The Mata stories really seem to be gaining ground again, I wonder how much is truth and how much is paper rehashing old crap through lack of news?
See my earlier post ,this is happening....and possibly one more ,but that may be a deal which will go through in summer as the player is playing for a team leading their championship.There will also be a huge spend in the summer
In before the trolls.
It's like a sweetshop in here, I don't know where to start...
Seriously though, Rooney for Mata? Not a good deal under any circumstances.
I love Mata but he's no game changer - more a game enhancer - and you badly need a Rooney/RVP type more than a (very) good midfielder.

If you're going to talk about United and football then nobody has a problem. It's like a sweetshop in here, I don't know where to start...

Rooney is going, just a matter of when IMO.
Rooney isn't going to Chelsea,the deal is completely independent.
It's likely Rooney will go in the summer ,united have been watching costa and cavani which I can only see as a sign that one of rvp or Rooney will go in the summer.
There are also 2 Spanish left backs beingg watched one of whom will likely join in the summer.
And about 30000 midfielders .
This is from someone I will say has been about 80% accurate throughout the last 4-5 years.
United expect the deal for mata to be done today ,by Friday latest.
Having seen Woodward summer dealings things may go cock up ,but as it is it's pretty exciting stuff and lots to look forward to in the summer.

Assuming you get in the Champs league...then all bets are off. It's likely Rooney will go in the summer ,united have been watching costa and cavani which I can only see as a sign that one of rvp or Rooney will go in the summer.

Agree - Mata should be an "as well as" not an "instead of" and really not sure what he would offer over Rooney other than a happy to play v not happy to play!It's like a sweetshop in here, I don't know where to start...

Is Rooney's relationship really that broke?

Rooney for Mata is a fantasy and isn't being reported by anyoneIs Rooney's relationship really that broke?
There is an acceptance that Rooney is likely off in the Summer, but it is not part of the Mata deal and if todays papers are to be believed Real want him
He could be the difference and can score at any point so if you get him then the teams above you I feel would need to look over their shoulders.
You do however, have another No 10 in Kagawa. Whats the deal there? Formation, style of play, god knows but when he did play well he just got dropped.

Really? I have my preferences set to "big boy settings" and in the excitement to get the thread off and running, thought that as it was on Page 125, we must be there!
Now if only there was someone on the thread who could explain arithmetical conundrums like that!! . Anyhow, we're off and running now, there's no going back!

Rooney for Mata = not a good swap for me. Mata to United = good buy. Rooney to Chelsea I can't see happening any time soon.
We MUST strengthen not weaken our team...how anybody even thinking of selling Rooney would be a good move I simply don't know. We should pay him what he wants and play him up front with quality players in behind and beside him.
Not happy reading about a possible rift between RVP and Moyes. Fit to play but choosing not to, is bad form if correct. He should be busting a gut to get back in and play, especially in a World Cup year.
Also possible rift with Zaha, turned up late for training and was dropped to the subs bench for the U-21's. I feel sorry for him and think he deserves a game, obviously Moyes doesn't rate him. Wonder what SAF makes of this sit-e-ation...?
Personally I can't see any in's or out's (unless they're fringe players like Anderson) this transfer window...the value's not in the market.
