That sites really good for whenever a fee is ''undisclosed''

The Independent is saying that United wants Mata for 40 Million

I don't get Anzhi at all, why have they just pulled the plug on all those massive ambitions they had

Their owner was involved in some crude oil thing and his stocks dramatically dropped or something and he got scared

there was a good bbc page on it actually, it might still be on there

they've gotten rid of all the players just about I think, and are rooted to the bottom of the table

Greedy bastard Jucilei didn't come back. :"(

These sudden "leaks" are all too weird to me right now.

Did Jucilei go to Al Gharafa or some **** ?

Hmm interesting, it must have been mainly the company worries that provoked it, can't believe they'd take such a dramatic step just cos their season hadn't started well and the manager had some personal problems when he'd only been in the job 16 days

Bet they're all feeling a lot more pessimistic now than when this was written as well lol

Balague always talk so much crap

Rubbish story saying that Atletico Madrid have given United first refusal on Filipe Luis and Diego Costa, two of their best players if United don't sign Juan Mata because Atletico want him too.

Why would AM get rid of two of their best players just to sign another player when they're flying high in La Liga? Oh the press:joker:.

I know that they would probably struggle to cough up what Chelsea would want though.

No Mata at Chelsea training ;-)

20m offer for Tony Hibbert made as United withdraw Mata interest.

Chelsea fans must be livid right now, This has been a cracking window, in my opinion

Mata would be an excellent signing. Always wanted him when Rafa was here. Not sure where he fits in to a Moyes 442 though, especially when he's spectacularly failed to get anything out of Kagawa.

I'm sure they're really down in the dumps after watching Willian start to tear the league to pieces, and remain a point or 2 off the top of the league, having failed to get anywhere near challenging for the last 3 years. I'm sure they're burning their club-issued plastic flags as I type.

Assume Moyes wants to change the way United play a bit I guess, Mata is too slow to play on the left wing...especially with RVP or Rooney probably leaving in the summer

Think he just wants a marquee signing to gee up the fans too

Kagawa has genuine pace, and plays in the same position as Mata. He hasn't played him at all, really.

Agree it's more about the signing, but he already has the players to play a different way but currently chooses not to. I don't think he begins to fix the problems in that team. I think they'll get top 4, and I thought they would even without Mata. They'll grind enough teams down to keep winning 4/5/6 games on the trot.

It has always bugged me when United have played Kagawa on the wing, he isn't a winger and never will be. He prefers the CAM role, but when you have Rooney who wants to play there too and we know who the better player of the two is.

When Kagawa has had a chance to play in his best role, he has shown glimpses of the talent and potential he shown at Borussia Dortmund.

Even if United do sign Juan Mata, a CM would still be needed. I reckon there will be some spending in the Summer anyway, there has to!

Yeah :bored:

BBC just about to carry the story United have moved for Mata. They don't deal in speculation

^ Yeah and some Journalist tweeted that Juan Mata has told his family and friends that he is United bound, not sure where their source for that is from?

£35 million offer tabled apparently.

-Still isn't happening-

Don't do it to yourself bbfan :laugh:

True ha ha, best to be open minded to prepare yourself for any disappointment.

Wilfried Zaha is joining Cardiff City on loan from United!

SSN reporting that United have made a £40 million bid through a ''third party''. WTF? But whatever, it seems that something is going on.

It's those pretend lawyers again that trolled Herrera :joker:

Mata is having a medical before the weekend.
Real madrid going to offer 25m for rooney in the summer
Draxler close to arsenal move

Mata and Gundo have the same reps. I swear if this Mata stuff happens then the next step must be obvious to Moyes and Woody. Hell, get Sir Alex out to Germany if need be :laugh:

Probably Nike or Chevrolet.

That would be funny!

I can't see Rooney wanting to play abroad still and he wouldn't be the main man at RM, which is what he craves.

Could a Kagawa plus cash deal for Gundogan work? If Real Madrid are still interested he wouldn't come to United though.

What boots does mata wear?
Nike or adidas?

Why im asking is because this may be a similar saga to the ronaldo transfer.
The only way man utd could of got ronaldo was by a third party that sponsor both ronaldo and man utd. Which is what is happening here, the third party is Definately a sponsor of both mata and utd.

All agreed. Juan Mata will be a Manchester United player. 45 million euros. All will be announced very soon

For Mata's sake i hope he's successful at Utd, Great guy.

It's a necessary overspend

Chelsea have got a great deal from all of this.. Well Mourinho has.

they've actually made a profit this window, De Bruyne 16m mata 37m and paid 21 for Matic
