right I may be going over the top on this one but I think if we do manage to bring in Mata this could be a transfer very similar to the cantona deal for us i.e. it will be one that gives us a right kick up the arse and would certainly give everyone in the club and the fans a huge lift. I also think we will bring in coentrao and if by some miracle we forked out for vidal as well then holy jesus....
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?!

Players like Mata are too good to be sat on the bench. I think it's likely that he is going to leave at some point. Admittedly, selling to United would be unforeseen, but if it allows you to get good money for an unhappy player and put that towards the striker you need, plus if we do actually take points off your direct rivals, it could be a very good move.
Guys dont do it to yoursleves.
Not necessarily, van Persie isn't getting any younger and it's obvious Moyes has made Rooney the main man. Mata behind Rooney is a possibility.
Yeah, if it is a deal with Rooney though, this is by no means a certainty. I would rather have Hernandez as a certainty now.
I've always found him fairly accurate and he's not one to blow things out of proportion or cause a stir anyway.
It's too good to be true unfortunately.
Agreed, but we need that striker in January like you need Mata in January, not in the summer.
Would Hernandez want to go to chelsea and sit on the bench there too?
Brace Yourself for more "its diffuclt to bring player in january" comments instead.
Why would signing Mata guarantee Rooney leaving? Why wouldn't Rooney fit instead of Kagawa in that formation?
Given that Moyes seems completely unconvinced by Kagawa, it seems strange to assume he'd intend to build him into the future of the club rather than Rooney.

He'd be their best striker?
I know its a tweet but considering who it references MataOFF the deal is doomed
If Rooney is intent on leaving then none of that matters. Kagawa, by all accounts, wants to stay here.
What does it say? I'm at work and it doesn't show up.
Balague was right about Coentrao last week.
Everyone's favourite fecktard, Balague, has confirmed negotiations between United and Chelsea regarding Mata are under way. The kiss of death.
ah.He would start every game.
Ballague says it's on, thus it's actually off.
Eventually he'll realise we never sign any of the players he links with us and will start writing off every potential signing. Then we'll have hope...
Rooney wanted to leave after winning the title last summer, now we're sitting at 7th having to wait for clubs above us to collapse before we can get a top 4 spot. By this time next year he can talk to any club and sign on a pre-contract like Lewandowski did with Bayern.
I wonder if there could be an agreement such as we sign Mata in January, and Rooney moves to you lot in the summer. There's not a hope we could let Rooney leave right now..
I can't see it. Maybe but I just don't think he'd be the level you need.
I am with you , not getting excited until I see him holding a United shirt after signing a contract.
Ballague was right about Coentrao. He was right about Fabregas as well.
JuON Mata
JuON Mata
Hope it happens...Moyes needs this as much as the team does. Would be a great signing for him
His overall game wouldn't be of the utmost importance at Chelsea given your midfield, but it's still questionable to suggest saying he'd start for Chelsea.
I can't believe I'm getting dragged into this I'm almost at full muppet stage now (horrible memories of the thiago thread coming flooding back)
The same Ballbag that said we'd signed Herrera. Or have you lot forgotten that?
And Ronaldo.
You needent worry. We most likely won't be playing us again before next season - so there's little chance of him scoring against you.
Here lads, I think it's time to go full muppet on this.
I haven't felt this ON since ThiagON.
Falcao on a pre-contract.
This is never going to happen.
He's been poor this season but he's probably scored nearly as much as all their strikers combined.
I haven't felt this ON since ThiagON.
My heart still hasn't mended since Thiago slipped through our collective muppet fingers. I even refused to watch any of his Youtube compilations until the day he signed. I've still not watched them
Not sure about that, although he's probably on eto'o's level right now (haven't seen too much of him this season to be honest, but he was good against united obviously). He'd play more then he currently does but he wouldn't be clearly first choice IMO like you need. I love him and he'd probably score bucket loads for you, I just think it's more likely you lot bring in cavani or falcao or Rooney.
Fear no more, lads. Alistard has spoken:
