Paul Wilson's piece from The Observer reposted on a blog. http://www.hispanicbusiness.com/2014/2/2/sport_football_barclays_premier_league_chelsea.htm "The worry for United, no matter how useful Mata turns out to be, is that if Mourinho stays this far ahead of his Old Trafford counterpart, Moyes's wait for a first trophy could turn out to be a long one and Champions League games could soon be just a pleasant memory." "Not only did Jose effortlessly raise pounds 55m through the sales of Juan Mata and Kevin de Bruyne, he pipped Liverpool for the services of Mohamed Salah , brought Nemanja Matic back from Benfica and secured a centre-back for the future in Kurt Zouma. That leaves them roughly pounds 10m up on the month, and while severe critics might point out that Matic at pounds 21m was a wholly unnecessary outlay considering the club let him go for next to nothing three years ago, Jose Mourinho had all the Mata money to play with and at least appears to have a firm plan in mind for the way he wants his team to operate."
