Morpheus Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) I stated that in answering your previous question about Mata being a 'panic buy.' Mata can and has excelled playing out wide. He might be a Rooney replacement but rumours in the press are stating that Rooney may be signing a new deal. Either way Mata is an excellent signing and one that certainly isn't a panic buy which was your original point. He "can play" out wide, but that isn't where his strongest position is. That's why it's more of a panic buy (unless they already know Rooney is leaving in the summer or something). Maybe I'm not getting what I'm trying to say across clearly enough. See these articles for what I mean; http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/29326/9126174/juan-mata-to-manchester-united-gary-neville-not-sure-he-fits-philosophy http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/jan/21/juan-mata-manchester-united-chelsea http://www.dailystar.co.uk/columnists/paul-merson/362253/Manchester-United-are-making-a-big-mistake-signing-Juan-Mata And also where he generally scores from in this; http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25871279 Anyway... enough Man Utd! (Although we should definitely make a cheeky loan offer for Kagawa now - back on topic ) Thats actually quite interesting to read that, especially Gary Neville's viewpoint from the perspective that even with a new manager in place bringing new ideas in how he would want Man U to play, Neville is still thinking that Moyes will play the same way as they did under Fergie. I think in time when Moyes gets who he wants, Man U will set up differently and its maybe the reason why Moyes got rid of several of the Man U coaches. I agree though this should go into the Manchester thread. Edited January 26, 2014 by Morpheus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suttonpaul Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Using your last post that would come under bad planning unless there were a small amount of the original budget yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm hoping that Lambert has found some AMC other than Hollahan that he'll surprise us with in the next days. Preeeeeetty please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I think expecting a signing at this point is setting yourself up for disappointment. Doubt anyone else is coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Enough United and enough Mata, that belongs in another forum, but it's quite humorous that a few people are writing off Mata as a panic buy and similar to what they have.... when we play Weimann and Gabby out of position every single week. I would go as far as saying we are ruining Weimann's development the way we are turning him into an ineffective winger with no emphasis on his striking ability. The more he plays out there the less we will develop that poaching ability, something I guess he wants to do in terms of his career. He is basically just running, fighting, sprinting and defending every time each team counter on each other. He has only scored two goals this season Andreas, one of them being that counter hail mary-headed flick-run-shoot goal against City. The last one of course came last weekend against Liverpool, but I guess 1500 minutes and 2 goals is hardly what he wanted before this season.

villaglint Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Anybody heard of Bibras Natkho? Someone on football rumours linking us to him. Never heard of him myself but there are some decent write ups about him.

abdomlahor Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I wouldn't be shocked if it was us. Maybe we wanted Zaha on loan but were beaten to him and Ince is an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
