It's safe to say that the mooted Welbeck swap hasn't gone down well on the Blues board:
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?!

Cheeky bastardsSadly Jose is one of the few managers that could easily get away with it.
Unless he is planning on following him
No wait, why sell us a footballer he hates to only follow him later?Damn.
That's funny, considering he's scored more goals than all of their strikers. They can keep their 10 goals between the 3 of them.
He didn't he took it from a paper rumour. Basically he tweets eevery rumour going from everywhere. I knew the Mata rumours before he tweeted them. Then he claims his inside sources.
Mourinho was the one advocating selling to rival clubs in the summer, declaring it the norm in Italy and that England could do with a similar approach.
Considering their lack of grandiose legends, I'm not surprised they want Charlton.
I do wonder if he has ever even retweeted anything correctly, let alone get something from a "source".
If Merinho was willing to bench Mata practically all season, he'd surely be willing to flog him to United-in-crisis FC.
Mata, Januzaj and Nani would be a quality attacking line playing behind Rooney or RVP.
It is the norm here. I've said it so many times but people won't accept the facts. For every on transfer blocked between big UK clubs there's 10 that go through. It's not as big an issue as muppets would have you believe. One of those things like swaps that don't actually happen.
My feelings exactly.
Me 'n' @iSparky deserve Victoria crosses then.Mods should start awarding purple hearts for wounds inflicted during different transfer sagas.
And for £30million+ for an unwanted player. Serious wedge!
... And then denying Ba moving to us on loan as he thought Ozil made us contenders.
Oi. I'm fecking leading the way with this one and after trusting your leadership in the summer I don't know if I could recover from another one.
He doesn't want to play Mata. What Mourinho really needs now is a strong resurgent United who still have games against City and Arsenal. Selling him to us actually makes a lot of sense.
Was unaware of that. But surely he was just saying this to unsettle Rooney seeing as he was chasing him all summer?
I have a 100% record on my muppet targets,
Does Thiago ring a bell??
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was a response to a Rooney question at the time. But I still think Mourinho would feel comfortable selling to us, there doesn't seem to be many other options.
I agree. This way he can be United's savior even after missing out on the job.
Do you think there will be done provision to allow for Rooney to move the other way at the end of the season?
We pulled out of that rather than missed out-----sadly.
We're not contenders.
so basically what you are saying is you are his sauce...... Damnit I wasnt coming back in here tonight
I am not saying this deal will be done, I just can't see it as much as I would love it.
However, I wouldn't put it past Mourinho's arrogance to sell to us and label us no longer a rival.

With all this exciting transfer activity, the Star is going to struggle for ridiculous made-up hyped headlines. Maybe they'll go with 'Moyes seeks Sex-change!' or 'United land on Mars'.
Was that ever actually reported by the likes of the telegraph?
I have a strange feeling Rooney to Madrid.
Nani - Kagawa - Mata
------- RvP ------
------- RvP ------
We're going back in for Obertan?
Some apparent ITK has just told me that Chelsea initially wanted Rooney but will now settle for cash and Zaha.
Surely not?
Surely not?
José seems quite desperate to flog Our Juan. That'll teach him for being mates with Rafa B.
Still think this is complete bollocks and a good method to work up interest from elsewhere.
£12 million and Zaha should do it. Mourinho doesn't have any daughters, does he?Some apparent ITK has just told me that Chelsea initially wanted Rooney but will now settle for cash and Zaha.
Surely not?
It'll be Bebe and a packet of crisps next.
I presume he's not eligible for the CL?
