    Utd get Mata for 36/37 million.

    Hazard was sold for 30m + 6m-ish agents fees.

    Chelsea got the better side of that alright.

    Mata is back on the bench when Di Maria is fit.

    Don't think aanyone debating that Hazard is not the better player, dunno where that came from? I'd swap Mata and 25 million for Hazard!

    Utd had the opportunity to sign Hazard but Fergie wouldn't pay agents fees.

    WTF has that got to do with Mata?

    I seem to recall Hazard being particularly unlikeable at that stage, tweeting every couple of days about which club he wanted to join (bit like LeBron James when he was going to Miami). Don't think it was agents fees but I could be wrong.

    Edit: As magic said, Hazard is bringing it off topic.

    There were a couple of posters popping in here laughably saying he was "past his peak". I'm just having a pop back, is that simple enough to understand?
    I'm not proclaiming him to be better than anybody else.

    Liverpool fans have a strange obsession with Mata

    Hazard chose to go to London. Pretty much the same way as Sanchez went when Liverpool thought they had him

    I think it was Oscar keeping him out of the team. Don't think anyone was signed as a replacement. Jose just didn't like Mata, happens in every club when a manager comes in. Mata was immensely popular and say that's probably why Mourinho wasnt a fan

    And I'm just saying that you might be happy with Matas game today but Chelsea are the real winners.

    Do they. I just find it funny when fans abuse the ****e out of a player and then if he comes good you hear the old, I always backed him. A always knew he would make it. It happens in every club.

    Who was abusing the sh*te out of him?
    And are they the same people praising him now?
    You seem to think every single United fan has the same opinions.

    There's genuine criticism and abusing the ****e out of him. Two completely different things.
    Not sure who has been abusing the ****e out of him

    It wasn't aimed at you so you shouldn't care anyway.

    Abusing the ****e out of him was very harsh in fairness. He did get a fair amount of criticism in fairness.

    Don't they think they have a chance of signing him or something. Mata doesn't play for mid table teams.

    Yes and from me included but he has been very impressive in the last two games in particular

    Our most creative player this xmas period but this is what I have always wanted from him

    Some sublime play today again from mata he could of had multiple assists today only for some poor finishing from rvp and fal

    36 million or you could say 1 Markowitz plus one Balotelli for Mata

    Money well well spent there for a world class player
