Mata | Mourinho says it's just a Mata of time
- Thread starter Suedesi

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Neville talked about the positives of the move, how he's a fantastic player and wouldn't fit into the current and typical United system. But that perhaps we are looking to play with narrower wingers - something we have done with Kagawa this season.
He didn't say anything wrong.

Deny it, then muppet suicide, this place will be a completely diffeerent place come 10..and if we lose too
Ray Wilkins ?
If Kenny Strickland or Obi Mikel don't count then Veron.
Mourinho must have a plan out of all of this.
The only alternative is that Chelsea really are scared of FFP and are operating accordingly.

Has Moyes got something against the word and?
TBF to Nev he did say a signing like Mata would lift the squad but believes we should strengthen in other areas first - a sentiment I agree with (wingers/CMFs). But I do think this might signal the change in our style of play from wingers to a 4231 formation which would be pleasing on the eyes.
That said we still need someone to partner Carrick in midfield, heres to hoping Fletcher is up for it!
It could very well be FFP forcing their hand somewhat.
Shut up Irwin! I'm just trying to be a muppet like all of you guys.Half of it doesn't even rhyme when not sang in a stupid French accent.
That's it, next transfer window I'm not meddling with you people, you've hurt my feelings.
Stupid French accent yourself, English is my mother tongue! Sacrebleu.
Wow, that was bloody well long ago!
I love reading your posts.
We sold them Veron.
Or he sees that Mata is surplus to requirements and has no objection to helping us strengthen our squad given they will not play us again this season (and if we meet in the UCL it would be without Mata anyway) but it may impact results against the other teams challenging for the league.
Keep your cocks on ice lads.
Is it weird that the fact almost everyone considers this basically a done deal scares me more than if we'd been told to feck off?
Not Scottish enough
Right I left the internet for an hour. Did I miss anything?
Look at the last page of the shed end forum. There's an 'ITK' saying Rooney has been spotted at Chelsea's training ground
Did we not sell Veron to Chelsea?
I suspect FFP and squad numbers is the real reason. If so then I'll doff my cap to them.
Could be worse and have a stupid half Southern half Northern Irish accent like myself.
Height isn't everything.
what does it say? Can't read as i'm at work.
Yes, but there's always next season.
It's just too short-termist for words. It can't be happening. He's gone mad.
Yeh sorry I read the post wrong. They were all United -> Chelsea transfers of course.
A few mates at work, who are mostly Liverpool fans still refuse to believe this is happening. To be honest, I still find it hard to believe. If somebody told me we'd be signing Mata a year ago, I'd have recommended they see a doctor.

Fairthorne is a bullshitter.
We don't use the Birdgewater anymore do we? Carrington can do it all there now.
Did Mata really get 35 assists last year?
What Mata does starting from the left for a season
I think it was this season he had 13 league assists playing from the left of Valencia's 4-2-3-1. Only Xavi had more assists (Ronaldinho where were you?) and on top of that he scored 11 goals.
I'm not sure we'll use him from the left, but this is why its a joke anytime someone suggests he can't play from a wide position. What we're a bit more likely to do is play him in the hole behind one of RVP and Rooney. Like Mourinho, Moyes likes his defensive wingers

yup. not worried.
I prefer "SSN understands" instead of "Sky sources".

Surely we've got at least one competent doctor who can do the medical at Carrington before Friday
It makes too much sense for Chelsea to do a deal. If we can nick a point of City, that could be the difference between Chelsea winning the league or not
To be fair, if somebody told you a year ago that we'd be now lying mid-table with Moyes in charge, you'd have been laughed out of the asylum.
I'm genuinely loving this season. So unpredictable and thoroughly absorbing.
When its being reported on Sky, BBC, Telegraph, Guardian, Mail, ESPN, CNN....why does some cnut called @ManU_NewsBLP, or whatever, think that people following the saga won't believe it until HE confirms it under the banner 'Breaking news' ?
