Transfer Rumour Juan Mata

[matty1878]

if united start pre-season tomorrow would mata just land straight from his holidays and head to training? doesnt seem practical to me.

Maybe the nxt training session then if he's just come back from holiday

I'd really like it if Everton signed Juan Mata.

I think it would be very nice thing to do too.

Do you play Bingo mate? Online or in real life?

Yes I'd say Mkhitaryan is a direct replacement.

I don't, bores me tbh.

I know very little of dortmunds players bar the ones that are well spoken of. Partly because their names kind of mash together for me when they are all like 10 letters long with enough of them to score quite high on scrabble lol

Least it means it becomes more certain mata leaves them anyway.

Mata signing would help us bring a better level of player in..

Get him!!

Lol. Did you see the story about him breaking "Power Records" in his Utd medical....

Was his power rating over 9000?

Ok I am going to say it.

This thread will eclipse the Koeman one.

Yes I'd say Mkhitaryan is a direct replacement.

He will be their right-winger in a 4-3-3 according to many journos/pundits:


Martial ------ Zlatan ------ Mkhitaryan

--------- CM ---------- CM -----------

---------------- DM -------------------



So even then, Mata wouldn't be needed. There isn't a chance Mourinho will keep Mata around anyway, he isn't mobile, quick or strong enough to fit in his system. You need to build the team around Mata to get the best out of him i.e. have players running around him doing the tackling and harrassing.

This is why I am not keen on the signing, honestly think we should be aiming for better players now. And no, I'm not a Kopite! Just an Everton fan with an opinion.
