Transfer Rumour Juan Mata

[ToffeeTim]

Seriously, you can all let this one go now - he's not coming. Neither is Witsel or Carvalho. They were all nonsense.

I'm aware it's a very very long shot. But not willing to let go to be honest.

This is the juan we've waited for.

Starting due to Pogba's suspension, apparently

Balls that means Jose sees him as an option to play further back which increases his likelihood of getting minutes and thereby increasing his desire to want to stay.

Yea I'd expect front 4 of rooney ibra lingard and martial like last week. Mata really has no prospects there.

With Mata and Carrick behind. I'm not so sure Jose will play him instead of Herrera, Fellaini etc

Mats won't play deep. Not a chance.

Not deep as such but Jose may play a 4-3-3 with Mata and Rooney the two furthest forward midfielders.

Basically playing with two No 10s.

After all it's probably the formation that suits Ibra the most who did look a bit starved in the Charity Shield game and he probably doesn't expect Bournemouth to offer much.

There is little chance he plays Mata deep in a role where he can play Herrera who will offer much more defensively.

I agree but he might given they only playing Bournemouth. Let's hope not.

Mind the cliche but there are no easy games in this league anymore, doesn't matter who you are. After his awful season with Chelsea, I think he may have to wake up to the fact that other teams know he's no longer invincible.

my other halfs brother (Man U fan) says rumours he's heard is that Mata may not even be in the squad tomorrow.

 

[Happy Nick]

The most critical position yet to be filled is the attacking creative midfielder. I'm sure Koeman will address this and I really think it will be Mata.

If true, the writing really is on the wall for Mata.
