Juan Mata

[Tomo 21,733]

"does not defend" its like everyone has been trained into a mindless to simply repeat the sentence irrespective of the argument.

we won the bloody CL with him defending on the pitch.

there is a difference in saying who is better for the team and then to simply ridicule a player who has given his everything for the club for the last 2 seasons and now has been treated like dog-crap.

and that is exactly what has happened to mata here. no one including me is saying that hazard-oscar-willian is not working and is not better than any combo that jose has tried so far this season. but to say that mata was given a fair chance is simply crap. if he had been given a fair chance, he would have played against derby to show his worth for the team.

I have not once seen Mata get ridiculed, the only time its even suggested is when the hardcore "Mata is bigger than the club " fanbase show up and twist people's words.

I once said that we can't base him being the best player in 11 12 as a reason to build the team around him because as a TEAM UNIT we were crap for 80 percent off the season, which someone translated as me blaming Mata for us struggling that season, and that's not the only time it has happened.

It's hard to take the hardcore JM fanbase seriously when they keep inaccuratly quoting you and twisting everything to make it look like you hate Mata.

Fuck sake.

No interview with Moyes after the game? Whats that all about, does he still have a press conference to do?

[zolayes 14,489]

It seems obvious Roman has let Jose make this decision ,, If it does prove to be a mistake then Jose wont have the same freedom next time.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Bye Mata.

As much as I like you, I wish you no success with United.

Mata to have medical tomorrow

[The Skipper 20,593]

I can't believe we are actually doing this.

[sdrcfc 461]

Please don't leave Mata!

And if you do, you can only play well against Chelsea's rivals.

[Blue Armour 4,278]

salah... hahahahahahaha... oh i just cant stop laughing. seriously.

kdb and mata sold to buy salah. oh dear fucking god!!!

Salah...lol...didn't he play for Steua or something.? CoULdn't find anyone else...

[sdrcfc 461]

Can we at least sign Rooney now? Or even throw a sneaky bid at Suarez. Costa? Anyone decent...

[Beepu 1,714]

This is a terrible start to my day. Unbelievable that we are even considering selling him to man utd. It is not the end of the world, we are getting on great without him playing a key role. But it will still sting quite abit, he is player of the year for the last 2 seasons. That fact alone speaks volume on how much we value Juan.

[Leif 6,006]

If United play Mata they'll be even more defensively vulnerable. We know this. We've experienced this. It's not like they're signing Hazard.

[duo11bluecl 207]

Mata is not good at penalty, don't worry guys he won't improve them much

[bababoom 4,478]

Apparently Jose wants Ross Barkley in the summer, doubt it considering we have Oscar.. but Jose does love his English players.

[Korea 734]

Does this mean Rooney or RVP is gone this summer?

[bababoom 4,478]

Can we at least sign Rooney now? Or even throw a sneaky bid at Suarez. Costa? Anyone decent...

Reports coming out he wants to stay at united now and will sign a new deal after Mata deal is sorted.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

No Moyes interview or PC yet?
