"Moron"? Thats fecking harsh to say the least dude!
So what if folk jumped the gun. Many thought he was gonna get the 7. I never gave a shit what number he got personally, never particularly thought about it - still dont too.. Its how he plays in the shirt that matters - a number wont make him a success!
Great feckin signing tho - unbelievable really...
I always liked players wearing the high numbers. It would be brilliant for example if Adnan played a full and glorious career as No44 for us.
The only ones I suppose I really give a feck about are 7 and 16. Giggs' old number will be interesting too once he's done.
Yes moron - who the hell goes out and buys a shirt w/number for a player who hasn't even been given an official number yet?! Almost as bad as buying a shirt for a player who hasn't signed yet....
Well actually it's not, I mean not even close... but you know... same lines?
Yeah, wasn't to arsed about the number he got really - just bloody delighted he's signed!
how's the shirt fit?
I really thought he would get 7? It is such an iconic number, and that script @Damien wrote out (cheers for that) kind of felt that he had discussed it with Moyes too. Whether it was said he promised it for Januzaj next season, or he is saving it for a winger next season, who knows. What we do know is there some fricking exciting times ahead,and I cannot wait to see him in action.
If you did have a mate called Tate, I could imagine him being a really hip bloke... like someone's who's always on the cutting edge and up to date with the latest music/technology/gadgets and what not.
I mean, you could say, he'd be very modern.

Mata said he chose 8 and not 7 after having a chat with David. Plus his comment about players coming in. Obviously it went:
DM: So 1 how's 8?
JM: I think 7 would be a good moment for me
DM: You cant have 7. We're signing Reus in the summer. Plus, we gave you a free helicopter ride
JM: I like helicopter yes, 8 is a great moment for me
Muppet math. I'm so excited.

The muppet in me tells me Moyes has another big name lined up for #7 after reading that in Mata got #8 after talking to Moyes.
Anyone got any tips on how you can make the number 7 look like the number 8? It's for my..... calligraphy classes
Get another number 7, flip it over like a backwards L and stick it on top of the existing number 7 to make a slightly squared off 8.
Well they're mega muppets for sure, and you have to admire that level of muppetry.
Ahh thank you, my calligraphy class will be so pleased....
I really hope he makes his debut tomorrow, I can imagine a lot of cafites will be Matab8ting when he does.
Any pics of him training with the lads? I've subsided to a semi here.
Muppet me says that he asked for 7 and then got told about the names that might be coming in the summer and the 7 being reserved for themMata: "...It's a big step and I think everything will be fine... with the players we have and the players that will come in the summer."
To think we moved from Anderson to Mata in a couple of weeks gives me a hard on.
In one of the many articles I've read today quoted Moyes as saying he'll be playing tomorrow. Didn't indicate start or sub. My guess is starting.
Here's one I did earlier...
Mata #8

I can live with that!
Received reassurances about strengthening the squad?
Probably his mate Koke.
Typical, we sign one player and as soon as the excitement is over the muppetery for the next begins.
"The thing that i like the most about this club is the character"
Don't worry too much, just a week into the summer transfer window you will see people posting that we never sign anyone good. The food Mata has brought to the table for the muppets will soon run out.
Press trying to get him to slag off Chelsea- Mata having none of it. Classy guy.
Can't wait until tomorrow
I still can't believe he plays for us. It's a wet dream surely.
His new site needs some work.
This is what we need mate, so you better bring it!
Sucks a bit doesn't it. Sell him!
Just watched his interview, he's an extremely impressive individual isn't he. I even like the way he refers to his managers by their first names. He's clearly a very intelligent guy by footballer standards and that automatically commands respect. He'll do for me.
8 is fine by me. As long as it's nothing too weird like Zidane taking #5 at Real, I'm cool with it.
