Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

According to Matt Law from the Telegraph, Mata has "told friends and family" he will join United.

[Marc Overmars]

Unless Mourinho is going to pull off the ultimate WUM, this will happen. United are desperate.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If he thinks it will help them take points of his rivals and doesn't see a place for him in his team, it's actually quite clever.

Sell them Hazard too then.

[Munchies]

Done deal according to loads of media sources.

Ballague saying the deal is £45m ... wow, what a signing

[Penguin]

Good signing

I still don't understand why he's not getting games for Chelsea let alone being sold to a rival

[Ollie the Optimist]

this deal makes aboustley no sense. mata strengthens united any way you look at it and weakens chelsea. the argument that mata could take points off us and city this season is bollocks because what happens next season when its all level again? the only thing i can think of why mourinho is allowing this, is that he has a deal for rooney lined up in return but if that isn't in writing and united get mata, i hope they stick two fingers up at the smug cunt and he's left looking stupid.

now given the shit everyone gave AW for selling our best player to united when he had no choice, it will be interesting to see what the reaction is to mourinho selling his best player to united. he's not even forced into it

[Marc Overmars]

Mata is not Chelsea's best anymore player in fairness.

then loan him. what happens if mourinho doenst win the league this season even if mata takes points off us and city and then next season every one is level again and he's fucked.

was last year and the year before.

[Marc Overmars]

was last year and the year before.

Indeed he was but they've been fine without him this season, they're selling a player they perceive to be surplus. It's not the same as when we've sold our top players.
