Has anyone got a link to that press conference? I can't find it anywhere.
 
He's as close to Fergie as there is.

He's got the midas touch, the strong will, the arrogance, he plays the media like a fiddle and he's a brilliant man manager - although has high profile fallings out with individuals.

Dare I say it, would Fergie have really wanted to see a Manager taking over the helm who has the potential to match his European Cup record with United while he is still alive? I love the man as much as my own Granddad but there's no point denying there isn't an ego there that is very proud of his legacy.

If you reached any further you'd snap your ACL
 
Anyone think the 'third party' was Fergie and Gill, given they were at the Chelsea game and shook hands with Roman?
 
He didn't actually. He was asked was a fee agreed and he just replied that Mata had been given permission to have a medical with United.

He did. Plenty of times. Said the offer was very good, respectable to Chelsea and to a player like Mata.
 
Which doesn't mean they've already accepted it though.
Seems a bit odd to have your manager tell the world things will happen soon, theyre happy with the offer and he hopes he does well at United unless the deal is imminent or the offer has pretty much been accepted.

Unless we're talking the structure of the deal/the old add-ons.
 
When you say the price is right and very good, you can't really keep negotiating about the price, can you?
I dunno, maybe they also want a sample of sperm from Fred the Red or Fellaini fridge magnets.
 
Which doesn't mean they've already accepted it though.

Did you see the presser?

Forget everything that he said which clearly indicated that only a medical is left, the journo actually asked him if the deal was at 37 or 40mil and he said I dont want to say the exact figure and whether its mil less or mil more.
 
I'm surprised at how many pages we've reached.

We marched juan hundred pages and we've marched juan hundred more.
 
Surely the details that need to be decided or agreed upon are just the likes of how the money will be paid, extras for appearances, goals, top 4.
 
How funny would it be if any other Chelsea manager bar Jose tried to do this and convince the fans its for the best :lol:
 
Love how every other manager and fans are bricking this move.
 
Anyone read Paul Wilson's op-ed piece about Mata in the Guardian? Dont bother, its a pile of bollocks saying he will be under too much pressure because we are relying on him to be a one man rescue mission to save us from total collapse.
Yeah was a good laugh though, we're well stocked for wingers apparently.
 
Hope the deal is confirmed before this thread hits 200 pages :smirk:
403 in the noobs. Mind you, they started a day earlier than us, so prob about right.

EDIT: scratch that, they started one month and 3 days after us. :eek:
