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

[Ireland_for_pm]

Mata's not going to the rags.

This is thiago 2.0

This happens all the time with the rags, it's got to be someone in the utd camp briefing this to the press. Getting the fans to stick by moyes going after a big player when it's just bullshit. Must be fucking frustrating being a fan.

From Mata's point of view he wants to be playing regular football as he wants to go to the world cup. Currently he isn't getting many minutes with Chelsea so I can see his way of thinking. However from a Chelsea point of view why would you want to strengthen a team now that by all accounts will spend big in the summer to try and force their way back to the top. Do they think that scum are paying way over the odds? Do they think they will buy shrek in the summer and this is a quid pro quo? Or do Chelsea think a foreign team will come in and bid the same amount if they let it be known Mata is available. Who has briefed the press, scum, Chelsea or the agents?

If United want to spend £35m on Mata then so be it. To me it smacks of desperation to spend that much on a player who if I am honest I don't think Moyes will have a clue what to do with him, and he's cup tied for the Champions League!

If you listen to anything that Jurgen Klopp has said on the Kagawa situation it is obvious that they already have a class attacking midfielder on their books but have no earthly idea how to play him or create a system that gets the best out of him, good luck to them I say.

chelski aren't stupid, they've played United twice already this season now they are selling them a quality player (who they dont need) who will help Utd take points off Chelsea's rivals for the title....they dont have to worry about strenghtnening the Utd squad as they are not challening this year .

Can't see united being the only club in for him

 

[schfc6]

All this media hype around United a great player. Deal getting close blah blah...

Yet the only thing confirmed, no bid has been made!!

How terrible woudl it be for the rags if Mourinho put the stops on this at the 11th hour? But he would never do that...

Maybe he will go on the proviso that Rooney goes to Chelsea at the end of the season.

People need to get a grip. We cannot buy everyone. We cannot stop other teams buying good players.

Surely this would weaken Chelsea, with Champions league starting again soon, they like to play 3 behind the striker, Oscar Willian and Hazard, but with de Byrne gone this would leave them without cover and an injury to one or more of those 3 would leave them short.
