I don't think there's any signing in world football that could please me more than this.
We're getting a fantastic player, Liverpool are fecked over by Chelsea and subsequently might miss out on top four as a direct result, Wenger's pissed off and it gives the whole club a lift.
It's fecking brilliant. I'm buzzing. I never really dared to believe this would happen.
It's basically the perfect deal for us.
Aye, I sensed that too. He was being very diplomatic but at the same time maybe he is preparing another Rooney bid in the summer.
I just watch football, not listen to what the players say.He speaks perfect English, are you just aware of who the guy is?
It's one last desperate attempt at stopping Rooney signing that deal. I just hope he's already put crayon to paper.
He speaks better English than Rooney.He speaks perfect English, are you just aware of who the guy is?
That surprises me. I would have thought he's the sort to want to break every single managerial record to have ever existed given his massive ego.No chance now that he's Chelsea manager. Also, he apparently intends to retire by sixty and wants to manage Portugal before he retires. Doesn't leave him much time to manage us in between.
Two things could be happening here:
1. He is selling us Mata and talking all this good shit because come summer they will be coming in for Rooney.
2. He is trying to strengthen us (and weaken chelski) because he is taking over as manager in the summer!
This thread (and mourinho) has truly mind fecked me.
Another perspective....

Could be worse, could be another Andy Carroll I guess.
All that could change now of course, but I reckon he knows he'll be chasing Guardiola his entire career.That surprises me. I would have thought he's the sort to want to break every single managerial record to have ever existed given his massive ego.
It is a shite article, point by point it is just complete nonsense.Jesus... stopped reading at "United could have had the real Özil, not just an out-of-favour imitation".
Right, Mata is just an imitation Ozil... that's what everybody has always said, right?
And Ozil definitely wasn't out of favour, was he? Arsenal had to battle tooth and nail to get Madrid to give their prize asset up, IIRC.
Is he gonna take number 7 or 8?

In terms of trophies, isn't guardiola chasing him?All that could change now of course, but I reckon he knows he'll be chasing Guardiola his entire career.
Are we expecting Chelsea fans to throw pig heads at him?Anyone get reminded of this (and not just for the fee)?

Sorry yeah, but Pep has time on his hands and a much better team to boot.In terms of trophies, isn't guardiola chasing him?
That's definitely the next step.Are we expecting Chelsea fans to throw pig heads at him?
Mata, 69?Not sure if he reads the caf, tweet him your offer you might stand a better chance.
That's not the biggest accomplishment though, is it?He speaks better English than Rooney.

The free has-been injury prone Messi-like god compared with shitty old Juan Mata? Is he fo'real though?I also love:
It is already being suggested that far from emulating Özil, Mata's move to United could have more in common with Joe Cole's unhappy transfer to Liverpool.
Is it? By who exactly? Oh, you the author of the article. I see.
Well, it is also already being suggested that Paul Wilson has written a tabloid level piece of crap.
I know it's cool to hate the Moyesiah - but why is he not getting any credit for getting Mata to United?
Superb signing, yet Mourinho is getting more credit from you lot for selling him?

What in the feck is this shit? Last paragraph isn't bad.
Does Moyes even know we're signing him?
