Juan Mata

[kellzfresh 7,229]

But when we do that, another problem appears. He's not as effective out wide as he is in the No.10 role and when that happens, our threat from his side probably drops 25-50%.

So he is basically the same level as benayoun on the wings??

[lionsden 4,689]

anyone who has watched manure this year and doesnt think Mata would massively improve them IS FUCKING KRAZY

If jose is worried that he would "improve manure significantly" to the level where they would become a threat which implies that he sees him as a top quality player then perhaps he should start playing him more often or sell him abroad.

[zolayes 14,489]

Why not let him rot on the bench then since he doesn't fit jose's style. if the rumour is true then no club in the world would be stupid enough to invest £37m on a player they don't intend to use as a no 1 option/regular starter. I'm not interested in debating where and how he would fit into a system yada yada same ole argument that has been recycled a billion times. Anyone club willing to spend that amount of money on a player obviously values the player highly to commit to such investment and will find a way to fit him into the starting eleven. It's simple really.

THEN sell him to a European team ....they dont play in the PL ....its not rocket science ,,,MANURE say they WILL NEVER sell to us ,,, so do you still say sell to them ,,

oh and throw in Lukaku as you dont rate him either

[lionsden 4,689]

If he hands in a transfer request as you said. Its going to be the same situation over there as well...

Oh you said, it's confirmed and settled then.

[HD3D 1,038]

The World does not end after this season mate...

Yes!! You are right. I forgot another advantage of this deal:

- Strengthening United will mean Moyes will stay for more seasons to come!

[Milan 17,866]

United fucked up our bid for Rooney with the words not for sale. We should act like them. Period.

[BenIsLegend 475]

I know this won't happen but it still scares me so much. I know Juan will leave sooner or later but I couldn't stand to see him in a direct rivals shirt

[De_ChrapQaa 192]

Don't we dare sell any players to them, LET THEM ROT IN MID-TABLE FOR SOME SEASONS, just pls...

Rooney+cash is okay deal if it wasn't united, they mentality and everything, we can't help them come back!

[zolayes 14,489]

JASON Cundy on talk sports now .... NO WAY would Chelsea sell Mata to Manure

[The only place to be 11,313]

THEN sell him to a European team

Does any European team actually want him? The two big teams in Spain don't (sorry Atletico), I don't know if the Italian teams could afford him and does Pep need him at Bayern?

That leaves PSG and the team one point above Newcastle and 12 points below us.

[lionsden 4,689]

Why are people worried that selling him to utd would mean strengthening a rival. I thought he was the reason for our failures over the years and a player that adds no value to the team. This is all a bit confusing now.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

If he hands in a transfer request as you said. Its going to be the same situation over there as well...

Lol

[Korea 734]

Lol

?

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Imagine the boost Mata will give to them too. Mata feeding RVP and Rooney would be incredible.

[lionsden 4,689]

Lol

You just have to laugh. If someone told me that a day will come in the not so distant future when Chelsea fans would view mata in such low regard, I would say no way

[Korea 734]

Imagine the boost Mata will give to them too. Mata feeding RVP and Rooney would be incredible.

And where would Mata play?

On the wings?

You mean the same situation Coutinho is in where he has gone awol since the return of both Suarez and Daniel.

[Toli 977]

oh yeah lets sell another player and strenghten our rivals. like we did with sturridge. great idea. if our board really sells him to them, while they fucked us over rooney, i have lost any faith in the board and Mourinho. you have to be deluded to strengthen a rival that way. he could shine in their 4-4-2 system as a second striker.

[lionsden 4,689]

And where would Mata play?

On the wings?

You mean the same situation Coutinho is in where he has gone awol since the return of both Suarez and Daniel.

What does it matter where he would play? why do you care? since he doesn't add any significant value to us and doesn't fit jose's style according to you.
