Juan Mata

[-Afri-Coy-]

Weirder shit has happened in football so don't totally right this deal off. It is however highly unlikely that they would sell to us even if Mourinho doesn't rate Mata to sell us a player of such class and quality immediately damages the other big teams as we already have a squad good enough to compete for top honors this season.

Quick call to Standard Liege in November just to "see how things are going" and by Christmas they are receiving a nice shiny Mata for roughly 40 million pounds and loan him back to us for a season with a buy-out option
