Villa deserved more yesterday. I'm already way off about my relegation prediction. Sorry Villa.

Word from Chelsea throughout the summer has been that Mata is simply not for sale, and he is understood to be one of owner Roman Abramovich's three favourite players at Stamford Bridge.

An undercurrent of the summer, however, has been that manager Jose Mourinho is not as keen on the Spanish playmaker. Although the Portuguese boss is fully prepared to use him as one of the primary attacking players in his first-choice XI, Mourinho is said to think that off-loading Mata may not be the worst decision if it ensured strengthening elsewhere - especially up front.

Oh man Jose went back to Chelsea just to sell Roman's favorite player to United. Classic double switch, watch him get fired for it

Scott, would you take Samuel Eto'o right now? Who would you bring in at striker? No offense, but Ba, Lukaku, and Torres are not the three strikers of a championship team.

I would take Eto'o and loan/sell Ba.

All that being said I think we could win the title with the squad we have now. I think we could win the title with out Mata. I think we can win the title with Mata at United and Rooney at Chelsea. Hazard, Oscar, KdB, Schurrle, Moses all can play in the 3 attacking MF and if Rooney was at CFC he could also play the 10 behind Torres or Lukaku.

I trust Jose and I will trust any move he makes.

All that being said, I still don't see Mata being sold.

If Juan Mata goes to United and Rooney comes to Chelsea I think this title will still be coming to Stamford Bridge

Looks like I was wrong, this Willian/Chelsea thing appears to be real after Jose's comments today. Sounds like Moses would be loaned out. If Jose wants really wants him, that is good enough for me, I guess.

That's a weird way of spelling Old Trafford.

Mata supporting RVP would end all hopes of anyone beating Man United. They'd score like 6 a game.

really interested to see what develops this next week at arsenal. took flamini on a free today

scottwildcat · « **Reply #4121 on:** August 23, 2013, 01:01:05 PM »

Mata isn't leaving its become clear today Jose will keep him. Willian looks to be coming. VM will be loaned out probs to Everton. Maybe we will get a striker maybe we won't. From what I've read it looks like talks are done with United for Rooney.

Also because of my IRL and gE Spurs buds I have moved off my dislike for the club but if this is going to turn into the gE hooligans vs scottwildcat's Blue and White Chelsea Army then so be it.

losing out on willian may be a long-term win for the gE EPL thread
