Mata would be a great signing. He has been unwanted by Mourinho and Van Gaal inherited him. I think under a manager that clearly wants him and plays him in his best position he will show his class.

Good job the collective posters of GOT don't pick the squad on a Saturday then, isn't it?

Amazing that some people are having a moan about us signing the likes of Juan Mata. Are blues memories really that short?

Heres the thing though mate, IF you are gonna go for the 'realtively' easy gamble on saying Mourinho is going to United, then it was pretty common knowledge that Giggs would be on his way out, so you may as well make the 'bold' predicitoon priot that Giggs will be leaving United, then come out with Mourinho is gonna get the job atb a later point, one leads to the other - but the Giggs prediction seems to give your ITK status more credibility
As an example - say i was gonna try blag an ITK at Everton rep, i'd create some twitter account, and given the fact that i am pretty certain we will be investing heavily in the centre of mid this season - whcih a lot of journos and a few people with a bit of info connected to the club have supported (@The Esk for example and fox on TEF) i wouldn't open with ITK stories about us singing Mata, Schneiderlein etc, but isntead open up with a story about McCarthy being sold - because if we invest in the midfield then in all likelihood he will after the arrivals get flogged
For a decent example, a few clever ITk type stories for us for someone wanting to try to look itk (as it's always in hindsight people get these reps) woudl be McCarthy being sold - and can even put a few guess teams int heir - as if it happens it's likely to be a certain calibre of team that would come in for him - say Stoke, maybe even Leicester, Swansea etc
Besic to go on loan - incoming midfielders will push him down the pecking order - but he's still young enough to maybe not be sold straight away, so a loan would be a smart chouice for all involved
Cleverley to be sold to the likes of a newly promoted team or bottom 4-5 type outfit
tarashaj - to be loaned out, IF mata comes in then his opportunities will be limited, hes young and has potential, so a smart choice
If someone put all these up over the next few weeks then theirs a good chance that 2-3 of them will happen, and in a nutshell people would start following that accoutn as it looks like the bloke has called thigns way before the press got wind of them, when in fact they are just edicated guesses based on playing a hunch or from looking at genuined rumours about incoming and the effect that would have oin current players their.

balague like a lot of Journalists that at a time had some ITK contacts overplayed it mate and for years he has not had anything of note, thats the funny thing with journalists/pundits etc, if they don't play it smart then the people pasisng info will just cut them out

Maybe we should scrap the Mata deal and get Drenthe on loan, I mean were going to have too many good players soon!!

I honestly don't see Koeman being here long term - ie more than 3 years mate, it makes absolutely no sense for him to build a team for whoever comes after him, he will want to win and increase his reputaion and the best way for him to do so is to buy the ready made player

@bluestevon your far too smart and rational for this place mate ..
What do u feel about the transfer? Likely? When there is smoke there is fire right? Typing the words Mata and Everton together on a Twitter search shows just how many links there are and how many different sources there are also and the bookies odds too
I'm personally getting excited!!

I think I'll pass out if we actually sign Juan Mata. What a time to exist

Guessing it will go ahead mate, there's noticably not many other clubs (if any) getting linked in the media which for me anyway would suggest the deal is very close and United/his agent are both happy with how discussions have gone so far. The more clued up media have been either tiopped off or have got widn of it, the rest are following their lead
Player has a very good relationship with our manager, has seen a manager come in who has sold him before and doesnt rate him, has seen his replacement arrive already from Dortmund - so the writing is on the wall for him. and we are in a position to pay him whatever he wants, make him a focal point of the team, and the lad doesn't even have to move house

How would our midfield line up with Mata and Barkley as I want both of them in the first 11
