If Juan Mata moves to United: The options at hand

Mata to United rumors are in full swing. If reports are to be believed the negotiations between Chelsea and United representatives have begun in order to lure Mata away from Stamford Bridge. Mata is definitely not going to be happy at SB with very little game time and getting to play in games involving lesser opponents. Surely he would be looking for more first team football afterall it’s the World Cup year and his place in the Spain XI is in jeopardy. He has to prove a point, a point he is not able to prove at Chelsea under Jose.

Lets take a look at possible options Chelsea management face regarding Mata’s future and a potential new club for him in Manchester United

1. United to sign Mata for say £40-42 million:

A GREAT deal for United. United get one of the best CAM in the world for a premium yes, but quality is never cheap and in today’s inflated market, it’s a steal. Knowing what Mata can do on the pitch, i say he is worth it. United gets the better deal with respect to player and cash in the long run.

2. United sign Mata and Chelsea get an “option” on Rooney:

Jose is a massive Rooney fanboy and he will be looking to get something on Rooney in return. A transfer in January is out of question although this will be Jose’s first demand. If not he would be looking for an option in the summer. Meaning Mata to United in January, Rooney to join Chelsea in June.

This to me is the most likely scenario.  Since United are struggling for top 4, United would want to keep Rooney and add Mata in the squad to add quality. Once that goal is achieved or not, even then Chelsea can have Rooney who will have just one year left on his contract and a move to Chelsea will earn United handsome cash as well. Win Win?

3. Mata and Rooney direct swap in January

This is highly unlikely considering Rooney’s importance to United to get the 4th spot. It leaves united back to square one selling one classy player for another. Net effect is Zero.

4. Keeping Mata no matter what or sell to PSG if the interest is there

The option i would favour. He will obviously go there for lesser value but still better than pulling off a Wenger by selling your best player from last 2 years to a rival club.

We can can tempt PSG to sell Cavani, another unlikely move but better than selling Mata off to a rival.

Fact of the matter is Mata is as good as gone, if not in January then in June. But who is the better suitors in all this fiasco?

Mata move to United is not a logical one either. United with Mata and Rooney in the XI in a 4-4-1-1 system leaves United playing Mata on the wings. not his best position. Mata on the wings leaves United with defensive problems as well for an already weak backline you surely don’t deploy wingers who are lazy off the ball.

Unitted will have to change the system altogether which i don’t think can happen. It’s just not the ManUtd way.

It’s annoying really but it’s best for Mata to move a move to a non rival club i.e. PSG or if someone from Spain calls.

Some tough decisions to be made, but wherever Juan goes, i hope the Chelsea fans will let him know that he DID MATA.

To sum it up .. Chelsea NEED Rooney, United WANT Mata. Lets see who wins on the negotiation table.

UpTheChels.

    We don’t want Rooney and we can’t sell Mata to Utd,if Mou doesn’t want mata anymore we should sell him to a foreign club not Epl.But I really do pity this guy,he doesn’t deserve the kind of harsh treatment he’s receiving from Mou!

  2. I don’t understand your suggestions.This is what. Causes trouble at Chelsea.Not fair.We should be encouraging mou to give/demand more playing time for Mata!!.He is ours,ours!.We still need him.Give him more playing time,He is good,the whole world knows it.

  3. Martin, Norway.

    The worse nightmare is to sell Mata to United. I can’t imagine this realistically better we offer him free to Valencia than to sell him to United our rivals. We made an error in the past by selling Sturridge to Liverpool so hope am proven wrong the least am expecting is to sell him to our rivals. Mourinho be wise don’t sell him to our rivals.

  4. Come on Jose

    Mata > Oscar

  5. Mata to United = Funny

    Jose Is not So Stupid to allow it! Remember we made a bid for Rooney? So it’s our turn

    loan him to atletico madrid,not selling him he is a good player its just that mou hates spaniards,look what he did to spain no.1 casillas.

    • And replaced him with who. Better be quiet if you don’t know what to say. For the fact he doesn’t play mata doesn’t make him hate spanish players, case in point azpilicueta.

      Wat bullshit xavi alonso and arbeloa were to of his favourite players at real so stop talking shit about he hates the spanish

    • Anonymous

      So Cesar Azpilicueta and F Torres ar nt Spaniard? Or wot do u mean?

    • Another one with bs arguments. If Casillas is so good why the first choice for the league is STILL Lopez? Iker is a good keeper, overrated though, with several limitations and a great press support, as is Ramos who has less concentration that Luiz and that’s saying a lot. If Jose hates spaniards, how did Xabi and Alvaro Arbeloa (this last one always received critics of the “specialized press” for not being a Cafu) always played regularly with him? Why Azpi and Torres are enjoying regular first team football, aren’t they spanish? I’m starting to get tired of this “debate”, with all this noise around him, I’m sadly beggining to want to Juan leave Chelsea fast (and not because of him). At least, the Juan Mata FC supporters will presumably disappear… even another “killed” career will appear sooner than later… KTBFFH!!!

