Re: Juan Mata is a must

Interesting that on our official website on the 'What The Media Says' section, we are running with the Independent story

It's a good article, mentions Silva's influence on Mata

The latter article by Jensen is certainly worth reading.

But I think that our Official Website is actually referring to the following article by Sam Wallace, also in today's Independent:

[Strictly speaking, the OS link is to the Irish Independent.]

Re: Juan Mata is a must

I will be honest. I would be happy with any of Schneider, Mata or Nasri. All top players, all address our need.

Nice to see us starting to be linked with Mata anyway. It was mainly speculation up until recently (well, sort of still is).

I'm with you although I'd add Pastore for a shortlist of 4

We really need to say to Wenger, "sell us Nasri or your chances of getting Mata will instantly disappear." Then Wenger can make the choice, keep Nasri, let him go an a free next summer and lose out on Mata or he can sell us Nasri and use the money for Mata. He'd be an idiot to choose the first option.

Or just not say anything at all, and go get Mata.

But Mancini visibly want Nasri more so Lancet Fluke's idea would work.

Indeed, I'd be happy with that but I get the feeling the club would rather have Nasri. Either way, I'm happy because if we get one of these two I reckon we must be contenders for the title next season.
