Yeah, but then most of the journos went with the "he didn't train" yet apparently Chelseatv confirmed that he did.
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?!

Loan til the end of the season? For what? To sit on their bench? 
well...the BBC did lie about the Queen getting testy......
We're turning you over anyway Al, you are our bitch.
Rio the muppet has joined in! ON ON feckING ON!!
cant be trueSo, Balague is a self-proclaimed La Liga expert, how can he know what's happening between 2 English clubs is beyond me.
Woody would probably fall for that
I doubt he would to be honest.
Reckon this will be announced after the game.
Fingers crossed. There are a couple of desert islands I've got my eye on.
Backtracking slightly?
Our medical team will have to asses him and probably break both his legs! Hopefully we can have him fit for Septmeber!
On the pitch, by Juan Mata himself.
Don't you know that its an insult to laugh at other people's post when they aren't supposed to be funny?
I reckon he'll be at the stadium tonight.
how is the deal structured? 20 million now plus Rooney in the summer?
She's 19 so feel free to drool at her.
He'll probably send you £40 and a thank you note.
Nah. Surely has her pop's gene, which will make her wrinkly by the age of 22. Pass.
Balague

I don't know why you lot torture yourselves listening to these twats. 99% of what they 'predict' is bollocks and the 1% that isn't is on the telly about 40 seconds later.He's the most unconvincing clown out there.
I think you mean to say that we are Fellainiing the transfer.
An excessive financial offer borne out of panic or past mistakes.
It annoys me hat Moyes and the club have backed themselves into such a corner in the first place. Whilst Mata is certainly a very good player and a benefit to the team i do wonder how much we'll have left come the summer.
Great signing if it happens, maybe we won't be so toothless in the final 3rd, as we have a lot of times this season. Still midfield and defence need to be fixed next.

Very attacking, but would it work, it's effectively a 4-4-2 diamond! If you wonder why I've gone for this it's to get all our best personal on the pitch at once! The question is would that work!
Otherwise we have to sacrifice one of the front men, which feels ashame when the replacement would be Cleverley, i.e traditional 4-2-3-1

On paper I can see why Mata is not the obvious choice. What does he give us that Kagawa shouldn't? Are we basically saying that Kagawa is either A) not as good or even potentially as good as Mata or B) Kagawa is less flexible.
It seems we have plenty of tools to do 4-2-3-1 already, i.e. Kagawa, Rooney and Januzaj as the 3 and then the issue comes more to having enough decent holding midfielders, which is what Cleverley/ Giggs/ Fletcher/ Jones/ Anderson, appear to be lacking.
I've been saying for a while the obvious quick fix is CB, automatically increasing quality in defence and if they are a decent attacking defender some distribution from defence. Also LB, as Evra is a bit slow to get back.
Otherwise if we are going with wingers, we just need some quality on the wing, as opposed to the crap we currently have, Januzaj aside

I think Mata will be called to hand over MoM to Januzaj and there will be bromance between whole united team and Mata with Champagne and spunk all over Geoff's face!
Omg omg omg omg. On!
If Bollockache backpedals for much longer he can go back and stop himself from saying we made a downpayment on Falcao and the 2 years Torres was a done deal before he moved to Liverpool.
Still want to know what sky mean by "3rd party"? Sure they just want to make things upmsomthey sound as the 1s who broke this story.
'right lads, I'm off for lunch. When I'm back this deal'd better be wrapped up, or else!
It's incredible because in this day and age, what do you really save by searching around on Twitter etc for rumours before they break? How long until real news broken on twitter is then found on BBC or Sky Sports or everywhere else?
What is the point?
Deserves to be threadbanned.
Did you read my comment in the other thread about how 100 pages means no chance of transfer happening!
What's-a Mata you Hey! Gotta no respect Hey! What-a you t'ink you do Moyes? Why you look-a so sad? With Woody t's not so bad! it's-a nice-a place, Ah, shaddap-a you face
