Thats an interesting one. After missing out on Ozil there were reports everywhere in France that Mata was top of PSGs list. Ozil cost 42m£. May be Chelsea didnt want to strengthen them further like Arsenal ? or it may just have been Chelsea need of depth, Jose did bang on about needing a proper squad for all comps.

Man City get bank rolled by Mansours empire. What has Roman got to bank roll via 'third party' ?

Hell rumours are Rooney will get nearer £300,000 a week!

Utd need a CL spot or they could face a squeeze at a time of needing to rebuild.
