Ah that one's probably better :lol:
 
Can You imagine what he'll do to likes of Buttner during trainings ? I think Fabio may injure himself again.

Good old Moyesy will probably burn him like a witch for using all the 'black magic arts'.

Phil Jones will probably cause him some form of physical damage as a sort of initiation...
 
We didnt really sign him did we? This is just me dreaming and you're all apart of that dream.

Does any shirt have a better history of players than our number 7? Best, Robson, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo.

Considering back in Bests' day numbers were positional, rather than tied to players(IIRC Best actually wore 11 more), I'd love to know who else wore it back then, any chance Charlton had it a few times? I guess not...

Doubt it. He played left wing for a few years. He wore 9 for United and England when he was an attacking midfielder.

I was browsing the magazine section with a six-pack of Corona in hand, passing time before heading to the check-out and the phone rings.

"NAHEALAI????!!!"

"Yes, Da?"

Old man starts singing "You're the One (Juan) That I Want" down the phone to me and finished the phone call.

This man is 51-years-old in a few months time.

Your Dad sounds far better than mine. He's just a cynical, miserable bastard who isn't even excited at the prospect of signing Mata - and subsequently doesn't blink an eye when it's confirmed - while instantly demanding more signings.

Can we swap?
 
Has it actually sunk in yet, we're signing Mata, Juan fecking Mata.

When those rumours went round in the Summer about a Mata/Rooney swap I just thought 'Pah never gonna happen, no way we can get Mata'...fast forward six months and we've got both :lol: I feel like a kid a Christmas, I keep randomly smiling when I think about it :lol:

It was my birthday yesterday too.

This is literally the peak of my life.

Fair enough but are thread bans needed?

Depends on circumstance and stuff. Thread bans only last a day anyway if any are given out, and they can still view the thread, just not post which isn't a big inconvenience.

i'm drunk, let's thread ban everyone and discuss mata.
 
we are going to sign juan fecking mata, this is a good time in my life. god i'm so alone.
 
is that the one where you get a stiffy because you're signing mata?
 
Totally worth it, save fourth and he pays for himself.

Only 25, versatile, creative and great finisher who has established himself in the Spain squad while being Chelsea's best player. I can't wait to see Mata, Rooney and RVP play in the same side - even if it only occurs a few times before Rooney moves on in the summer, it is an incredible combination on paper.
 
Brilliant player, he will make a difference no doubt, just don't get expectations up like he is going to make the "Cantona" difference like in 92\93 for the remainder of the season, there are fundamental problems all over the pitch which signing mata is not going to fix by this signing alone. Still, he should help turn some of our possession into clear cut chances (if Moyes lets players make runs beyond the ball) and it is a very important signing in terms of stature, even though we are going through shit, the fact we can still sign a player like this is a good signal.

Too late.
 
I actually can't believe we have pulled this deal off. I was watching the rumours thread like a hawk, waiting on every moment, and as soon as I go out for the night, the official website announces it.

Has this actually sunk in yet? We have just signed one of the best premier league players from one of our rivals for a record fee in January. Those 4 bolded parts don't happen often, especially in January, yet Moyes and Woodward have done it. Fair credit to them for pulling off possibly the biggest transfer in premier league history, and one which should surely drive the players on to get that top 4 spot this season, and to better things the next.

This is just ridiculous. Juan Mata is now a Manchester United player. I need to wake up soon from this.

Was always bricking it when they had a freekick against us. Speaking of which, anyone got a gif of that one in the last minute a few years back that Dave did a wonder stop on? Our two spaniards at their best.
