One can only hope

Is there any good striker available and happy to sign for us in the next 7 days? ... ...Please?

I think that was some bs twitter rumor? Skysports just said they had got information from their source that the medical will hapen this evening and that the deal will be announced tomorrow.

Medical this evening according to SSN,

Lol at Mourinho who said this was going to be a "calm" transfer window! That sneaky man

One thing tho... He won't be able to play for us in CL, so we're still 4 AMs for 3 positions there.

I can only imagine the fury of Liverpool fans right now, they've been after him for weeks then we come around and just decide to throw some cash at him.

Just make it offical now then...spare us the torture.

Would be really interesting to see the price-tag... hopefully no more than ~£12m

Well that's Mata gone then... Salah has been confirmed.

*Shivers*

Would be so hilarious if the deal was off! Redcafe would be in total meltdown...

According to Daily Mail apparently united have prepared a helipad at their training ground...wth New Manchester United signing Juan Mata is expected at the club's training ground within hours. The £37million man from Chelsea is due to take a helicopter from Battersea and fly straight to United's training ground, where a temporary landing pad has been arranged. Sources close to the player have revealed on Thursday morning that Mata has been told that things are being put in place for his arrival at Carrington.

He's 21 years old, surely he would rather go to Liverpool where he'll have more chance of being a starter? But if we really are going for him I guess Basel is going to milk us dry now when they know we've got plenty of cash to spend.

BBC Sport ‏@BBCSport 6m Manchester United's bid for Juan Mata, believed to be in the region of £37m, is accepted by Chelsea subject to a medical on Thurs #MUFC #CFC

Props to Gus for turning Sunderland to quite the team! Don't think they'll stand much chance against City in the final tho

United out of the cup...small consolation atleast

Tbh, I've only watched a couple games and I get your point, but as I said I dont feel it's very justified to bring in a brand new ~£10m midfielder when we have dozens of them out on loan and in the academy. And if we go for Salah it would taste extra bad since we just sold KdB who is arguably the better player.

Rumors about us activating Diego Costa's releasue clause...I think the sooner we sign someone like him (If it's even possible) the better, otherwise if we enter february without any major signing and Mata long gone it might have a negative impact on the club overall, especially if we struggle some games. imagine the chelsea hating media hype if United gets a couple of wins while we go through a rough period of games.

The thing is we have bought so many half-decent AM's recently and then just loaned them out when we've bought better players. I'd rather we brought back one of them instead of spending £10m on a brand new squad player. Then again I don't know if it's possible for us to get Moses back midseason.

Well, so this is actually happening...I sincerly hope Mou and Co have a deal for a top-striker/AM already prepared, couse there ain't many days left for us to sign anyone in this window. Otherwise I can see this transfer hurting us in the fight for the title, yes Mata hasn't been playing much but there is a big difference if Oscar/Hazard gets injured and we only have Schurrle and/or a player like Salah to replace them with. I'd much rather we sold Juan in the summer even if we would be getting less for him and if he still ended up at old trafford.

Salah...sigh...I'd rather we just called back Moses/Piazon...or better didn't sell both of Kdb and Mata...

Rooney not in the Manu squad for Sunderland tonight!...One could only hope ...
