Seeing as there have been links to him I think it is only fair he has his own thread.

LOL, my colleague at work claimed today that Mata was Asturian (my colleague is from Oviedo). I was slightly dubious because he tries to claim everybody is from Asturias.

 

[Hassan TPAH]

is Spanish...

 

[Cule Angles]

¡Correcto!

 

[TheMessiShow]

He has to be Spanish if he is with the Spain squad in South America right now

i entered this topic, read the posts, measured the obviousness and DAAAAAMN it was high.

Surprised he started ahead of Silva but I doubt if Silva and del Bosque like each other that much as Silva has played about 30 mins of the Confedarations Cup.

 

[diegomessi]

he did well today i would not be angry if he came to barca

 

[Raed]

Oh man, the pain that I feel everytime Mata scores especially that he scored against Barcelona and managed to nick one against us. Prime quality, gone!

Silva just came back from injury no?

 

[antimadritista]

Not sure but though he might have started on Wednesday.

 

[diegomessi]

he is young and good and his name means kill lets get him and villa

But diego, are you sure? he just only have a season. It's a marvelous season for him, but he still have a lot to proof. He has excelent tallent, but still has a lot to proof too. I just don't want him to end up like quaresma.

 

[diegomessi]

he would keep henry pushing for his spot and we could ease him into the team.. plus he is already from spain which could help.. of course you never know how a player will perform until you see it so i can not be for sure of course.
