I haven't seen an individual thread on him. Considering I started the Jordan Henderson thread, I should stress by complete and utter luck. I am hoping this thread should have the same effect as he the player most realistically linked with us I would love to see at the club.

Midfield and attack next season:


Lucas Gerrard

Suarez Mata Downing

Carroll

Dunno about Kuyt, Meireles.
 
He oozes class Ryan perhaps in a way David Silva does. Guile, pace and can pick a pass. I can see him drifting between the lines and finding space. I bet he'll link up nicely with Suarez.

On a side note there was a video of Banega up here last year and Mata looked great it in. I wonder can that be traced back. I remember people in the thread claiming from watchig the vid we should be after Mata instead.

Think (U-21)Spain are playing tomorrow night. Perhaps try catch some of that.

He was fucking amazing against England. Really showed that he was on a different level.

Thanks Daveed.

I heart Silva so this pleases me.

Yep, Mata, Martinez (both in the senior squad) and Herrara (first time seeing him) we're the stand out players.

Silva is a good comparison, Mata seems to be more suited to play "in the hole" that is behind the striker than on the wing.

Here's a little Mata special from the world cup:

Some encouraging tweets from Richard Buxton tonight.

Very little about Juan Mata's future in Spanish press over past few days but #LFC looking most likely option if he were to move to England.

Richard__Buxton Richard Buxton
No guarantee Mata would join an English club outside CL unless he was sold on idea of the bigger picture. #LFC interest dates back to
 
David Silva comparisons are probably fair enough. Mata probably has more strength on the ball but Silva would have better decision making at this stage.

He played in the U21 game against England the other night and was the stand out player on the pitch along with Martinez.

Seen that before, tremendous.

We do that every night at training, I like that international rules apply; you get megged and you're in for 2 turns - thems the rules.

There's a Danish lad playing for us right now (that khl knows) who absolutely owns that circle and pulls out similar tricks to that Mata one.

Nothing happening on the Adam deal yet. Oyston still being a cunt. We have put an offer in for Mata. What I said it would be last month.

Bet he is just following Mark Mc on here for all his ITK information,

I read elsewhere that he said "We've agreed a fee for Adam but Blackpool want more".

Jesus, he's some plank.

I've seen very little of this lad; tell me about him peoples...
[/quote]

He's pacy good positioning reasonable shot on him, can beat a man and is young.

Not as silky smooth as Silva but that ship has sailed.

I've just read that City are in for that Sanchez lad but dont want to pay more than 25M.... if we are contemplating 20M for Downing we should try for Sanchez instead... he would be better value by miles.

yeh yeh but City are in the Champs league...

City don't have five big ears in the trophy cabinet on the way into the office to sign the contract neither...

Mata would be an excellent signing in the same vein Torres was and Suarez is. He'll provide the balance, goals and the threat that we have been craving down our left flank since our heydays. If its at the reported 20 odd million its a good deal for someone so young with so much experience. I really hope this comes off, even if he's the only "marquee" signing I'd be made up.
 
We simply have to sign this guy. We missed out on David Silva, we can't miss out on Mata as well. If we sign Stewart Downing at the expense of Mata I may eat my own face.

While we're at it we should fuck off Charlie Adam and sign Javi Martinez. Throw Lucas in there too.

does anyone have kenny or commolis number? i wanna cry down the phone that we need mata at them
[/quote]

Will their fax numbers do?
 
Could be worse, can you imagine if Coco was still in charge? He'd be on holidays in the Bahamas right now with his phone switched off and probably whilst at a cinema there
 
@rorysmith_tel: And, for the fourth time, you might not want to believe it, but #LFC are not going to sign Mata any time soon.

GAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do we believe Rory, markmc or Buddha

I'm going to believe Rory. I can't see us signing him. He's a good, technical left sided player that we're crying out for. So we'll sign some mediocre gobshite instead. Stewart Downing you say?
