I'm not 100% convinced yet, but the thought of us actually having a player of Mata's quality taking our free kicks is wonderful. De Gea will be glad that he'll only have to attempt to save them in training. 
Mata | Mourinho says it's just a Mata of time
- Thread starter Suedesi

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?!

Of all the skills he would bring to the table you're most excited about his free kicks!?
They are pretty tasty though.
That Guardian article gives me hope.
Yet more good news* from the Chelsea forum!:

He would be an excellent signing because he'd unlock defenses from wide areas, something we're lacking badly.
However, I'm not getting sucked into this yet.

I'm not most excited about his free kicks, but I was just thinking that it'll be nice to have that fear factor back when we're taking them in dangerous areas. Rooney has improved, but Mata is even better at them.
Just do it. As Nike would say.
You're revealing your Muppet ways here Steve! Scouring the Chelsea forum's for scraps of information! A mere mortal after all!
Certainly better then Smashley

Noooooooooooo. My source just happens to be someone I've never met or spoken to, who posts on a Chelsea forum!
At this moment in time, I don't care if he's not the central midfielder we all want and need.
Mata oozes quality and if the interest is real, we shouldn't pass up on this opportunity to sign a genuinely world class player.
Let's hope we get some good news tomorrow.

I wonder if we're trying to sign him before the semi-final, to lift the fans?
We would definitely want it done before the next set of PL fixtures, simply as a boost to both players and fans.
Good job it isn't JT then. Could you imagine...he would get the full kit on come the final whistle if we won.
Is it not FA cup this weekend?. If so wouldn't any transfer be done by the next PL games as the deadline would be passed?
That would have worked with Calderón still in charge.Decided to start getting excited about this one now and watched a YouTube.
His movement and delivery from the right should have been making me excited but it's just making me think painfully about what we've been dealing with out the with Valencia.
If we sign him, I want him on the right cutting in. None of that "hug the line" bullshit. Let him play his game there. Having him on one wing and Januzaj on the other will give us such a balance threat wise, it'll make us dangerous again.

Is it? Didn't know that. All I want is a peaceful deadline day with all our deals done.
It's fecking happening lads, feck me. Good man, Andy Mitten. What forum is that? Can I join? I won't blab...
The Premier League continues next Wednesday and deadline day is on Friday.
That's the crux of it all, isn't it? People are underrating him at the moment because Mourinho (for whichever stupid reason) doesn't rate him.
I personally would love this deal to happen because Mata is too good a player to be rotting on the bench. Mourinho is about to make a foolish mistake IMO.

UWS. He's doesn't bullshit anyone so it's looking good.
Thought that about Modric constantly since his move to Real. He's getting more game time this season?
Had a look there, it's all private the private bastards!
I like Andy Mitten, his articles are good and he doesn't spout shit.
I think this will happen. But I think if it does it means you'll be losing Rooney in the summer.
RVP, Januzaj and Mata are all left footed. That would make a change from Young and Valencia who have 4 right feet between them.
How about playing him as a false 9?
---Valencia---Giggs---Young
---------------Mata----------

What the hell is that?
feck, this could actually happen couldn't it?
Why you gotta be like that?
Wait so this could actually seriously be happening? Dismissed it as just the press for ages, but is there real legs to this?
Yup, I'm all aboard on this one. I don't think Martin Samuel would write a personal comment piece with such conviction unless he was very confident of it going through.
My cock is out.
Yes, real possibility. Respected journalists with the Times and Telegraph are reporting it. As are Sky.
like Donkey Kong, Dragon Slayer.
