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

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?!

Means very little, I'd be sure our scout reports on Fellaini pre-Moyes would've be along the lines of avoid at all costs.
Means very little? Like the time United went in for Fellaini but he rejected us?
They all just want new contracts where they are.
Dossiers, we don't need no stinking dossiers. Must think he's Don Revie.
I miss the Fergie days when we never, ever got a transfer wrong.. oh wait
Has anyone posted the pictures of Woody at Stamford Bridge? Think they might be from after the game, but I think he was meeting with Abramovic.
You're missing my point completely.
Yeah it was on somewhere yesterday. He's probably signed a sponsorship deal with Abromovich for Chelsea to be our official shirt sponsor or something.
I think I spotted Moyes at Stamford Bridge during the weekend as well. This is fecking on.
To further your point, I miss the days when we waited for more than 8 appearances before judging whether a player was a good buy or not.
Hadn't we also had extensive tabs on Thiago pre-Moyes as well though? Moyes probably doesn't think Mata is the right player, or some guff.
I think that's the part the majority want to see.
Our points total against the teams above us is pathetically bad and it largely comes down to the terrible system we choose to play.
If Moyes has to change his system...I say fantastic!
I don't see it happening but if it did....

£100 mil is what we need for this to happen, and sweet mother of Mary does it look beautiful.

No.
Maybe. Maybe not. There's definitely a possibility, and I do think Chelsea would see to us for the right price. It's our end of the deal I'd see a snag in...feck, this has gained about 10 pages since Ive been at work, is this really happening now ?
I really hope we could get something out of it player wise rather than just cash. I'd like a Hernandez + 20 million sort of deal.
Make of this what you will, but Miguel Delaney is quite reliable.

Wouldn't say no to that myself. As much as I love the pea and would love to see him go abroad...
Anyone catch balague on revista?
Says he'd be surprised if deal is not concluded

And all we could manage to sign was a former Moyes player?
Fellaini will do alright in a rigid role once we bring some quality in.
A) Usually at this point people jump in to explain why Journalist X is a shithead liar.
B) Even though it's probably never going happen, I do like it whenever we're linked to Vidal. Mata and Vidal in one window. Just imagine...
Cunto's getting dragged in. 
Im not sure how sim,ply selling Mata for 37 million does anything for us at all, other than the ridiculously short sighted notion that it MIGHT mean you take up to 3 points off Arsenal/City.
You need room in your squad for a striker. You currently have 17 over age non homegrown players and that's the max.
That an a whole pile of cash for a player Mourinho thinks shit in his soup.
It gifts you a shed load of money for someone who doesn't play. It allows Mata some playing time before the World Cup. And it's United's marquee signing and generally a much needed lift for everyone at the club.
Unless (assuming Rooney is determined to leave) we also agreed not to block a fair bid from ye in the summer? Everyone wins in that scenario, I think.
Well, it gets you 37 million. But then I guess such trifles means little to you, eh?
Someone else mentioned it, but a pre-summer deal for Rooney with Mata joining us in January would really suit both parties. Although, you rarely see swap-deals.
Chelsea won't play United against this season, except for possibly the Champions League and Mata would be cup-tied anyway. Mata could take points off of Chelsea's rivals with United too distant to catch Chelsea up even if they are somewhat rejuvenated by signing Mata and Chelsea would recieve in excess of £35M for a player who clearly doesn't have a long-term future at the club. Chelsea would finally get the top striker they've craved prepared for next season.
United on the other hand, would have a world-class player capable of firing them back into the top four along with Rooney and van Persie and would also have Rooney's replacements sealed before having to potentially delve into the transfer market in the Summer if they sold Rooney to another suitor.
Win-win for both, but the chances of this happening are extreme to say the least.
If we sign Mata it's as close to a confirmation that Rooney won't be renewing. His best position is that of a central attacking midfielder although I know he's also good as a wide attacking midfielder. Januzaj, Mata and Kagawa behind the striker could be very similar to Oscar, Hazard, Willian at Chelsea.
