    hahaha ,.. yes that one <laugh>

    in a serious note, who decided to go for Willian? Jose or Abra acting as a manager again?

    according to news, you win now the battle to sign him .. and Levy was so pi$$ed off that he is ready to call off Bale move

    Don't think we're actually in for him tbh.

    Who broke the story? Skysports. Which betting site is taking bets for Willian's next club? ONLY Skybet.

    Got to be the other way round Purley, Jose is showing his desperation day by day, Rooney is his only target, he will pay whatever it takes (money or players) to get him.

    eeerrr...no he wont.

    I put Mata and Rooney at a similar level price wise. Especially given Mata's age and he's on a longer contract.

    seems like an exchange that can be negotiated. The situation is like this:

    The chavs are desperate to get Rooney (Maureen said he was the last piece of the jigsaw).

    United are not keen to let him go (even if he does want to leave). And we are not desperate to get Mata.

    So we are in a strong position. If the Chavs give us Mata and £30 million then we could possibly have a deal. Otherwise no deal. What's the downside of a no deal? We have an unhappy player who wishes to leave.

    The upside? We'll let the Chavs know that they can't have one of our players if we don't him to go.
    We haven't reinforced a rival for the title.
    The Glazers will lose some money and the dividends will be lower. That for me is a plus...<ok>

    Mata doesn't want to leave, he's happy and settled in London.

    Can't see us getting Rooney anyways, will probably end up with Eto or Martinez.

    I wouldn't mind getting rid of fat Roon, provided he goes to a non-rival and we get a top striker in exchange. Have had enough of his selfishness and petulance <ok>

    Mata and £30 Million?! hahaha
    <laugh>

    I wouldnt even want a straight swap for those two, would still feel we were getting ripped off.

    Its not going to happen. We will buy Eto'o and you will be left with an unhappy, sulky fat boy.
    Mission accomplished.

    Everytime someone mentions Twitter as a source, they should get an electric current of 50 volts through their keyboard into their face.

    Funny that this is exactly how I would feel too as I do not rate Mata that much and we didnt/aren't making a play for him.

    Either £30m+ and Mata for rooney or no deal. It is not as if we are despearte to sell Rooney to the Chavs or get Mata.

    As for a fat sulky scouser, the team tends to rally round each other and can you imagine the sense of achievement they would feel if they did win without him? it is not as if they haven't had to play without him. The likes of RVP, welbeck, Hernandez, valencia, kagawa, giggs, and others will have to step up to the plate. After all they do not have as much experience of winning titles as the chavs, do they ...<whistle>
