I hope this Mata rumour is true, he is pure quality and what a statement it would send out, probably some posters do not like him but they have probably not watched him that much, I have and he is quality, Chelsea player of the year 2 years in a row then Jose gets rid, carried the Mancs in a lot of games last season and the year before but Jose is back and off he goes again, even the Chelski posters want him back, posters asking to swap for Oscar etc, come on Ron get Mr Moshiri's wallet out and start spending, make Mata the first.

Would be ideal as a Pienaar or Ossie attacking midfielder position with a little bit of defensive quality. Him and another similar would balance the squad a lot and also make openings for Lukaku. He could also fit into a 5 man midfield with Barkley as the other attacking midfielder. Makes complete sense to me Murf. And I agree about quality. and he is not a disruptive influence like some players. Just gets on with his job and does what he is supposed to do.

Totally agree Murf. Some posters would still find something wrong with Messi and Ronaldo if we signed them.
Mata a top player. Utd's best player last season. Lvg took him off in a lot of games. Why I'm not sure because I thought was as good as any player at Utd last and as you say player of the year twice in a row with Chelsea.
Good 4-5 years left in him. Would be amazing if we got him imho.

would be a great coup for us Degs/ NB, i'm hoping it has legs though and not papers putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, Ed2 has not heard anything yet and he is usually spot on with this type of info, hopefully he will hear something concrete soon.

I just hope Koeman isn't planning to use him to plug the gap on the left. It isn't his best position and he doesn't really have enough pace to play there. It could bring up some interesting changes to our formation if he plays him and Ross in the centre like Degsy mentioned. Either way I would be pleased with the signing, a bit more creativity in the middle of the park.

Mata would be a great signing. Not 2 sure on witsel tbh. Seems a lot of money to me. Id rather kovacic but i know deep down that want happen. Still its good to be a blue.

it sure is anomblue, if Moshiri never came in we would be looking and probably be getting excited by Robson Kanu on a free, with RM still in charge.
