Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

Almunia was also superb at saving penalties. shit at everything else mind

Aye. Very true. Didn't see the game but fired up a stream for the shoot out. Damn good saves but very poor penalties. Hopefully Mata saw the game and has second thoughts about joining united.

Oh well, atleast Moyes is still there.

It's not the direct influence Mata will have on Utd will have on the pitch. Mata or not they're not likely to get back to the top three nor does it even catergorically secure them top four. He's not that good of a player to singlehandly accomplish that.

It's about the bigger long term picture. You all saw what happened to us after we signed Ozil - it rejuvenated the club, made us a more attractive proposition and generally increased our standing amongst the footballing elite. By signing someone like Mata it increases the chances of them finishing top four and thus keeping RVC and Rooney and attracting top quality calibre players to compete once again.

To quote AVB, Man Utd are in a downward spiral. It's for all our benefits (City, Chelsea and us) to keep them there instead of giving them a hand up to get back on track.

I won't go full linguistics nerd and explain why he made that mistake, but suffice to say he meant his three excellent goals.

This.

I am not worried about Man U this season, I personally feel we will finish above them unless we have a major collapse.

Saying that I am not particularly looking forward to playing them as we will most likely have to face Rooney, RVP, Mata and Januzaj. They have very good attacking options, it's there Midfield and Defence which is the problem and needs major investment.

I still don't understand why Chelsea are selling them Mata, doesn't make any sense to me, he's a proven top class PL Performer and still hasn't peaked.

Chelsea were lucky they played them during their crisis and without their two strikers. We'll probably face a confident and full strength Man ure and although id love us to piss all over them, they will be a different animal.
