Mata, despite this season, is still one of the best players in the league, and selling him to anyone that could potentially fuck us over in a future title race would be a massive cock up.


The only thing that would make sense for you is if it was a belated player swap and you got Ronney in the summer.

Chelsea would only sell Mata to a club abroad, and we're not going to sell Rooney to Chelsea.

BBC posted a non story saying we've not bidded for Mata but we've also not denied interest. And people on Twitter saying we're going to buy Dante from Bayern. Fat chance.

We'll end up recalling Nick Powell on loan and that'll be our only business.

EDIT: Dante: "I'm happy with the Manchester United interest, my party is keeping me informed about it." - Bayern would be crazy to sell.

This Guarin-Vucinic business is out of control haha, Inter fans calling for a mass demonstration in the street according to the footballitalia website. Livens up the transfer window a bit at least!

Bayern have about 3 centre backs and one of them is Van Buyten who's been injured forever and is well old.

They'll add rather than sell.

So a club will sign players if they're available, hardly a world exclusive

It is with us nowadays.

Balague has said we're in negotiations with Chelsea over Mata. That means it won't happen, unless we've got the receipt for our advanced payment on Falcao.

I wouldn't get excited about anything until it actually happens, your gonna be linked with any player the media can think of. I've had the same for years now.

Mata rumours are really gathering pace with some credible journalists, I can't wait for the inevitable disappointment when we don't sign him.

BBC: Manchester United make a bid for Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata in the region of £35m.

He also didn't train today. Trying to not get excited.

I can see it happening to be honest, I've got my optimistic hat on today it seems. Although I think that bid will be rejected and we'll be paying more around 40

Oh my goodness, there's a rumour that Mata told his family he's going to United. This is exciting

The Tweet i posted got deleted by the BBC not long after for some reason, maybe they didn't wanna give too much away.

I thought Man Utd needed a central midfield player, not a no.10?

I'd imagine we'd use him from the left or right, he can play all 3 positions and the only other player we have worth anything there is Januzaj.

He'd boot Valencia or Young out of the team, which is fine, because they are garbage.

Just saw a tweet suggesting Mata was being sold for FFP reasons, as his book value is £11m. So Chelsea will make a profit on him.

If FFP does work like that, it's absolutely pointless. Mega Clubs will just bring in players on free transfers and sell them at a 'profit', with no intention of playing them. I'm pretty sure Inter and Milan got in trouble a few years ago for selling each other players at silly fees to improve their books.

There's a pretty amusing Shed End vs Redcafe pissing contest going on.

Safe to say they're not happy.

Balague says Mata deal agreed, 45 million euros.

But after Herrera I swore I'd never believe a word he said again, so I'll remain sceptical.

If Mata is going to Utd then Rooney has to be leaving in the summer. Can't see either happening

He's not that bad. I think when the BBC and Guardian are saying the same sort of things, you can probably trust him.

Rooney's leaving anyway, this summer or the next, regardless of what happens with Mata.

David Moyes would ruin Mata. Somehow he'd find a way.

Otherwise, Danny Welbeck to be top scorer next season

Probably,

As long as we are smart enough to ship him abroad no one will mourn his passing.
