Firstly I think its great to see the site so active
Jose is on his way and my guess is that he has known it for some time so I'm sure there a plans in place to secure his preferred targets.
I have no idea like everybody else on here who those targets are. And without the reliable info from 002 we are more in the dark than ever and thus far the press seem to have no concrete leads as to who we are targeting.
There is a lot of putting 2 plus 2 together and coming up with 5 with the possible acquisition of zlatan and varane and the possible sale of Mata but its only guess work.
Jose will have spoken to the club about certain players I'm sure and patience will be needed by us all.
Ddg well be key as we all know and I'm hoping that Jose will be able to convince him to stay and I hope he will make him our captain.

I think Mata will stay. He's a senior player and Jose will have bigger issues to deal with. Suspect he'll get phased out though and not so sure he'll still be here after next summer - hope he is though.

You hope Jose makes DDG captain?! Must be silly season.

Why do you say that dodgy?

Goalkeeper as captain? Not so sure about that.
I think the Jose and Mata thing is being deliberately blown of proportion, . At the time Chelsea accepted an offer from United for £42 million, I am pretty sure we would accept that offer for him now, it does not mean he thinks he is useless, he just couldn't turn down the silly amount we were willing to offer.

I think mata is not the Mourinho type player. He likes his mids strong in the tackle and to have some physical presence.
The only place he could play is a no 10 but not sure he is good enough and fast enough for jose's liking at number 10 either.
He will definitely not play him at right wing as all his winners are fast and direct. ie willian, hazard, quadrado, saleh etc etc
For some reason i think he will keep fellaini which will shock people.

Ddg is said to be a very quiet person off the field and isn't that vocal on it, i would be very surprised if he was captain next year .
Ed always said mata left for non football reasons.
