Mata ... Available ..... Really ?

We should have bought Mata first time around and not doing so was a major mistake from us. If he is available now we shouldn't make the same mistake twice by not signing him especially as he now has Premiership experience. Mata, Silva & Villa were devastating for Valencia and having two out of the three would seriously strengthen our creativity department and our strength-in-depth.

I've always said that we need 3 x creative No 10's and Mata would create this with us already having Nasri & Silva. We suffer when Silva isn't available and Mata would be perfect as he could cover the left whilst Nasri could move inside to cover Silva.

If they'd sell for £20m, I'd snatch their hands off.......

Doubt they'd sell for 20m. Think we'd be looking more around the 35-40m mark especially as we're a rival.

This is impossible. Paris Saint-Germain reportedly readying a £30 million bid. And Juan's value is around 39.500.000£.
But I agree with you in the rest of your post. I'd probably go for him too if his selling price would worth for it.
 
Well it is fair to ask why is he available ?

If it is his lack of defensive effort then we simply will not be interested.
Look at how Navas works his balls of as well as being a fine tuned speed merchant.
I just don't see it, however would not like to see him go to utd.
 
People saying Mourinho wouldn't sell him to us - he has little say in the matter. If we were to make an offer it would be down to Abramovich or whoever to negotiate and decide whether they can sell to us, not Mourinho. However, can't see Pellegrini being interested in Mata unfortunately.
 
Going on the assumption that our (current) first choice midfield would be Merlin, Samir (or Jesus), Yaya and Fern; if we were to sign Mata, who would we drop to play him? Hardly Yaya or Fern (different type of player), so that would leave the remaining three. Isn't Merlin almost an automatic pick? So, Samir or Jesus then.
 
i think we should put in an audacious, unexpected and publicized bid for Mata. Then perhaps Mourinho might come to his senses. Mata will be a great addition to the squad and will complete the offense, if it is not complete already.

But this is as far fetched as there can be.
