Kagawa is right footed

Had to check there .

I would have almost put money on him being left footed, he uses his left so often!

He's multi-footed.

Our 4 first team attackers will be RVP, Mata, Rooney, and Januzaj.

3 of them are left footed, 4 if we included Kagawa

We'll have some serious dead ball specialists now!

But only from the right side of the pitch..........

Lads, you guys have signed (or are about to sign) one of the most talented, gifted and professional players ever to grace the Premier League.

As dirty as this makes me feel, I sincerely hope he fúcking rips it up at Old Trafford and gives the two fingers to those who forced him out. He did not deserve that treatment.

He was easily my favourite player at Chelsea and a player I had hoped would be there for years.

Twice he was Chelsea's Player Of The Year (including his début season).

He provided that pinpoint corner for Drogba's equaliser in the Champions League Final.

He provided the pinpoint corner for Ivanovic's winner in the Europa League Final.

He scored a crucial goal in Chelsea's Top 4 run last season against United in Old Trafford.

He was the centre of the light during a pretty dark time at Chelsea last season.

He was, is and always will be a player that I will have respect and adoration for. Truly talented and truly brilliant.

I only hope that he gets treated better at United than he was treated in the last few months at Chelsea.

Kylo Ren

Two years ago our best player was Rooney, Mata was Chelsea's and Rvp Arsenal's. Imagine saying back then all would be playing for United. Amazing.

Rayne Wooney

I still can't believe we might have Mata playing in a red shirt

He's really is insanely good, vital in Chelsea winning both their European cups

Rooney can look after the left side! I'm sure he won't ever be needed for the right again now!

Has there been any reason given for him not having the medical today? everything seemed set up for it...

I think it'll be a bit like RVP for me. Didn't believe he was a United player till he scored THAT free kick against City.

But it might be more crazy with Mata. I never even considered the possiblity I'd ever see him in a United shirt. And I still want to hold out hope until I see one of the clubs confirm something. But I just.....it's just bizarre in the most magnificent way.

There is probably still some paperwork left to do; often the signing will be announced "subject to a medical", basically meaning all the paperwork is done, just the (hopeful) formality of the medical.

Now your making me feel bad for taking your Mata away!

jamesbere

The next 2 games are key, we need 6 points from them. Even with Mata joining, he's probably not fully match fit and with Rooney and rvp still doubtful we will still be depending on Valencia welbeck young kagawa aj for our attacking threat.

The way things are going, at the very least he'll be playing off the bench on Tuesday! :pac:

Rayne Wooney

Mata should be motivated as fcuk, throw him in and watch him do his thing I say.

120 minutes minimum in the next two I think

When skies are grey....

Please don't take my Mata away.................




Something like that???

elchupanebrey

Class. We'll soon have someone who can beat the first man with a corner!! As well as all his other class attributes. Joyous days ahead!!

sky88

So will mata the new number 7?

RobertKK

I just hope Moyes can sign a midfielder, I will go crazy if Carrick misses a lot of matches and we are dependent on Cleverley.
It is getting pretty desperate at this stage, we need someone to back up the Mata signing, and then 4th is a possibility in my opinion.
Anyone know how long RVP will be out for? Back anytime soon?

Jaysus when you put it like that it really does give you butterflies in the stomach.

Still a mess to be sorted out at the club and don't get me started on the manager but, for now I'm just going to enjoy this Mata ride and hope against hope that, that elusive of all creatures, a Cm may one day be signed.

I think he likes 10, so he can have a fight with Wayne for it.

TBF Januzaj has come in and shown the others how to cross a ball but its good that there will be another player who can cross a ball joining the ranks!

MagicMarker

I don't even want Mata to start his first game for Utd, I want him to come on as a sub after 3 minutes just so everyone can raise the fúckin' roof!!

Don't be silly, we'll get Yaya first for the midfield, then swoop for the other two.

He is going 'feck, we have to face United who beat us, now they have Mata too."

He is talking rubbish, same rules for everyone. He sees Chelsea selling Mata to United so we can beat Arsenal and Man City to help Chelsea.

I'm pretty sure that United being 12 points behind Chelsea, having already played them twice, and with Arsenal and City yet to come, were all (small) factors in Mourinho giving the move the go-ahead.

Its All Wright

This could have been a great week, getting to a cup final & signing a top player like Mata. Unfortunately it wasnt to be & last nights game sums up how our seasom has gone. The players confidence looks shattered & im convinced Moyes has made his mind up about a few players, Depending how the remainder of this transfer window goes i predict the busiest summer at United in recent memorey. I think Cleverley, Ferdinand, Buttner & Fabio are certainties to go & i could see Hernandez and Vidic possibly leaving too. Chico is a goal scorer but i dont think hes cut out for a regular first team spot at United. Vidic has wom everything at United so he might look for one last challenge in Italy or Spain.

Unlike a lot of fans im not worried, Moyes has my full support & United will come good. The money is there to attract big players & theres some good young players like Januzaj, Jones, Smalling, Powell & Zaha who develop & improve in time. Top 4 is a must & when Van Persie & Rooney are fit & playing alongside Mata & Januzaj as a front 4 i can see normal service being resumed & teams being hammered once again, particularly at Old Trafford

Theres a week to go in this transfer window & id predict Mata wont be the only player coming in..the futures bright

Aye twas more a dig at Young and Valencia and their level of crossing. RVP can give a decent corner too altough now he might get to stay in the box a bit more :-)

He does have a point - in a perfect/fair system, transfer windows would take place in a downtime in the league. Summer window should end before the season stats (as the FA looked in to) and the winter window should take place in a winter break.

Not just to keep it so all teams play against the same squads (injuries permitting), but to also stop players being unsettled when their are games to be played.

I know everybody's been saying this but it seems very short-term thinking. It might help Chelsea this season but will quite likely bite him in the ass next season

The loan system is more unfair. The bigger / richer clubs can offload talented players to other teams but not have to face them when they play.

Also it has benefited United for years, loan players upping their game when playing United rivals!

Hopefully it will, but the money quoted is good, and probably double what he would be worth in summer.

Also United will be spending big this summer anyway, and Moyes has said that he wants a goal scoring midfielder. It would be hard to find someone as good as Mata, but they probably would get someone close to that.

Kerrydude1981

Hopefully we wont see Mata frowning like this during his time at OT

similar thing at the bottom of the table where some small clubs in relegation battles gets so called talented young players that are not quite the finished article for there big club and go for experience to the small clubs,so other small clubs can have the wenger view of this also for there survival in the league.

Well the English like there Christmas games. So unless the transfer window is on Xmas day its not going to change. Personally I think there should be no transfer windows

supersean1999

Also Chelsea have 37m reasons to sell mata. Especially when he sits on the bench.

wow can i ask what you mean by spending big. Moyes has taken over a title winning team as has been given to spend the bones of 65m plus huge wages on just 2 players . All without selling anyone..Moyes spending incredible cash already!!!!

Wenger's always been opposed to the January window, so this is just him sticking to his beliefs. Watch the media twist it though
