Re: Juan Mata is a must

Could just be leverage for Nasri me thinks.

Makes sense to me. Then again, I'm a cynical git :-).

Mata would be absolutely perfect for us.

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

^Very interesting indeed. The editor has teased us before.

Is Mata the final piece to the puzzle?

Re: Juan Mata is a must

Couldn't care less about Mata tbh, a good player don't get me wrong but I'd rather have Nasri or Sneijder, the same applies to Pastore, I really don't get the hype.

I read in some news that Arsenal are in a pool position to sign him and have accepted to pay the demanded price.

This Arsenal blog seems to agree.

Juan Mata is expected to be a guest of Arsenal at this weekend’s Emirates Cup and will complete his transfer to the club subject to a medical – so says Mr Phillipe Auclair.

Now that is a man to pay attention to when he speaks transfers and Arsenal.

The fee is in the region of 15M Euros up front with add ons taking it to a new Arsenal Transfer record in excess of 20M Euros.

Not much more to say apart from GTFI.

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

Re: Juan Mata is a must

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.
