts with his long legs to make an interception or tackle. Great anticipation. We just needs another one of him!

Good job Townsend's dad! Thanks for that! Just picked us straight out without mixing them!

I somehow stumbled across this gem in a Bayern Forum (don't ask why, I don't even know). Still bitter do you think?: I think this guy is worth around €15m, skill-wise. His price is only inflated because he plays for Chelsea, and there's no way we're going to bid €48m just to make a Russian oligarch grin: we've already given him such satisfaction a year and a half ago. Also this video that rips the piss out of us, but it's still a little bit funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMKfV4TU1kI

Juan Manuel Mata, there's only Juan Manuel Mata, Juan Manuel Maaaaata....

He's probably making a fool out of the likes of Rio (mug) in training as we speak. And he's probably thinking "Wow! This is easy!". Yes Juan, you just wait until your first game...

Cheers man!

Cheers mate!

Shit, I've reached my limit for this month so I can't see it. Any chance you could paste it in here for us mate?

From Juan's YouTube channel a few weeks ago. His 2013: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHKOP5GPC0g&feature=c4-overview&list=UU_WoyWJ6cx9LEhGohfPi-3g

Could we please ignore the Manc who has nothing better to do on the day his club makes a record signing other than to troll Chelsea fans? If not, ban him or something so people aren't tempted. The day is bad enough without having to see his shit in here.

If you watched the rest of it he even took the time to thank Chelsea...

Just as I start to think I'm getting over it, he goes and posts all this stuff.... And by the fucking way: "From feeling like an important player, I started to experience some difficult situation and felt unable to help the team to the extent that I wanted and was used to...I look forward to being happy and to enjoy what I like the most: play football" I hope those idiots disrespecting him throughout the past couple of days made themselves feel a lot better about the whole thing. Probably the classiest guy we've had and he didn't deserve any abuse in the slightest. Obviously, he was too classy for some. Thanks again Juan, you absolute gent of a human being.

I really don't think they would only do it temporarily. Oscar is our no. 11 here so it made sense for him to switch. Neymar is their poster boy for this year, so it also made sense for him. I don't think Oscar really cares about the politics of the number whereas Neymar and the people around him would... Yeah, that it. I just thought it'd be nice for Hazard to get it for next season because he was no. 10 at Lille and is so for Belgium, but again, Mourinho doesn't really care I suppose.

So...they're only doing it temporarily?

Just had a look at his facebook there. He also has this as his cover photo: Surely he wouldn't be given the number 10? I thought maybe it would be reserved for Hazard or even Willian next season? (I know Oscars number is 11 for Brazil as well, so he won't want it). I don't really have anything against it, but its a big enough number for what seems like a squad player. At least its not like giving number 9 to Steve Sidwell or fucking KHALID BOULAHROUZ! God, Mourinho really didn't give a shit about the numbers did he?

Didn't like him going to Derby because they weren't really stuck for goals, but my word, this lad doesn't care about the odds does he? You stick him on and he gives you a goal. I don't want to get carried away because it's obviously still extremely early, but he seems to have a mental toughness about him and that can only be a good thing. Really looking forward to seeing his development. Another good season in the Championship and who knows?

Eh, don't you mean 5th minute? You seem more like a troll than an actual Chelsea fan. Either that or you're X's little brother or something.
