United won't know what to do with him or get the best out of him. They have sunk so low that this is actually a backward step for Mata where a couple of years ago it would have been a great move.

Moyes will probably injure him within a fortnight anyhow
Boat, paddle spring to mind

haha do one...

It is up to the teams currently above them, Liverpool, Tottenham and dare I say it Everton to ensure that United do not finish fourth. I sincerely hope any of those teams hold onto their balls and keep it from happening

What, you mean what stands between us and 4th is the 'League of Bedwetters' ?

And Moyes

That is our biggest hurdle.

You saw Everton wet the bed on Monday. Watch them lose to Liverpool next. Decent half a season followed by loan players leaving, Barry getting too old and decent young players moving on = welcome back to reality.

£40m is being mentioned as a provisional transfer fee for Mata. I can't help but think it's a stupid idea to make one of your direct competitors stronger and that it'll bite us in the arse.

It' £40m. Sterling is worth 22% more than the euro. Minor difference.

I know its loose change to Roman but still £7m is £7m.

You are more than welcome to put a £50million bid in for Sterling

is anyone else thinking that mata is over priced at 40mn ?
or are chelsea doing business like an african wood carver and pricing their tribal mask ta 200% of actual value leaving some wiggle room ?

and lamela tottenhams most expensive signing at 30mn hasn't really done much has he
makes carroll / downing look good value ... at least they were played

Ha! You only win the lottery once in a lifetime.

No. Name me an active PL player in his position that has been better than him over the last 2 seasons.

Jordan Henderson
Charlie Adam

Dortmund or Atletico will come in for Mata.

I think £40m is about right, I called it a few pages ago anyway... :P

And it's the silly season, ManUre are desperate and TSO/Roman know they've got money to spend... Seller's market for someone like Mata...

Don't wanna see him go...

I think if a foreign team came in with a lower offer that would have preference over United.

It doesn't say much that Chelsea would even consider this move, having said they wouldn't agree to deals, strengthening their rivals.

Loan players at Everton and Liverpool and possibly selling a player to United. Spurs should get in there!

This is the attitude I like!

Arturo Vidal talking to Bild about the ridiculous decision to not include him in the fifpro 13 team:

"I am the best player in the world in my position. That's simply the way it is for me..there are a lot of players out there in my position who try and play just like me and want to copy my style of play.

"But it's quite clear for me that I'm the best in my role. Nobody puts in as much defensive work as I do and then scores a lot of goals on top of it as well."

Keeps getting better for Moyesey. Everton fined 45k for an illegal approach for Lascelles in 2010!

That would be awesome, I don't wanna watch him playing for anyone else in the PL... It would be too much...

Of course, it could all be smoke and mirrors...

I'd have him at Arsenal in a heartbeat but I think even for 40m you wouldn't sell.

Playing at Dortmund or Atletico would be lovely and suit him

The F.A. in getting off the fence shocker

OMG whatever next. So he is an anti-semite

Am I the only person who feels uneasy that everyone assumes that guilt is an inevitable consequence of being charged? I'm particularly uneasy that the FA are allowed to spend almost 3 weeks compiling a 34 page charge, and give the player just 3 days to respond to it?

No, he made a gesture which he knows very well the meaning of.

He will have to deal with the consequences but I would ban him for the rest of the season at least.
