Selling players

Mata still has quality on the ball and passing ability. Much more than most, is not phased by being a back up option.

Hes never had legs, really doesnt make much difference in that regard.

It does tbf. Otherwise he could play til he was 50. And tbh Mata hasn't justified his squad place for two or three years now. He's just not sharp enough

Its not like he's walking around the pitch is it.

you could take the same stance with most of our squad, but then we would have very few players.

What an idiotic comment. He was much more mobile than he is now. And that is an issue. If you cant see it football isn't for you.

Would you expect a player of any calibre to be match fit and sharp when he is a squad player with limited minutes though? Bale may be in a similar situation at Spurs now.

He was the first name on the teamsheet at Chelsea and was consistently playing, I haven't seen that at United, seems more of a bit part player really.

Ed Woodward and Judge seem to suffer from Escalation of commitment syndrome

i see no one want Lingard, cant say im surprised on that one

Even United don't want him

It clearly has because I know when to let go of my idols. And I know Mata is one of yours.

It is time to take his picture off your bedroom wall and move onto the next one.

And I like Mata, I really do. He just cant play at this level anymore.

op, this is a direct consequence of throwing silly money to buy and sign players. Very few clubs can afford the unreasonable wages we pay mediocre players and the few that can are not interestedin mediocre players we want to sell
