Re: Juan Mata is a must

We should put in for at least 3 of the Spanish players. Martinez, Herrerra, Ruben Perez, Parejo, Ruiz. None of these guys would cost over 10 million. The big money guys are Mata, Alacantara (15 probably), De Gea, and Nuniain. The rest will cost less that Ten. I mean we were being begged to take RUiz last season at 7 million :(

Martinez has a big buyout clause from athletic Bilbao(Liverpool couldn't even tempt him with 25 mil), as for ander Herrera he was just bought by Bilbao for 15 mil, Ruben Perez and parejo are average in Spain and can't see them improving much more. Ruiz just moved to Italy and won't be moving a time soon. I would love to see mata, or even Diego capel as they are more realistic targets and would make an immediate impact feeding the ball up top

Re: Juan Mata is a must

Martinez just signed a new 5-year contract with Bilbao didn't he? Hard enough to lure away the Basque boys, but one with a fresh contract would be nigh on impossible. Would love him at the club though, just feel we missed our chance in 2009 when we were supposed to be close to getting him.

No, to that dude. He is selfish. Not very Spanish :(

Re: Juan Mata is a must

Mancini is looking for a right-sided attacker. (Sanchez)

Mata is left-footed and i just wonder where Mata would fit if he was a target? He would take Silvas place as i have my doubts if Mancini would play either Mata or Silva in Yayas current position.

If he is eyeing another creative player. Just wonder if Sanchez is that guy or if he is not..what kind of creative playmaker you need?

Someone like Mata or someone like Pastore? Is he eyeing someone who would be back-up for Silva on the left or someone in the middle in Yayas position...like Pastore?

Dunno really if Mata would fit into our line-up with Silva.

Re: Juan Mata is a must

I know a lot might disagree but I rate mat a higher than Sanchez as I always see Sanchez getting tossed around and Italy is childsplay compared to the physicality and power of england. I know Silva no giant but he knows how to keep it moving and doesn't lose the ball easily unlike snchez.

We'll sign a creative midfielder yet I reckon but we will also have Assulin fit next season who is very talented and could play the Silva role.

I wasn't particularly impressed with his theatrics either.

Honestly from a business and longevity point of view I wish we would stop luring players with money, this can only keep them happy for so long as they want the big paydaay and then leave immediately. I understand we had no choice in past seasons as we had nothing else to offer, but now is the time we should start attracting players who would give their all for this badge and a core who are proud to wear city blue and won't scream transfer after one or two seasons
