Juan Manuel Mata

[catalan force]

they just promoted Paco Alcacer i think...they have high hopes on this lad.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Valencia will still be a force. Take it he will sign on at Chelsea today?

 

[poltergeist]

Good spanish wingers who've left la liga:
Silva, Mata, Reyes, guywhomovedtoschalke, Capel

Still left, thankfully: Cazorla, Navas, Joaquin, Prieto, Vicente, Cani, Muniain, Pablo Hernandez

Shame Jesus is always injured...

(Clasico players excluded)

There's Mati at Mallorca. Really quality player.

 

[poltergeist]

Reyes back? Where?

Agreed about Capel.. Perotti was always slightly better.
Sad to hear about Vicente...

Reyes moved to Real Madrid...He's now at Atletico.

Well I never did say Mata was better, was a genuine question posed to guys here cause they all watch more La Liga than I do.

Happy that we've signed him, he'll be real useful to us.

 

[Aryagorn]

Great goal... Typical Mata finish... Great start to his Chelsea career. Just don't want him to end up like Deco who made a similar start

 

[Barcafan 2304]

He is a good player, great start for him. Think he will develop further at Chelsea

 

[antonnn]

Great performance from him against Sunderland, he was everywhere, it's going to suck if he has a lengthy injury since we have nobody who can do what he does for us. It'll be interesting to see how he fares against United next week.

 

[RedMadridista]

Decent player.

 

[antonnn]

At a bare minimum as decent as Young.

 

[antonnn]

Correction, a lot better than Young. He's another who's getting better and better, shame most of the team is letting him down and causing most of his awesome play go to waste. He can only do so much.

 

[Bergkamp10]

He'll be even more amazing once Chelsea sign Modric and a proper striker.

 

[antonnn]

Did Modric sign a new contract with Spuds yet or is he still holding out for a move to Chelsea? Spuds are doing better than us so they might even convince him to stay if they haven't already.

 

[Jenks]

If Spurs get Champions League football, I seriously doubt Modric will make the move, even if Chelsea finish third. Apparently Spurs are going to offer him a £100k-a-week contract to stay put.

Yep Mata is brilliant. But you should play him as an AM.
