Still Chelsea's best player if given a run of games. Would love him to come to us.

Apparently mata to United is 99.9% depending on if a foreign club make a offer.

I'd love him to join Arsenal, personally. Would fit their style to a tee. Apparently mata to United is 99.9% depending on if a foreign club make a offer. C'mon Real you lazy bastards.

If Mata signed for Arsenal , there would be no stopping arsenal and they wouldn't need another striker

What system would you play him in, Mike? Narrow 4-2-3-1: De Gea Rafael --- Vidic --- Evans --- Evra Jones --- Carrick Januzaj/Kagawa --- Rooney --- Mata RVP

That's a great lineup for United ! I feel they need a right back and CD

CD maybe. Rafa still has great potential and is probably the strongest of the back 4 positions. A backup RB wouldn't go amiss but with all the strengthening needed elsewhere it isn't a priority.

Jones is not a good midfielder imo and his future place will be a permanent CB. Another CM needed unless Fellaini recaptures his Everton form. Why's Ballon D'Or nominee Adnan Januzaj being rotated? YUP

Agree Jones will end up a CB but for now he is a good midfield option. Fellaini can take his spot when he comes back. Januzaj is still only 18 so will probably tire 2nd half of the season.

As a Chelsea fan I hate to see Mata go, he really was our best player but you can't argue with success and Hazard, Oscar, and Willian really are our top 3 players in that position (I don't know why we got Willian other then to screw with Tottenham but he really worked out) Mata just doesn't fit Jose style it seems. Although I am hearing CFC want £40million but Moyes is still willing to pay, honestly would like to see Rooney as part of the deal but looks like he will head to Real Madrid in 2015.

Phil jones will end up at Stoke or Fulham in a year or two. He's just not cut out same as smelling and Evans. In my opinion they are not top defenders.
Mata leaving is really annoying me especially to United. I'm a arsenal fan and still pissed we never got him.
Wonder if arsenal will sign anyone. Draxler won't happen

I'd pay £40m for Mata. He, RVP, Suarez and Bale were the 4 best BPL attackers last year. To have 2 at Utd and one out of the league would be nice.

Draxler won't happen I think Smalling and Evans will end up like Wes Brown and John O'Shea. Decent squad players but that's about it. I see Jones settling into Ferdinand's role at CB once he retires.

Evans has more potential than people think. Had a great season a couple of years ago. Injury troubled him since then. SAF originally wanted him and Pique to replace Vidic & Ferdinand.

Jonny Evans will go on to be a United legend.

Evans is sh*te ya biased bastards!
Okay, he's not sh*te but he's not particularly good either. Certainly not a CL quality centre back. Always looks like he's got mistakes in him.

I hate Man United so much eurgh. At the moment I think our team is perfect. I love our formation (4-2-3-1) and I think the only thing missing is an outright striker. I'd love for us to recall Thibaut Courtois and have Petr Cech go out on loan to another club to keep him occupied. This'd be a great Starting XI for us. --------------Courtois-------------- Ivanovic-----Cahill-----Terry-----Azpi ----------Luiz----------Matic--------- -------Schurrle*---Willian---Oscar----- -Torres/Eto'o/Ba/any other striker we buy-
*if Eden Hazard leaves for PSG.

Journalist Guillem Balague says the Juan Mata deal to Manchester United is already finalised, 45 million euros.
