Juan Manuel Mata

[antonnn]

Falcao would be good but I doubt Mata would want to go to Monaco in any sort of swap deal. I'm thinking more realistic(obviously not giving Torres or Ba to Atletico, doubt they'd want either), though whether or not Costa would want to come here is a different question, and any deal with Atletico would have to wait until the end of the season as I'm sure Chelsea would prefer to get Costa in a deal for Mata. Napoli and Inter are in for him as well as Atletico, Man Utd and PSG. I can safely say he won't go to United though. I'm just curious as to whether or not Mata will push for a move now or not, he might, since he'll want to make the Spain squad for the World Cup, even though he'll never get much match time anyway as Del Bosque wouldn't play him even if he was better than Messi and Ronaldo.

What about loaning him out - to an overseas club - in January and selling him permanently in the summer? Could be a win-win situation.

come on mou. i offer u borini's face, allen's right foot and cissokho's left foot with kelly's body . that's a box to box midfielder u can't refuse.

 

[Haruko The Goon]

He deserves better than Chelsea.

You guys (barca) should move for him. The dude is top top class.

Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas, Mata, Busquets. could be a great mixture.

We got Roberto and Samper coming up...In the nearest future we should focus on the defense. That is our weakest point.

The agent of Chelsea's Juan Mata (25) has sounded out Barcelona, Madrid, Inter and PSG, although Napoli is main option now. [sunday times]

Vidic on a free, and Ter stegen will transform your defence.

who? not mocking who, but really, who? I've never heard of these two.

Sergi Roberto - he's playing quite regularly with the first team this season (came on as a sub in yesterdays match against Elche)
Sergi Samper - named the new Busquets, great talent, currently playing for the Barcelona "B" team.

Also Rafinha and Denis Suarez, no need for Mata - these two have got the potential to be even better

Easy to say, harder to do.

ter Stegen will strengthen our team, but we still need to get a centre-back (which isn't that easy to do for our dumb management).

 

[Haruko The Goon]

Hmmm, interesting. Always like finding new young players. I'll have to youtube them a bit.

He's free? Throw money at him. who will be competing for his signature? PSG, Maybeee. but I doubt it.

Not Chelsea, Juve, Inter, Bayern, Arsenal, City or Madrid. All them teams are fully set when it comes to CB's.

Only club who may be interested, in my eyes, Milan or Barca.

Potential to be better than Mata? Can't see that (not that I think Barca should seek or need Mata they don't). I'll be highly surprised if either two reach Mata's level.

Let's wait, I believe Rafinha is better than Thiago (not now but will be), and Denis Suarez is a huge prospect. With correct management they can reach Mata's level.
