I think he could have the same impact as silva except he'd score the goals him and silva in the same team would be a joy to behold.
 
Re: Juan Mata is a must

aye hes defo more of a goal scorer than silva bit i think the goals will come for silva this season,we need more goals from a wide position,aj chipped in with a few but we need double figures from couple other players

Could be he wanted to finish U21 tourny before thinking about any transfers. I can hope!

A very similar scenario to Silva's transfer last year, and we all know how that turned out.

This guy possesses the edge on goalscoring where as Silva possesses the edge on assists but to have them both in the same team would be amazing.

Different leagues but positive Mata had more assists.
 
Re: Juan Mata is a must

Mata is a better finisher then Silva.. but then again so are most of us. ;)

But, I don't see him as a deep laying or second striker at all; he's a playmaker, an attack-minded midfielder who can play wide, very similar to Silva, constantly changing from left to centre to right, causing havoc for the opposing defence.
 
Re: Juan Mata is a must

Unfortunately I think If we're really after Sneijder like TH says we are, and we nab Sanchez, we won't go for Mata.

Shame, really. :S

Sneijder and Sanchez on top of what we have already got, yes I would be absolutely gutted with that, shame!
 
Re: Juan Mata is a must

Mata will become as good as Sniejder in due course, he would be a cheaper option on wages, would be a cheaper option on transfer value, is younger and already has playing time with Silva.

In my opinion he is less of a risk and will become just as good.

I would prefer Mata to Sneijder any day (yes I know I will get flack for saying this).

Anyway if Sneijder does come to the prem it's most likely to be the Rags.

he's looked decidedly average this tournament

What? He has about 3 assists and 2 or 3 goals, and ran the game against England.
 
Re: Juan Mata is a must

Guess the sooner the Spanish go out of the U21 the quicker we will find out if Mata signs for City. In no rush though. Would love him to sign as a tournament winner.
 
Re: Juan Mata is a must

Well they just scored in extra time, so looks like they'll be in the final!
