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?!

Also his name translates to "Johnny Kills", another massive plus.Yep as well as being a quality player, he has the beard thing going on too which I've mentioned previously.
Best.of.both.worlds.
This is exactly what Fergie did in signing RvP, plastered over the cracks. Mata does not solve the 2 big problems that need immediate attention, a CM and a LB. When Rooney and RvP are back, we are going to get goals again, not plenty, but sufficient whilst still labouring over the deficiencies in other areas.
Just replacing Valencia with Mata will have an effect, but definitely less than what we need without strengthening other areas too.

You're saying we're the Jewish kid at Christmas?
Johnny Kills + Quality Player + Beard =
He's a quality player. If you look at our performance in the final 3rd this season then
Urgent? Probably not, but at the same time we shouldn't always wait til things are critical.
RVP was hardly urgent either, that worked out alright in the end.
Valencia is shocking. More harmful to our team than Evra.
Agreed, you've got taste, MUM.Johnny Kills + Quality Player + Beard =
I was thinking more of Vince McMahon. No Chance
I hope we're not disappointed though...
Not even tabled a bid yet, this will be another Fabregas, reports of being close and then reports of us not having tabled a bid? Surely you need to have tabled a starting bid to get close to signing someone. I can't see this happening.
Maybe our cm targets aren't available until the summer, so a quick fix till then to push for that forth will do IMO.
That's why you're on a United forum, posting in a thread about Juan Mata. No not much botherred at all
feck off Glaston.
Does one need to be 'bothered' by something in order to comment on it? I think not.
... the fact that we have been shite in 95.2% of every minute this season.
Dress it up how you want, signing Mata would be HUGE for the club in it's present situation.
Quoting the mirror should be punishable by death. Shocking liars there.
I Juana know what love is...
Missed Chelsea's training today.
I'm hoping we're doing something along the lines of the Van Persie deal. No formal bids, just negotiations. We've only 9 days left, it wouldn't make much sense to sit at Carrington faxing over bid after bid when we can sit down and thrash it out with all parties present.
Really?
If Woodward gets this deal through the last six months Juan Mata
I think someone must be bothered enough to take the time to sign into a United forum just to comment on how unbothered they are.
Absolutely. Even if we stick with our 'play the ball out to the right flank' strategy it will be hell of a lot more successful with Mata there.
The club don't want to have a bid rejected like the Fabregas bids, so they want to make sure the bid made will be the only bid i.e. what Chelsea will accept. Hence why 'talks are ongoing'. Not faxing a blind bid over and crossing their fingers that it'll be accepted.
The more it goes on, the more it feels similar to the Van Persie situation. At least I hope so.
I'd be gutted if we didn't get him though now. I tried hard but my hopes are now up.
I Juan you to blow me...
Valencia is an excellent winger.
Probably, but I think not. If Moyes is sticking with 4-4-1-1 (and I think he will), playing Mata as a traditional winger will be as ineffective as Kagawa imo.
Seriously? I agree he is toothless and Evra inconsistent, but I still rate midfield as out weakest area.
Or Triple H's Game blares out of the speakers. Maybe he can even spit water out of his mouth
All these papers are just reporting rehashed white.
If this goes through then you have to say this is about ten times the business we thought we could do in January. Panic buy my ring piece!
The word you are looking for is embarrassing I believe.
Didn't he get player of the year as a winger at Valencia?
If they're eating diamonds the joke's on them, theyre going to cut them to ribbons on the way out.
I think you're getting a bit carried away here. Mata's a good player but he's not a Fabregas or van Persie (nor is he worth £37-40m)
Valencia is a turd.
I said i wasn't going to get involved in this....
Looks like no work is getting done this afternoon then
