would be mad dumb to do this. february is a month with CL etc. also we have a tough game against Everton at home. dont believe that people on here are raelly happy about this. season is much much more important than this crap friendly game. and we surely wont field "a youth team", because if the game happens, there will be some contractual duties which players to fiield etc. dont forget that we have to fly some hours+ time difference etc. in summer, yes, no problem, but not in the middle of the season.

yes, maybe, but its probably easier to get in to Everton's team than in to ours. Evereton often dont have the money to spend big on players and so they try to utilize more academy players. we in contraire are a top team and its way harder for a young player to get into it if you arent even expressing yourself at your loan. Me, personally would give him a shot, but I dont think Mou will do it. looking at Madrid, he mostly played Morata (who was one of the best in the Castilla) for example or Nacho (probably the best defender of the Castilla). Also Mou already said that he will start our best players against Derby, so no chance for the youngsters beside maybe the 2nd half if we have a solid result by then.

i have watched his last games, all 90 mins. and he fades away in the last 20 mins of the game very often and looks tired, yes. could also be becuase he has been playing every game for Everton literally, but still, they arent even playing international football and with us he would have CL+ EPL+ Cup games etc. Also I just said that he aint ready to be our no 1 striker and I dont see people in here saying otherwise. we need a top-class striker up there and Lukaku as a back-up option. he is surely better than all 3 strikers we have at the moment (which isnt kind hard though).

mou dismissed the rumours on the PK. so only bs @primax79 nobody would pay 70 m for higuain. napoli were even dumb to pay 40 m for him.

Chelsea FC ‏@chelseafc 1h Mourinho on acquiring a striker: 'It's not a priority, it's not an option. We have three.' #CFC ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 1h Jose Mourinho on any transfers being made this window: "A striker, 100 percent no" #CFC

Nat sucked in the championship...why shoudl he deserve to play?

he is still having the same flaws. awful first touch, seems to lack stamina and sometimes his movement on the pitch is kinda awkard (too often going out wide). really needs to work on this, but it seems like he cant improve this things. nowhere near to lead our line next year, but could do well as a 2nd striker.

Well after his surgery he was more of a second choice. Karim played most of the CL games from start for example and also often played the Clasicos. Higuain is massively overrated. in the CL he sucked every year and couldnt score for his life (just remember the Lyon chance). against Barca he also barely impressed. 50 m would be a huge joke, even 40 m was a joke, but Napoli had to pay them because of Cavani. Futhermore Higuain is nobody who combines with a team greatly, more of a proacher who waits for his chance and just scores (well he is really good at it, no one can deny). but he tends to often lose his nerves in big games and waste clear chances. For 30 m he would be ok, but everything above it would be insane.

Mandzukic is really underrated. was amazing in their triple winning season and even with Guardiola, who tends to play with a false nine, he still won his spot. he has everything. technique, speed, killer instinct and he is also hard working. would take him without a doubt. miles above every striker we have at the moment.

50 million for a just good striker? yeah sure. if we wanted him to sign, we would have back in the summer. complete BS this rumour. futhermore no striker who wins your titles. we need really someone who IS WORLCLASS not another guy who is just good. he wasnt even a starter for Mourinho back then at Madrid.

how do you know that? only because he has played some non-saying anything pre-season games? in the preseason KDB looked like a god and Hazard was shit. preseason is really nothing to define how good a player is.

He is expected to join Vitesse on loan until the end of the season http://www.headlines.nl/nieuws/5/545767/

no, he would not have the same impact. he aint got the characteristics as Willan nor Oscar (in terms of pace and defensive contribution). even when the opponent is tired ans slow, he still can cope with Matas speed and pace with no problem.

for that Cole has to step up shis game. it aint looking like he will do so.

surely this is his Link José Mourinho Fan ‏@CobhamLive 2h Brother of Falcao's agent, Injal Mendes reveals that Falcao is close to move towards Stamford Bridge. #CFC seems REALLY realiable wont get any top striker in january. will have to cope with what we have until summer.

This article says 2015 and the sum is 35 m euros http://www.sportal.de/bvb-will-reus-ausstiegsklausel-abkaufen-1-2013110331378200000 futhermore there aint no space for him at our team. he is a LW and we have Hazard there. he hasnt been playing CAM for years (and he barely did it for Gladbach too). most of his career he was a winger.

we have a new coach. of course we are in transition. look how he tries to change our way of playing. look how mata plays in it. we are definetely in transition. its even hard to believe, that we are only few points of topp without having a world.class DM/Cm and a decent striker.

great subs. Only think I couldnt understand why he kept playing Mata as a RW while we had Eden on the pitch?!

wont get him in january anyway. maybe in the summer though

last summer was really abysmal. I think their new chief executive Woodward is at fault for this summer. tried to sign Fabregas the whole freaking summer while he didnt even wanted to join them. probably the most embarassing transfer summer in years for them. futhermore they tried to sign Thiago and than Pep f-ed them while snatching him up. Curious to see what they will do know. we can only hope that Moyes keeps up with his good work at least until they meet us at the Bridge you know its going down with United when Webb isnt giving them even a clear penalty. somebody they could get is actually Cabaye. would be better than anything they have.

Every team knows that Mou isnt fancying Mata. You dont have to come out and say this in public. You just have to look at his stats of his playing time and how he was used/subbed. Still dont think that we will sell him now. @The only place to be: Well if you arent taking the 2 past years in to his account, than its clear why you cant emphasize with him. if you have been the star of the team for 2 years (more or less) and than you are transofrming in to a player, who cant even play a full match if he starts, its normal, that you get angry. you cant just blend out what he has done for our club. he wasnt even shouting at Mou or some stuff like that, he was just angry, thats it. he also didnt run to the press and whined about it. Mata has been and is a top notch professional. Just hurts me a little bit if people tend to forget that fast. Should have sold him already in the summer and funded a new striker with the money PSG was offering us.

Maybe he thought he would be given more time? who knows what Mou said at halftime. Also you can be actually angry at yourself. I don defend his showing today, even thuogh I think it was partly also Mous fault. I think it was a mixture of being subbed+ playing not good. He surely WANTS to play in to the team but at the moment he just cant. its normal that you are reacting angry to it.

Did I say they will buy a world-beater? They could also buy mediocre players who knows. We will see. I think that even a mediocre player would be better than players like Cleverley at the moment. And futhermore United have a good scouting system, so maybe thye will sign someone rather unknown but talented.

Essien was never a starter. Cech wasnt dropped?! Mikel wasnt a starter back then. Cahill was never a starter. Torres was shit since he is here. Schürrle is a new buy and wasnt a starter. Same goes for Ba and Etoo. Cole was already awful for the most part last year. Comparing their situations to Mata? Mata was our BEST PLAYER twice in a row. and you compraing him to some new buys + players who have been shit for years or past it or whatever. None of the named was as influential as Mata has been in the last 2 seasons. Also Mata hasnt MOANED. he was jut angry being subbed, did he moan to the press or some stuff like that? And in contraire to Mata, they are at least playing at their best position.

it wasnt. its a normal reaction. which players have been dropped?
