I’m going to call it and say BS especially the 3 year contract.3 year extension, surely not

I think you'll find it was irony.From Mata to everyone, is a bit of leap isn't it? We have 4 players who are out of contract in the summer; Mata, Herrera, Darmian and Valencia.
We arguably need to sign players in their respective positions already. We can do without renewing their services.
Would be extremely surprising if true. If it was 3 years, I’d expect it to be a 2+1 year deal.3 year extension, surely not

He's only 31 ffs, he's hardly a fecking geriatric...he'd be 34 when his 3 year contract runs out...again, hardly old as feck for someone like Mata...3 years?
If true he'll be here for his double hip replacement!
Have you seen the poor fecker try to run in the last 2 years? I think he needs new hips already!He's only 31 ffs, he's hardly a fecking geriatric...he'd be 34 when his 3 year contract runs out...again, hardly old as feck for someone like Mata...
Played as a 10, he's one of our best passers of the ball, especially if/when Pogba goes, and his pace isn't an issue is it?
Hard not to feel really negative about things eh?If this is true this is the 4th stupid contract extension, following Jones, RoJo and Young
Scrapping the 1 year policy for a player on the decline. Giggs had to sign contract every season and played till 40. You would think if you’re going to rethink the policy then it’d be for some one like Ronaldo:/3 year extension, surely not

They literally had to do nothing and he'd have left. He's certainly not the worst player at the club, but his top 3 attributes whilst at the club include being intelligent and a nice guy, which says it all.The state of this club, they are not even good in clearing out the shit.
1 year.I dont think I have as much of an issue with Mata as the consensus seems to have, but even I have to say 3 years is not a good endictment of the summer ahead.
We have thread upon thread on here of transfer thoughts, and clear out options and so on, and this just stinks of us vindicating ourselves on the same threads where when asked to predict next years first XI post transfer season we joked/predicted DDG, Young, Jones, Lindelof, Shaw, Fred, McTom, Pogba, Mata, Rashford, Martial :/
I would have happily kept him on for a year but this is now clear that the board has lost all touch of reality and common sense. With his age what happened to the one year rolling contracts etc? Why THREE years?
Thinks its fair to say we can kiss goodbye to the summer that we hoped for.
Shame you don't own a football club, we could sign Mata on a free and sell him to you for £15m.Honestly, I have no idea why Mata would want to stay here. We dont play to his strengths, we force him into positions hes really not suited for and the fans poke at him constantly for it. Hed have been better returning to ML europe where his talents would be used properly. Imo, hes wasted the best years of his career here. Hes done nothing like he did at chelsea and thats on the mangers that refuse to play him where he can do the most good. A real shame.
