Re: Juan Mata is a must
Its funny how quite a few are now considering Mata after the under 21 tournament. I have been banging on about him on here for quite some time. He is the best pound for pound signing we could make. He is one of the least risky signings we could make. Even if we land Sanchez we should still go for him and now with Weiss wanting to go to Spain we have the added bonus of a make weight and less of a net spend.
Another great addition would be Javi Martinez as he could play DMF or a deep lying playmaker. If we got him there would be no need for a backup for De Jong, No need to renew Vierra's contract and even sell Barry and MJ as we would have Yaya Milner De Jong and Martinez. That would be a big saving on the wages (3 out 1 in).
If we get Sanchez and we needed to we could recoup some of the money by selling AJ and use Milner on the wing (not his best position granted). I think the Financial model going forward will be one similar to Barca with a small versatile squad with young prospects making up the numbers.
