Mata | Mourinho says it's just a Mata of time

The fact he's had more impact in less gametime than Oscar makes this even more exceptional, dream signing for us really. It's a terrible judgement really given your now one injury away from a right fecking mess, I am still utterly shocked this is done.
Cheers Rob and send thanks to any Chelsea supporters you might know too. Thanks all round.
Aye, I posted that in the Koke thread a few weeks back, seeing as his paternal surname is indeed 'Ressurreción'.
Anyone else thinking that we've agreed to let Rooney go the other way?
De Gea
yep
Not sure what to think of this one. Central midfield is the priority, but then again the signing of someone like Mata can't be a bad thing. Still think it's crazy the extent to which Chelsea have underused him since he's a fantastic player.
Genuinely nice guys never are.
Wouldn't say so. Maybe we said they can have first dibs as long as they pay up - but if we get a mission going for the top 4 now, we could get Rooney to stay. Signing Mata will only excite Rooney surely? I mean, the team he "wants" to join, has just lost Juan Mata to us.
Twittersphere and all the decent papers saying the deal is done.
Can't believe we've gone from initial interest to signing so quickly. Seems it is rather easy when you just pay asking price and don't go in at 50% of asking and expect it to be accepted.

Ffs
I was thinking outfield to be fairIs this confirmed anywhere? Seems a done deal reading it here but cant see it anywhere.
Yes.
Yes.
Nope, he got quoted.
I'd check for a fine print that allows them to buy him back for half the price
SSN going with the "said goodbye to friends" bit on the 'ol yeller ticker.
Is this honestly happening, then? I can't see anything definite on the SkySports website.
I refuse to believe it. I've been hurt before.

Even if we have, the value sets a precedent for what they'd have to offer for Rooney. No more derisory bids of 25m for a player much more valuable from a marketing and playing standpoint.
And much older, and on higher wages.
No.
Though it would be hilarious if we told them we'd let them have Rooney in the summer and then the day after signing Mata we announced Rooney had signed a new contract with us.
You better start your warm-up for your earthen marathon.

Meanwhile, we're hanging on at home to a shite Sunderland side. This signing is badly needed.
Only 3 years and wages won't mean a thing since he's going to a much richer club.
Nope, I think if that was the case we would have known by now or something would have been mentioned about it. Signing Mata should only excite Rooney anyway, sure this is what he has wanted all along, big names, signings with intent.
Sky sources reveal that he's already unhappy with training methods at United.
lol.
I'm not stoked by this transfer, but then again, I wasn't by rvp either.

Can we make sure Mata doesn't see this performance before he signs?
Of course Mata could be looking at the Sunderland game right now thinking. "feck this. They are shite, Im not going to play for them. cnuts."
Apparently Mourinho wants Mohammed Saleh now. Liverpool fans have been saying he's been in bag to sign for them since the start of December.
Is he the fella that plays for Basle? If so I think he is a cracking player.
Yep
Seriously, they're going to kill our mood by announcing Ashley Young has singed a new 5 year deal.
You didn't read the white text in it right?
To hell with white texts!
How can you not be excited by the signing of big players? Forget the fact you may think we might need strengthening more in other areas, it's one of the best things as a fan when your club signs a world class player.
Glad we got this done fast. This Sunderland game is putting me to sleep
Thank feck you are not in charge of our transfers then!
Not what we need.
Not particularly impressed by this, especially if it forces Young out, which would be ludicrous.
Waste of money imo.
Only fecking kidding.......cock out, big time!!!!!!
