What a window that would be, mind.

Witsel will know who Mata is of course but i dont think he would rush to sign to follow him here.
However he must know italian football and a mega bid fr koulibaly with Euros winning Carvalho to follow could swing it.
Strangely arousing that
Especially when you visualize it being Henderson on the end of that tackle.
Second striker.
Obviously not the Naismith type (btw, from what I saw of Tarashaj on Saturday he is perfect for that role as well), but basically the big lump that everyone else can feed off - though Fellaini can play a bit which he doesn't get enough credit for tbh.
Unless you're a Messi, Ronaldo, Zlatan etc. people aren't going to move teams just to play with you. Certainly not any of the names we've been linked with unless they're like good friends.

Not really seen Mata since he was at chelsea bar the random game tbh.....but i would say koulibaly and carvalho would add more to our current team.
We need a superstar CB and a top class DM more than someone who would push Barkley back to CM.
Also if its £70 odd mil for those two then Witsel would sit up and take notice.

I think its more the amount we would be paying for both that shows we mean business then he would be swung more than just getting mata

Sort of agree with that but he is another one for me that struggles to deliver his ability in any consistent way.
Can have a cracker and boss a game and then go missing for weeks.

Around Europe, maybe but hes not in the Spain squad and i doubt he alone would convince witsel to sign....maybe a spanish mate of his.

Witsel Juventus, nothing to do: Closes with Everton
How great is the Italian media?

I think he'll know that already by the wage we'll have offered him.
We won't be spending anything on a 'superstar' CB until our current superstar CB leaves Zat.
And yeh I agree that Carvalho would be ideal for Koeman's 4-3-3/4-1-4-1 (which is how he set us up against Barnsley) - and Barks absolutely thrived in the role on the left of that 3.
However, that's because he had the space and time on the ball and he doesn't get that in the PL. As good as he is we know that sides do double up on him and the best way to solve that IMO is getting a playmaker in of the quality of Mata or even Sigurdsson that creates more room.
In my view a player like that is worth the £25/30mil as it'll also help us get the best out of Barks.
While I'm at it, also expect Kev to have a good season this year if he can stay fit through pre-season and the early part of the campaign, while Del will certainly be fitter (the pre-match warm-ups alone were intense so training must be double-so, especially atm). Lennon I reckon will also feature quite a bit.
I think it's better that our fans lose their heads over it.
Somebody get on the flight tracker...
oh yeh totally agree, but for all the stick he gets he's been one of Utd's most effective players going forward in the last three years!
Bear in mind he went to Zenit on the back of "new money", it appeared that the Russian league was going to have a lot of money spent on it. In a way it may be more off-putting then encouraging.