  7. This rumour is funny, mou refused 2 sel ba to arsenal cos he considers them a title rival nw u are talkin of selin a player of mata’s quality 2 another rival? Nw that makes mou utterly stupid and it doesn’t make sense at al.

  8. Mata to united is a total farce..it mins we ar seelin our best player 4 d past 2 seasons 2 or rival united..unless we can get rooney too..deir best player..den dat will b even..no cheatin..d deal shud b,,take our best player nd give us ur best player..no victor no vanquish

  9. This is the sad part of mou’s era. The truh is mata is going. Eitther in jan or the summer. The most painful sale which hurt me the most was robben. If mata goes, this wld hurt me even more. Mata deserves better than the way he is being treated in chelsea. Am I the oly one who feels rooney for mata wld be shooting ourselves in the foot. Mata is still in his prime. Rooney is almost done. He has @ most 3 years of top form. Mata has several years. Let’s just see what happens. Up chelsea

  10. mata z my best player, jose z our coach, chelsea z our team, we all hav 2 put tins 2gether as 1, we need mata, we need jose most, so i just tink dat de best way we can help mata z 2 let him go onloan 2 At.madrid just 2 hav much playing tim, den after dis season, we can tak him bak, just 4 him 2 mak it 2 world cup, so dat no 1 we los, 1st we did not him, an he mak it a de world cup, as 4 sealing him 2 man u. ‘NO’ we dont want wot hapen 2 matic 2 do again, an not 2 sulffer wot asenal z hapening 2 asenal against man u, 4 those who tink dat jose hav eny prob wit mata, i dont tink z so

    i think we talk more of what our manager have done to this boy and forget of what mata have done to Jose… by this i mean, mata was told to improve if he want first team selection but u never know what he is doing about that….. Willian worked for his name, today he is favoured ahead of schrule, so let mata do the same

    • I agree with you 100%. If Mata had shown himself in the few opportunities he had, some critics would have an argument. What some seem to forget is that Juan performance’s this year have been very weak (some say he lacks “continuity”, but Andre or Willian lacked that too and when they enter the field they are ready to fight). I cannot understand the argument that Jose is trying to “kil” Juan’s career, it doesn’t make any sense to me. With all that, I’m getting a bit tired of that noise around Juan, and starting to want him to leave sooner than later.

      • @maritime: Good post. You know this blog is become Mata or Mikel “Fan club”. When asked why Mata cannot defend and assist the striker like Hazard, Oscar or William do, No one can reply to my simple question. Since Mata has been at Chelsea, we always finish 15 to 20 points behind the leader. If it were not because of Mou, Chelsea will be in same situation like UTD and we will look to seek 3 or 4 th place. So, tell the so call Mata “Fan club” to shut up and let mou works. I am so happy that Mata has gone. Lazy cunt

  12. Listene mourhino knows what he is doing,,mata was great where he could do his own thing on the field,,now it’s different,if we want to win the league again,,I say trust the special one,,I do 100%..end of this is Chelsea football club…..

  13. Charlie Bit My Finger

    MUfc are bidding for the wrong player. They NEED Lukaku like Cfc NEED Rooney. Direct swap would mean both clubs win. As for mata, I’m sure he’ll fit in Lukaku’s suitcase. 🙂

  14. if jose knows he wil sell mata dis january,why not sell him last summer when cfc wouldve easily made 50million.now his value has gone down.even direct swap wit rooney isnt a good busines b\cos mata is 25 & rooney is 29.look @ roben & sturidge,de question is when wil chelsea learn their lesson?we lost roben & got malouda,but whil roben is doin wel even til now,malouda hav disapearif jose knows he wil sell mata dis january,why not sell him last summer when cfc wouldve easily made 50million.now his value has gone down.even direct swap wit rooney isnt a good busines b\cos mata is 25 & rooney is 29.look @ roben & sturidge,de question is when wil chelsea learn their lesson?we lost roben & got malouda,but whil roben is doin wel even til now,malouda hav disapearif jose knows he wil sell mata dis january,why not sell him last summer when cfc wouldve easily made 50million.now his value has gone down.even direct swap wit rooney isnt a good busines b\cos mata is 25 & rooney is 29.look @ roben & sturidge,de question is when wil chelsea learn their lesson?we lost roben & got malouda,but whil roben is doin wel even til now,malouda hav disapearif jose knows he wil sell mata dis january,why not sell him last summer when cfc wouldve easily made 50million.now his value has gone down.even direct swap wit rooney isnt a good busines b\cos mata is 25 & rooney is 29.look @ roben & sturidge,de question is when wil chelsea learn their lesson?we lost roben & got malouda,but whil roben is doin wel even til now,malouda hav disapeard.
