And coincidently when he was at Valencia he played under Koeman and he's now settled in the north west and enjoys his Premier League wages and lifestyle, with lots of his compatriots in the area.
Valencia absolutely have the money, their main shareholder is worth 2.2 billion.
They can't afford to match his wages at United. Not saying we can definitely either, but we stand a better chance.
They may be able to afford his transfer fee, if they sell Gomes, but they don't have any players on anywhere close to what Mata is on.
But he hasn't chucked loads in to the playing staff, Kiwi.
The main money has gone on wiping out the massive debt and the stadium issue as well.
They've got money for the fee, but would they smash their wage structure?
Woh
sorry mate, Didn't realize you and Mata are very good friends
Wouldn't need to, Mata won't be on the same money as he was at United.But he hasn't chucked loads in to the playing staff, Kiwi.

The mods have requested we move discussions about ITK credentials to the ITK thread, you're welcome to join us.Obviously not.
However, I worked in Manchester in the sports reporting industry for 18 months in 2014 and 15. They have quite the clique with the Spanish players and by all accounts Mata is settled in the area.
Obviously, that could change. But you're basing your entire, negative argument on an opinion-piece on Squawka...
@The Esk is a well-respected member and mod on this forum and has no reason to lie, and he mentioned Mata weeks ago.
He was spot on about RM, spot on about Koeman and all things Moshiri so far. He's not some new ITK who has come out of nowhere, is he?
Spent 120m last summer

Yet none of those players are on over 100k per-week wages... And they sold some key players like Otamendi to help fund that as well.
And due to their terrible season is unlikely to spend huge again (this has all been well documented) without making some return on the players they bought.
Sold 40m worth of players and spent 120m
Show me the wage break down for the club
Mate, that's really small time. Yes, it would be fantastic to the double over them. But to suggest that is all you want when there's another 36 games? We're better than that.
Double over the RS
Knock the RS out the Cup
Finish above the RS
