Juan Mata

[darrus 422]

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.

It's probably the worst part of this deal. He's wasting Kagawa and there's a big chance Mata won't be better off there than in Chelsea. At least Mourinho knew what exactly he wanted from Mata and made it clear (and I'm still convinced Mourinho's way was Mata's best chance to get into Spanish NT, but I understand why Mata wanted to leave). But Moyes is clueless! I can just imagine something like "You go play #10. Oh no, we're still playing sh*t, go play on the right! Damn, doesn't help, go play defence. Ah, we still lost, go play attacker. And we're still sh*t, so you're useless!" type of managing from Moyes, and it saddens me.

United need about 5-6 players.

Utd need a LB, 2 CB's 2 CM's, LW, RW, Manager and some fries with that

dont see a reason why they cant "out score" teams.

but anyways... fuck those cunts... got what they deserved today...

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.

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.

All your questions are pretty easy to answer, one doesnt even need to think much...

Clubs that might go for Mata in the summer? PSG, Monaco, Real, Atletico, ManUtd, Inter, etc. PSG needs a CAM, Pastore and Lucas arent being able to get the job done and there are a lot of rumours about them leaving or being loaned out. Monaco might want Mata if they lose Falcao or they could even workout a trade + money deal if we were interested. Real fans (I have family in Madrid) want a CAM to replace Ozil and maybe Di Maria (which can leave RM) and he is Spanish. Atletico might have a lot of cash if they sell Costa, Koke or Turan and they actually do buy replacements for the players they lose. Inter has a new owner, new manager and no quality midfielders, they could be inclined to offer a cheeky 30mi bid. Etc.

About ManUtd, you said they are already overly desperate just with the fear of losing UCL. How do you think they will be if they DO actually miss the top 4? Yes, super desperate!

This excuse that we would only be able to sell Mata in the summer for 20mi is absolutely ridiculous. Although I agree we wouldnt be able to get the 37mi we have right now, we would easily be able to get 30mi or so.

And for Chelsea, losing 7mi in a better deal with a non-rival is better than to handle Mata to Manchester and Moyes...

Juan Mata: Chelsea accept Manchester United's £37m bid

Manchester United have had a bid, believed to be in the region of £37m, accepted by Chelsea for Spanish midfielder Juan Mata.

The 25-year-old will have a medical at Old Trafford on Thursday before completing a move to the Premier League champions.

Mata is expected to sign a four-and-a-half year deal at Old Trafford.

Are we able to use mata money and put a whole lot more money to buy Suarez?

Cause that guy is worth at least 80.....

[AndersonBLUE 819]

This is the most ridiculous thing our board has ever done. Jose what the fuck you doing. Anyone but them.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Mata gone - that fit bird on Sky Sports News Reporting it...

If I was him - I would have done a U-Turn on the M6 - United bottled it against Sunderland LOL

"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?
