Juan Mata

This is payback for rooney and the summer!

Payback would be if we just waited a week and then sold him to PSG for same money, meanwhile grabbing someone they also want(Shaw)

United knocked out by Sunderland and Jose calling the deal off would just be

I hope Mata knows what he just got himself into.

That Penalty shootout was probably the worst thing I've ever seen.

He's the best no. 10 at the club by a distance so I'd rather he stayed but he's too good to be sitting on the bench every week. If the best way to secure regular playing time is by moving club then good luck to him.

Shame he never got a good run of games playing behind the striker this season to show us what we all know he can do.

Is it weird that I feel bad for Juan that he's joining that medicore team?

[Barbara 15,149]

and we're supposed to believe Mata will fix that team and get them a top4 spot? I know we call him a magician all the time, but I thought that was a figure of language.

Juan Mata has just phoned Jose Mourinho and asked if his place on the bench is still available

[sdrcfc 461]

There's a difference between being the best number 10 at the club and being the most fitting number 10 in regards to formation/style. Personally, I'd prefer the latter.

they are 6 points of 4. it aint the world and Rooney+RVP are coming back.

NOW is the time we tell Manure the deal can't be done until we have made OUR signing

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Wouldnt playing Rooney push Mata to the wings too though?

Rooney is at his best playing off the Striker and that is Mata's best position too. Leaving Evra or Rafael wide open on the wings would be suicide.

Wrong thread, but, English people suck at penalties (Except Super).

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

How about do all of that and sell Mata to a different team in the summer?

That would fuck up the entire plan. We'd get less money for Mata meaning less money to spend.

Also we wouldn't be able to get Costa/Shaw in the january window.

I completely disagree!

I honestly think there would be clubs desperately enough to bid 30mi or so (not 37, but close enough). Even United would be more desperate if they miss UCL!

But that is just a feeling and we will have to agree to disagree because there is no way one can convince one another...

Which clubs are you talking about ? What clubs have that kind of money, actually need Mata and would be willing to build the team around him ?

Disagree with your comment about man united being more desperate in the summer. atm they're in serious danger of missing out on CL football next season that's a big blow financially.

Don't think they can get get more desperate then they are now.

didn't realize they were so close to Liverpool. Well, I still believe Mata won't fix ManUtd - which was my primary point. It requires magic to do as such. He'll improve them, but they're still awful. And let's not forget the clueless guy bossing them. I'm not even sure Moyes knows how to maximize a player like Mata or simply use him at all.
