Juan Mata

Sad for Mata. But happy that an expensive signing for United has not panned out so far. Hoping he can move to a team better suited to his assets and not loaded with cunts soon enough.

tbf the players around him have been absolute shit, especially young who is playing on the same side as him

Mata is similar to Ozil, if his team is playing like crap, he will also play like crap.

Such a shame, he can brilliant but if feels like mata move from a transition team (us) to another transition team in Manu

that's what his role does to him. he's a playmaker, he makes others play well. if they're not making runs and getting in space he won't be effective

Every time I see the pundits and United fans create there best lineup now with their transfers done Mata isn't in there.

A year ago the same people were branding Jose an enemy of football for supposedly disrespecting such a great player.

Absolutely comical back tracking.

He's a nice guy so he won't cause dressing room problems either. Hope he moves on now, preferably to Spain.

Mourinho didn't want him for certain reasons, and United have brought in a coach who has similar demands to Jose. He was a desperation purchase and their recent purchases (as well as the decision to make Rooney captain) have left him marginalised.

I'd be surprised if he wasn't sold in January. He won't be cup-tied in Europe and I reckon he could end up somewhere like Valencia for about £20 million. Would be rather amazing if he never actually got to play against us.

Thiago Alcantara will be Spain's maestro for the next generation.

Not Cesc or Mata.

Considering Thiago is 4 years younger, yea. A midfield of him+Koke will be niiiice.

[Thor 2,692]

He had these type of performances for us more than people think, just no one wanted to accept it due to how reliant on him we were in the first two seasons.

I remember getting a fair bit of shtick on here for suggesting he was absolutely terrible in some games for us, Seems as if he is almost getting the Torres treatment now that he is playing so poorly at Man United. Too much "the players around him are trash", and "he needs more help from his teammates" talk. The weird thing is, a lot of it is coming from here as well... lol. You make your own luck and results, and those around you can help, but at the end of the day, it is up to you.

The truth about Mata is, he is a terrific passer and creator with so many glaring weaknesses and holes in his game. He is too small, too weak, too slow, has an average touch, doesn't track back, gets pushed off the ball, is inconsistent and far too often adds artificial value to the game, more so than actually impacting it. You can get a whole lot of average players to do what he does outside of his moments of brilliance, since he isn't someone you fear the whole game.

Still wish we signed Thiago a few seasons back. We were so close. Oh well.

I think many knew it deep down, but if they accept that our best player had glaring weaknesses that would stop him getting in a top top team that would mean admitting our team were pretty shit. Also I think part of the reason people are so defensive for him is because he was the first creative player in after we were gagging for one through the whole of 10/11, our team lacked so much width and creativity it got the point people were suggesting Charles N Zogbia and David Beckham. Heck we were even looking at Ashley Young hitting the ground running at United with extreme envy.

Similar thing with Ramires actually, is it a coincidence his lack of technical abilty has come under more scrutiny since Matic arrived?

Alcantara? Naaa never even close, it was MU vs Bayern

So close was a hyperbole tbh. I do remember his father stating that we tabled a bid or something.
