When you buy a player of Mata's class it does not matter. What United needed more than anything last season was a dominant CM too, but instead they bought RVP and won the league. Arsenal did not need Ozil, but they bought him and are top of the league. Players of that quality transform teams.lancs blue said:supercrystal7 said:Nightmare situation. This is like the RVP to United and the Ozil to Arsenal. The two teams I hate most in the Premiership on the verge of missing out on the CL and falling out of the top 4 then two very stupid clubs go and save them.LoveCity said:The papers say Real will go for Rooney, because they can't get their #1 target Aguero.
Mata could be a United player before they play Cardiff the press are saying, a few million difference between valuations right now.
It's just unbelievable why Chelsea would do this. It makes no sense and does not benefit them at all. Mata goes to United and they are guaranteed to get top 4. They get top 4 and Rooney stays. Chelsea fans I have texted are furious with this decision.
I don't buy that at all, what United need more than anything is a dominant box to box CM of the class of Yaya or Schweinsteiger, a player like that allows the Matas of this world to express themselves. Carrick, Cleverley and Jones don't cut it at that level.
Fuck me mate where's the fire?supercrystal7 said:No it makes little difference to Chelsea, but Mata is still arguably their best player. Mata is much better than either Rooney or Kagawa as a 10. Even if Moyes is stupid and decides to waste on him the wing he is still a infinitely better than all their options. It's just like Ozil going to Arsenal. Yes you can make nonesense claims about how Carzola could do the job Ozil does, but it's wrong. Mata will give all the players a huge boost and then greatly increase the quality of their player.Stoned Rose said:Very desperate panic buy by the scum.
Basically it strengthens Chelsea as they'd be 'losing' a player who hardly ever plays and it's would be handing them 35ish million to fund a top striker with.
Mental.
Also mata plays in the hole. So do Rooney and kagawa. They don't need another player who performs this role.
Mental.It's like this summer all over again.Big Dave Watson said:I feel severely pissed off at this news.

As things stand Mata is probably still a better player than Hazard.
