Sky Sources: Manchester UTD make £40m bid for Juan Mata through a third party #SSN

Ben Smith @BenSmithBBC 1m
#MUFC will need to come up with a fee of around £40m to get Mata but they are prepared to pay a premium to get him

Bloody hell

Bloody hell

Chelsea will screw them for a good fee

[ChesterDave]

If he was to leave Chelsea and stay in the PL and we did not bid I would be gutted. Great opportunity to get a genuinely quality player.

I hope so mate, gutted at the thought of Mata playing for United.

Contrary to earlier reports......

Juan Mata has been training in Cobham today as usual

@GuillemBalague: While in Cobham today, Mata has not trained with the group but he has trained. Not with the ball, mostly runs and physical work.

Why should he laugh it off and quit twitter because of the abuse? That means the idiots win.

I never said he should laugh it off. But he shouldn't troll which attracts idiots. He then goes to practically tarnish a whole set of fans as racists etc. Not accepting the abuse he gets but he is a **** on twitter most of the time

You'll need to prove that in court Bras.

But what you're advocating is the equivalent of Royal Mail scanning your letters for abusive content and banning you from sending letters again if they find it.

No Im not.

I am saying that if he is getting abuse through a platform then, that platform should be the ones doing something to help stop it.

In the situation you describe, the Royal Mail is the internet provider. But Twitter is the paper which the letter is written on. So the burden is not on the company that makes the connections, but the one that facilitates them.

The letter would be reported to the police and dealt with properly

Thats such a bad example I know. But I know what I mean
