Juan Mata (Merged)

Re: Juan Mata is a must

The contrast between the first and second halves last night - with and without David Silva - surely highlighted our desperate need for at least one, and preferably two, creative / attacking midfielders to complement and support David. We really need to anticipate the added pressure from Champions League football. I would like to see two of Mata, Pastore, Nasri or Sneijder. An attraction of Mata would be tat he would develop an understanding with David very quickly.

^^This^^ But as I've already said if we only got 2 of them what happens when one is out for a period of time? We can't heap the creative pressure on Silva's slight shoulders in 4 competitions next season because we'll end up burning him out.

It may be a dream, but its not an impossible one because all these players are apparently available. Aguero up front, Nasri right, Mata left, Sneijder & Silva behind Aguero, Yaya/NDJ as DM. If that line-up doesn't whet anyone's appetite, nothing will.

What happens to the players left out? It's natural selection, if they're good enough they will get their playing time. We're fighting on 4 fronts next season, we need to realise that it not going to be a walk in the park if we intend to compete for every competition we're in.

Well, that is a bit cheeky of them, seeing as Cazorla was never a Valencia player :P

Marca apparently saying Mata to sign with Arsenal for 15 million EUROS. I can't believe this but if true, this represents a serious fuck up on city's part.

extremely doubtful with that fee! Valencia have resisted offers and they would now sell for 12-13 mil pounds? Can't see it.

I did yes i still say that its obvious we dont have much interest in him if any at all really. Not saying he isnt talented but we not exactly been heavily linked with him have we

Ahhh misread your statement...thought you meant Arsenal hasn't made a move to sign him.

To your point. Yes it would be a serious fuck up if we don't make a move to sign him (in my opinion). The fact that the club doesn't want him would be the "serious fuck up." Your statement only makes sense if you believe we shouldn't want him. We are very thin up front. We need at least three signings to give us the depth we need. Aguero is 1. We need two more. I hope Mata is one of them.
