Offer them Nani for sheer reasons to cause confusion and panic. Then ask to buy Mata and inquire if they want Rooney for £10,000,000.

I would be a truly fantastic negotiator - before the club I was dealing with had even realised I'd have land ownership of their ground.
 
I can't stop thinking about the fact that there is a chance, no matter how small it is, that we have rejected the chance of getting Juan Mata (plus 10million) for a player we no longer want or need.

If this ever turns out to be true, I may be driven to kill....

There's not much point in it though, as there seems to be no reason why we would turn it down, or why Chelsea would offer such a stupid deal in the first place. I mean how can you offer Mata or Luiz? How is it one or the other, they aren't remotely similar value wise, and what team, - even without a single defender - would take Luiz over Mata if they were given a choice? It has to be rubbish.
 
What we can therefore conclude is there isn't anyone, who is a fan of this club and is sane, that wouldn't accept a bid of Mata + £10 mil for Rooney. Thus, I can be fairly confident that this bid never happened....

Unless the one retarded wankpot who would reject it sits next to the United fax machine....

Oh Shit.............where the feck are WR8 and JohnMUFC?!?!?!
 
Press association have reported it now. Seems to me that we maybe had a choice between Mata and Luiz? If we turned that down...feck me.

If this is actually true... Holy feck,

Where is that banner that Mockney photoshopped?!

So the fact everyone is saying it's happened and it's all over every major news outlet it hasn't happened because you say so?
 
Hello Moyes. Welcome to Manchester United. Time to sign the Worlds elite.

Thiago? "Nooo"
Ronaldo? "Nooo"
Mata? "Nooo!"

... *sigh* Fellaini? "YEEEEEESSSSS!"

Yes? I'm not asking you to base your opinion on what I believe, but I'm going to believe in what I think is the case. Do I think the story is true? No, not really.

I don't deny they might have made a bid, but I don't believe they offered us a choice of 10 million with either Mata or Luiz because in my mind it doesn't make sense at all.
 
Why in feck would Chelsea want rid of Mata?
 
Up the cash offer, we'll deal. Be crazy not to take Mata.

As weird as it sounds, If this is true, and we reject an initial bid, and end up agreeing on say £15mil + Mata... I'd still be annoyed at the idea that some feckfunnel thought that was a chance worth taking and rejected the first bid :lol:
 
Rooney for £10,000,000, Luiz, Mata and Rooney has to appear on MUTV dressed as a giant penis admitting he is a twat and that its all colleens idea because she really wants to meet John Terry and its a done deal.

Mata could have had a falling out with the club, or want to leave... who knows?

Absolutely agree.

I think they made a bid last night but the bit about Mata has to be made up. Do Chelsea really believe Luiz is worth as much as Mata?

I'm calling bullshit too. There's absolutely no logic in Chelsea offering Mata, who is their best player, for a 28 year old. Rooney or not.

It makes no sense.

Could well of done, I just don't see how Chelsea would make an offer with Luiz and Mata as financial equivalents. If they were selling either player alone, Mata would cost a hell of a lot more. The fact we are dying for a player like Mata, and have no real use for a player like Luiz makes their evaluation of both players as the same, even more ridiculous.

I'd join you in your skepticism if it wasn't for the BBC and AP reporting it.
 
Apparently they do if they are offering Mata plus money for Rooney.

Maybe the shock of the transfer offer caused a Vicar of Dibley esque speech impediment?

'No, no, no, no, no...' *Phone clicks off as Chelsea hang up the line* '...Yes'
 
oh come on guys...we have never had a transfer season like this one...it's bloody hillarious...

I tend to stay out of the transfer threads, but even I must admit this close season is mental. And the potential transfer merry go rounds and swap deals must give muppets endless wanking.
 
We would be mental to reject an offer of 10m + Mata.

We are crying out for a left sided player, and this guy is one the best.

Problem I see is that we would need to replace Rooney with another forward.
 
Hectic is right. Why would Chelsea value Mata and Luiz as the same value? Fact is, they're not, so I can't possibly believe it.
 
The BBC don't report things that are pure speculation.

What is going on this summer baffles me. It's shaping up to be a mental few weeks. I just really want things to start happening because the waiting is interminable.

Well yeah - I seem to remember the murmurings of Barca being interested in Luiz earlier in the summer (or January - can't remember) and price tags of like £30-35m being banded about. So they obviously value him at a lot. He's a good player in fairness, very underrated on the Caf - obviously Mata is the one everyone would want though!
 
I'm calling bullshit too. There's absolutely no logic in Chelsea offering Mata, who is their best player, for a 28 year old. Rooney or not.

It makes no sense.

So where do the BBC and PA get off on reporting bollocks?

I agree it makes no sense at all, but its pretty clear from the way this came out and whos reporting it that someone has leaked this.
