Transfer Rumour Juan Mata

Neiziro · July 2, 2016

Looks like it's Mat-ON for now - many reports linking us with him, the Esk included. Hope this isn't another Moutinho or another Yarmolenko rumour.

What a signing he'd be, too. A real statement of intent of our ambition under Moshiri and Koeman, and he also covers an area we are severely lacking in. We've needed a player like Mata for years - he'd offer a blend of experience and world-class quality to the side, easily our best player.

I really hope we manage to pull this off.

Fingers crossed. He's the player we've needed for my entire flipping lifetime.

I can almost taste the through balls.

"The best little Spaniard we know". Unless Deulofeu plays a blinder this season then he'll be "The second best little Spaniard we know".

Would love this to happen !! Mourinho sold him once so obv doesnt rate him. It would be a massive statement for us to sign a player of his calibre, just depends what ambitions he has as a player. Does he want to go to another champs league team and be in an out the side or come to us and have a team built around him and be part of a long term plan !! Get him Mosh !!

Here in NZ, all All Blacks must meet a pre-requisite selection criterion : regardless of how good they are at footie, "no dickheads" are chosen.
And, yes, that is an official quote from the manager.
Juan Mata, as well as being a very good footballer, comes across as a very sound and unaffected bloke.
He'd be a fantastic addition.

He seems a nice bloke: after the Cup Final he took time to sort out that person in the wheelchair, very touching indeed.
