Mata ... Available ..... Really ?

[celticfc482]

I assume hes played in the capital one cup already so therefore he'd be cup tied if they were to make it to the final? (If he signs)

 

[ManCityJordan]

Come on Monaco, stop pissing about.

I will develop an intense hatred for Chelsea if they do this. Surely a foreign club would pay much more than this for Mata.

It's absolutely insane.

Ditto
But it doesn´t surprise me with those two coonts ruling the roost at Chav central

Mou is just a despicable bully and coward

Chelsea have played Man Yoo home and away.

Smart to strengthen Man Yoo with Mata when they still have to play City and Arsenal.

Dontyathink?

Stupid decision for Chelsea's longterm success if true.

Exactly, not going to happen, I'll put my house on it

The amount of incontinence brought on by this latest speculation is of grave cause for concern for every thread below it.

If it means winning the title....who cares?

They'll be back in the market splashing cash in the summer.

They fear City, so if they can beat City as champions, it will empower their summer signings.

They fear your club as well. They vetoed Demba Ba's loan move.

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.

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.

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

As has been mentioned by others, where are they going to play him? If they persist with their 4-4-1-1 then when Van Persie and Rooney are fit Rooney plays in the No.10 role which is Mata's natural position, pushing Mata wide limits his options in the same way United have misused Kagawa. And they can't change to a 4-3-3 formation as they don;t have a good enough centre midfield to play it.

Kagawa is a very good player, but he is no Mata. Even if Moyes is stupid enough to persist with Rooney as 10 over Mata it still won't negate Mata's impact. Unlike Kagawa, Mata has fantastic delivery and can still be very effective out wide. The problem is he leaves that side completely exposed. Will count against United against the likes of City and possibly Arsenal, but not enough against everyone else.

Rooney lacks creativity now. Players evolve and Rooney now is just a no 9. Yeh he can drop deep, but all he does is spray the ball out wide. He never creates anything through the middle. Kagawa is very dependent on the system. He needs the team to play quick passing football with lots of movement. Mata is someone who consistently creates chances out of nothing. Even if he starts out wide he can still come inside.

Mata is basically a player on the level of Silva. Mata creates more chances, scores more goals and is more direct. Silva gives you more control of the game, more possession and can better defensively. How would you feel if United were signing a Silva clone?

PSG have money and want a creative player. It would be great if PSG bought Mata and then United got Pastore.

Best case scenario United just buy Baines and Mata goes to say Dortmund.

If Man Yoo buy Mata, they will have to change formation to 4-2-3-1

De Gea

Back Four

Carrick Cleverley?

Januzaj Rooney Mata

Man Yoo are desperate

They will pay €40m for Mata
