If his rehabilitation was to go wrong because of the equipment used, he would be insurance because he is there on loan whereas he perhaps wouldn't be if we just sent him over there (no loan)
Having some formal framework in place to clarify things legally. Nacional won't want to pay to cover another team's player in case of any accident while he's at their facilities. Liverpool's insurance might not cover their players rehabilitation/training on the other side of the world. A loan agreement can make things clearer so the insurance lawayers can't look for loopholes.
Liverpool are waiting to learn the extent of the knee injury that Lucas suffered during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. If Lucas' injury proves to be serious then, according to Corrierre dello Sport, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers wants AC Milan midfielder Nigel de Jong to replace the Brazilian. De Jong joined Milan in 2012 following three-and-a-half years at Manchester City.

Not sure what to make of that. He definitely fits the "batard" tag and would give us much needed grit in the middle but, he is a actual batard!
As many of you know, I don't like loans. It leaves you at square one when they leave; if you chose to buy them then there doesn't appear to be any improvement to the side as they were there already, if they leave then you have to spend to get back to where you were.
In addition, I'm not convinced the player that is loaned in always wears their heart on their sleeve. They are not committed for the long term so playing poorly doesn't have as big a effect on them. They have the attitude of "oh well, I won't be here soon so **** 'em".
Mourinho more or less said that Man Utd were out of the title race and that he hoped they started to play better now Chelsea don't have to play them again meaning they'd take points off Chelsea's rivals. You could put a similar spin on the Mata deal; if he moves to Man Utd then theoritically, they become a better outfit and are more likely to take points off Chelsea's rivals. We all know Jose only thinks short term too
The rumoured £35m-£40m is a bit steep though. Especially considering Chelsea don't want him.
I saw this logic in the Mirror earlier. It seems a bit simplistic to me. Can't see it.

that would be the shortest possible thinking ever if true. which is why i think its made up.
selling mata to utd now would only create a huge rival next year when chelsea are already looking at city.
makes zero sense.
swap mata for costa and it makes perfect sense as you add the forward you need and place the guy in a league where he can do you no harm.
he would be nuts to do anything to strengthen utd hand... the might be cash now but it only take one or two players to get them top 4 like him and frankly.... they get top 4 they spend big and they challeng chelsea
its lunacy of the highest order... selling rvp to utd nearly cost wenger his job

final word on chavski. they have never ever yet cared about fee so why on all the evidence (they ignore FFP anyway) do the rags now think that utd bidding a silly 40mil for the player will turn chav's heads? they cahvs would be happy with a 30mil vlaue sawp deal for no moeny at all for either rooney or costa

Unless Mourinho thinks Man Utd are ****ed whilst Moyes is there too
Why would they pay the wages for a injured player?
Paying £40m for Mata would be very silly money IMO. He's unwanted and unhappy, I'd expect the fee to be around £20m-£25m.
