This is probably going to get me pelters, but I'll say it regardless
Do we really need him?
As in, is there a gaping hole in the side that we desperately need Juan Mata to fill?
He's a big signing and a quality player certainly, but would he ultimately be a big signing for the sake of a big signing?
This isn't a WUM attempt BTW, it's just something I've been musing
Is it time we stop looking for big "statement" signings, and just start getting in the players who we most need?
Is it more important for Koeman to get the right players in and start building a strong team, or is it more important to see a big name player smiling while holding an Everton shirt, even if he's not really what we need at this moment in time?
