Juan Mata

If we negotiate with them that Rooney comes to us in the summer and they indeed just give us ~£40m now, I'd be okay with us using a chunk of that on Shaw this month and saving the rest of it for the summer to go towards someone else.

Exactly Man U wont stay crap forever.Not the best idea to give them a helping hand.Their fans seem a bit surprised at the idea of us selling to them

If we do sell him, i'm 90% sure some of the money will be used to get another AM in. Most likely the left footed winger on the right... Mourinho has been talking about since the summer.

I honestly see no one available for us right now that could improve us/win us the title. We can list names as much as we want but, realistically, top players aren't moving in January. Mata is an exception and that's why United are after him. I don't think we can do the same.

I only see this as weakening us and strengthening United in exchange for cash we can't really do anything significant with in this window. Until I'm proven otherwise, I'm not happy with this transfer at all.

Arjen Robben ? Would be pretty smart.

As if Mourinho is dumb enough to go into the second half of the season with 4 players for 3 positions. Either we get someone prolific in return or this is not happening.

Seeing all the mancs with their cocks out is hilarious though.

the only mancs with cocks are their female fans

[Gilvorak 3,734]

No we didn't.

We revive them by buying Torres for 50 mill.

Then to add that it is Suarez the one keeping them afloat.

They spent that on Downing, Adam and Carroll genius.

They didn't become relevant again until after we sold Sturridge to them.

Losing Mata in midseason would be detrimental, even though he is not a 1st teamer. We can't afford to lose him considering the fact that one injury to one of our major attacking players, would leave us with only 3 players for as many postions. When the CL and FA Cup resume, Mata will play feature in at least every other game, so if he performs that will be enough to warrant a place in Brazil. This argument is a bit hypocritical anyway. He will go there no matter what happens and he will only play a few minutes at the World Cup, cos he is not good enough to make the starting lineup and offers nothing the starters don't to be effective coming of the bench.

The only way I see Mata leaving this month is a Rooney+cash (at least 15m ) or when anyone offers crazy money. When Bale is worth 100m, Mata should be at least half that. He might not be in Jose's plans, but we miss his set pieces and his creativity at times. With Matic at the club and the wingers covering we should have enough defensive cover to remedy his defensive limits, but he remains maybe the best passer and technician in the team and you just don't sell those players, at least not during the season.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

He would be the wrong signing for United, there traditionally built on wing play and stretching teams out wide and crossing it in for the 2 strikers, this would be Moyes trying to make a big statement, don't get me wrong Mata would do ok there in in himself but he will be competing with Januzaj and Kagawa for one place.

Kuba would be the perfect signing for United.

So let me guess because i haven't said he is the best player ever someone will twist everything i have just said to make it look like i don't like Mata

Clubs change philosophies all the time. Traditional wing play is increasingly becoming outdated.

Struggling Premier League champions United have now confirmed to Mirror Sport that they are stepping up their pursuit of £40m-rated Mata. It is understood they will offer him a four-year deal to quit Chelsea.

and to the people talking about "replacements" for mata...who is available a week before the window closes? just say 1 name that is realistic.

[zolayes 14,489]

if by buying Mata ..United managed 4th place ,,, HOW much would that be worth ... not only the income from next years CL but protection of their share value ,

it could be worth as much as £350 million ,,,yes 10 times their bid ...

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Cant believe there are people here that actually want us to swap Mata for Rooney.

First of all we dont even need to offer them Mata. If they want to be cunts and keep a player who wants to leave, then fucking let them.

Secondly, why would we sell this kind of player to a rival? They are still possible contenders, theoretically, plus Mata will hugely strenghten their squad for a number of seasons.

ALSO, It makes me ABSOLUTLEY PUKE the way some people here are speaking about Mata. CLEARLY you've forgotten what hes done here in Chelsea. There are a number of plastic fans here. He is without a doubt one of the best players we've got and the fact that some people are speaking as if Mata is a disabled child that cannot adapt (to our current system) makes me even more sick. He needs playtime. That with the fact that we've probably straighten out our DM now with Matic will allow Mata to play in his actual positon where he shines.

I know we're in need of a striker, but honestly Id rather see us splash more money on someone else.
